If this is Tuesday, then I must be in Jupiter.

Vacation does that to you--disorients you so you don't know which day it is.  And then there is THIS (pictured), which was totally unexpected; I just wanted to make sure this sweater wouldn't be too small for me, so I did a quick WIP wet-block, and...WTF?  Those two balls of yarn were from the same dye lot, weren't they?  The color in this photo is off; in reality the lower portion is distinctly grayer than the upper.  I thought maybe I just hadn't wetted the upper part enough and it had some, I don't know, SIZING on it or something, so I wetted it all again, and...same thing.  How annoying.  I looked through all of the various swatches and sleeves I have for this Chinese Lace project, and one of them did in fact match the lower part shown ( I had begun this piece from an already-started ball.) 

Well, in spite of the husband's kind comment that he liked it that way, this piece is now history; the scary part is that when the yarn is wound, it's VERY hard to discern any difference in color.  Oh well; I'm going to make it a bit bigger, anyway; I intend for this sweater to be close-fitting, but I don't want that pulling across the lower back that results when something is a little too tight around the hips.

The good news?  I don't think I'll have to worry about running out of yarn before we fly home on Sunday--a prospect which was making me a little anxious.  Even better news:  I think I'll go to the Jupiter LYS anyway, just to check it out... for future reference....
