Here and Gone

We're back, but we're going again... this time to Fire Island for a sweetheart of a week in Ocean Beach. Then we'll stop going on vacation for a few weeks. Anyhoo...

For the lazy and/or patient, and/or ambivalent: in about a week, I'll post a whole schma about our trip to Maine, travelogue and all!

For the antsy and/or bored and/or easily excited: you can browse through the photos on Flickr at this very moment! Go on, the chicken says it's okay:

Briefly, in knitting news:

(1) My first-ever self-designed sweater appears to be too big. Not because of an error in gauge or anything, just because, like a fool, I think I started out by taking the measurements of a top that is actually too large on me. Otherwise it looks pretty good. It's a yoked cardi of sorts. I've attached the sleeves to the bod, will decrease a little, then plan to attempt to form a bit of a scooped neck by doing some shortrowing. I say that as if I have any idea what shortrowing is. Whatever it is, Joelle from Purl suggested it, so it must be good.

(2) I've swatched for the Union Square Market Pullover, and glory be, I've got gauge using a US2. The fabric is a tiny bit dense for my taste, but after all, she IS a sweater. I'm hoping to get started on her this week.
