I'm pleased to say that Martha is finished! It's finished off with some ivory shell buttons that do give the colour a bit of a lift. The fit is good, although I wouldn't want it to be any larger. I'd say, it took a bit of sustained effort with all the patterning, but worth it in the end.
I've also made a start on Edgy Exchange, using some stash yarn. This is a scarf, copied from a picture on Amelia's blog:
Now I've started, I'm not too sure how much yarn might be needed. The edging will come later!
Your Martha looks great!!! I'm still knitting on the back,slowly. I have a quick question for you. When you get to the armhole shaping the pattern reads end with the RS facing, is it facing you or what? Thanks in advance for the explanation.

Martha looks great, think it is the same colour as mine - pale green? Have you changed the neck-line - I did the original square neck, but did about 8 rows of garter stitch instead of the 2 it said in the pattern.
