That's my girl

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.

Oooh, love Martha. My Martha is still in balls waiting to be cast on. Must finish Charm first! Must finish, must finish, no....

wow, that was quick, my Martha's yarn is lying unrtouched on top of a pile of stuff, calling me relentlessly. but i have been bitten by the spinning bug...
she turned out beautiful!
love your edgy thingy, very intriguing!

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.

Your Martha is lovely! What fun to have it finished for Spring/Summer wearing!

I like the buttons you chose for Martha. Beautiful job!

Lovely Martha - good choice on buttons too. I am sure you will enjoy wearing her.

Lovely, lovely Martha! Now I really want to get mine done. :-)

Martha looks wonderful, the buttons finish it off very nicely. I'm starting my Edgy project tonight. I'm starting to think I'm one of the last to get going!

your martha turned out lovely! i love the color and the little tag on the back is just perfect.

Hi Sam, Your Martha is very beautiful ! You are tempting me to start mine. Good work !

your martha looks fantastic!

Martha is fantastic. The color is lovely and the buttons are a really nice choice.

Hi Sam
Your Martha looks wonderful! Mine's on hold, whilst I try to cut down the wips, but I'm tempted to get it out!
What's next? Or is it the edging exchange?

Your Martha looks perfect and such a pretty colour too, well done. It's nice to get started on Edgy too isn't it? I don't feel too bad now I've cast on! Hearing stories of how some have nearly finished got me a bit jumpy.
