I dreamt of Ava
2 days ago, after viewing my new knitting friend's blog (a knitted story), i had Ava poncho dreams. Call me ridiculous or something ! After seeing Jennifer wearing that poncho she knitted by herself weeks ago, i have been thinking of getting Rowan Ribbon Twist collection book which features Ava. But that poncho isn't exactly the poncho i want. It is Jennifer's own version of Ava poncho i craved for. It is knitted with Filatura di crossa Zara yarn and it looks fabulous !A knitter's desire to create beautiful handknits is powerful enough to cause disturbing dreams.
I also had nightmares of not being able to finish Martha because of my wandering mind that's constantly filled with wanting and obssessing with other projects.
Martha ( back piece, up to armhole shaping, but mysteriously slowing down.)
I love Martha and would even love to wear it as soon as possible. Imagine knitting with 3.0 mm needles, it is stressing me out and it seems that by the time i finish it, it would be summer. No more Martha fashion parades for me! But i also had a mini fantasy of wearing Ava too, especially for those mild spring mornings. Moreover, with my latest acquisition of Ivore Dpns, i want to knit Fetching badly from Knitty, another pair of Japanese handwarmers ( pattern contributed by Jennifer again) and another pair of gentleman's socks for Mr H.
Lately, i have landed on a casual job and it is sucking away my knitting time even though i have more money to buy yarns. Now, i just have to wake up 1 hour earlier just to sneak in a few rows of knitting and go to work a happy lady !

Good luck with your new job. You can always start another project, it's good to have multiples going, so you don't get bored, right ;) Those both are great items.
Congrats on the new job and I love your Martha!!!!!!!!
remember - many sucessful knitters have many different projects going at once....... so it's okay to do it right!!!!!
wow its looking beautiful!!! I have lots of projects on the go so don't feel guilty!
Martha is looking good! Love the poncho too. I understand what you mean by having a job is eating your knitting time because I have the same feeling too. But the positive side is that so we can buy nicer yarns!
good luck with the new job, nothing like having more money to spend on yarn! martha is looking lovely. x
