Job transition
For a about one past year, I have been working in the handcraft industry. At the end of February, I have quitted the job and started the new one from March.
Why? The most biggest reason is that I realised that I would never get the assignment I wanted to, which has not yet existed in the company but have been supposed to be one day. And my working condition has been changed dramatically since last autumn, so I cannot work full-time for some more years. Under the situation, if I keep staying in the company, I have to devote even my private night time to handle all the task and lose the knitting time, and my job is not what I want to do.
My new job has completely no relation to any handcraft or knitting, but I am now happier. Minimum I can keep my time for knitting at night, and adding to that, I can get 1 hour free before leaving home every morning!
And I keep knitting my Electra:
I finished the back and started the left front. This is amasingly quick knitting, and fun.
BTW, every time I knit Rowan pattern, always the number of stitches of back and front shoulders are different, and it really annoying me because normally I do three-needle binding. It is much more easier and very neat. So always I adjust the shoulder stitch numbers to do it and at the same time do short-row method.
I am used to do it so it is OK, but this time the problem is that the short-row part bumped into the fair-isle rows. GEE! I though bravely tried it and made it:
You have to somewhat adjust some stitches without color changing, but anyway it looks short-row(even if it's messy!). After finishing it, I felt victory just an instant, before realizing that I have to do it for both front shoulders....sigh.

Hope the new job fits you better. Now you can concentrate in you own knitting!
You did a good job on the color matching for this Electra. Enjoy your knitting time!

Glad your new job suits you much better. Knitting time is always important. I spent last week barely knitting because of overall busyness and was quite sad by the end of it.
I really like the colors of your cardigan! Its coming out very well...can't wait to see the final product.

Wow, that is an amazing sweater. It looks so complicated! I'm very impressed by your skills.
In the meantime, I hope you can knit in the evening to take away some of the stress from your new job!
