Even while knitting it I emailed Melissa to ask if it was ok for T to model it because I didn’t think I could pull it off.

Joining Ginny today for Yarn Along Knitting – I started a test for Elena of Anadiomena Designs. This one is similar to her Wild Vanilla pattern that I knit in the summer but this time with a fun kangaroo pocket that I think T will really love.
