Starting the test

June 28, 2013 Elena KnitsBikini, Knitting, Madrid, Pattern test, Testing, Travels

After a couple of months not knitting on a daily basis, today I’ve decided to start the pattern test for Andi. I received my wool this week and today we are leaving on a weekend trip to Valencia. The train there takes slightly longer than 90 minutes, so I think …
