perfekte Beschreibung
Dieses wunderschöne Tuch ist recht groß und aufwendig, aber es lohnt sich. Besonders gefallen haben mir die Angaben, wie man ein kurzes, mittleres und langes Tuch arbeiten kann. Die Angaben zum jeweiligen Verbrauch passen exakt! Vielen Dank dafür!

Super Übung
Da ich bisher eher gehäkelt und noch nicht so viel gestrickt habe, habe ich diese Anleitung genutzt, um zu schauen, ob ich mit den zwei Fäden beim Doubleface zurecht komme und es ging super. Sehr schön erklärt, vielen Dank
