Der Pulli sieht so wunderschön aus, so schlicht und edel, genau der richtige Pulli für alle Gelegenheiten, zum Rauf- und Runter-Kombinieren. Mir geht es mit dem Buch genauso wie dir anfangs, und erst jetzt seh ich wie schön und tragbar die Designs doch sind. Das liegt aber natürlich auch an deiner Strickkunst, die Maschen sind ja unglaublich perfekt und gleichmäßig. <BR/>Bin so begeistert, daß ich am liebsten auch gleich einen anfangen möchte, supersuperschön!Krawugglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552314811678481044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515337.post-90439344487164047312007-11-29T09:10:00.000-08:002007-11-29T09:10:00.000-08:00I love the simple beauty of this sweater - elegant...I love the simple beauty of this sweater - elegant, timeless.
