Iddo - for him

All the designs I made within the last years, were an option for the printed book - the book Magische Maschen Mode would not have included all pattern instructions!

Magische Maschen Mode 2 is the second e-Book of this series in Swing-Knitting Light Technique.

Hier sind die ersten drei Kursbausteine in einem Band zusammengefasst, mit durchgehendem Inhaltverzeichnis.
