After 1,5 - 2 years of knitting (with many and long-time breaks) I finished - this morning - shawl (18 colors) for my friend from museum (by Kaffe Fasset`s design). Details: (5 x 25) stitches X (18 x 30) rows = 125 stitches x 540 rows, 75 cm x 225 cm and ... 1,7 kg. I`m verry happy!!! Tomorrow the gift will be offered!
