Patrick Frey to create an unusual knitted calendar called Gregor calendar, which combines both a tear-off calendar and a grandmother's scarf. 12 months long, this New Year's scarf will take up a lot of wall space. But at the same time it will decorate it, like an original, stylish machine-knitted tapestry.
