Gut nach zu arbeiten

Hatte viel Spaß beim Häkeln. Sehr gut beschrieben und bebildert. Ich hatte nur Probleme damit, dass die Hühner auf den Bechern bleiben, trotz des Gummis.

Die Anleitungen sind sehr ausführlich und gut beschrieben und somit auch leicht nach zu arbeiten. Das Ergebnis wurde an Ostern als Deko eingesetzt und allgemein bewundert.

Absolut super

Wie toll ist bitte diese Anleitung und wie schön das Ergebnis? Es hat auch riesig Spaß gemacht, da so viele unterschiedliche Maschen gehäkelt werden. Das Huhn ist einfach zauberhaft - zudem ist Elke sehr freundlich und hilft immer weiter, sollte es mal Fragen geben. Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür! Es gibt keine 6 Sterne - daher "nur" 5.

Schöne Ideen. Nicht immer einfach nachvollziehbar

Mir gefallen die Modelle. Die Beschreibungen sind ausführlich. Für mich nicht immer gleich einfach nachvollziehbar und schlüssig. Die Ergebnisse sind mit etwas Kreativität sehr schön.

Tolles Geschenk

Ich habe diese Engelchen als Weihnachtsgeschenke für meine Freundinnen und Kolleginnen gehäkelt. Alle haben sich riesig gefreut. Mit einem Teelicht sehen sie noch weihnachtlicher aus. Aber auch als Baumschmuck kommen sie gut zur Geltung. Das Häkeln macht Spaß und ist einfach. Zu Beginn habe ich ca. 2h pro Engelchen benötigt. Mit etwas Übung sind es nicht 1,5h. Prima Projekt um es auch einfach mal für Unterwegs oder Wartezeiten mitzunehmen.
