Ja Retro

Das war eine schöne Erinnerung so das ich mir die Anleitung, obwohl ich sie nicht brauchte noch gekauft habe. Denn die Idee habe ich schon in den frühen Achtzigern gehäkelt damals mit Stickgarn, also schön Bund.

Edle Hühner ...

halten nun meine Frühstückseier warm und zieren den gedeckten Tisch. Ich habe sie mit dickem Baumwollgarn ziemlich locker gehäkelt, damit die Hühner auf die dicken Bio-Eier passen. Vielen Dank!

    Wie sieht es aus mit Wolke/Acryl für diese Eiermützen, das hält die Wärme ja eigentlich besser? Grundsätzlich arbeite ich lieber mit BW.
