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.

Fesche Hühner - Eierwärmer/Körbchen

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.

Wie alle Anleitungen von Elke Eder; so ist auch die Beschreibung der "feschen Hühner" wieder sehr gut und verständlich geschrieben und bebildert. Es hat mir richtig Spaß gemacht die Hühnerschar zu häkeln.

Super Anleitung

Die Anleitung ist sehr umfangreich und wunderbar beschrieben. Da ich 5 Hühncheen gemacht habe, waren die Schritte und Häkelmuster nach einem Hühnchen sofort in meinem Kopf. es war also nicht schwer und alles noch rechtzeitig zu Ostern fertig. Meine Familie war begeistert. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Idee.
