My first purse -- Haekelbeutel

[LyndyLou]

After drooling over it for a long time I finally put my other projects aside and made my very own Haekelbeutel!

 

BTW, does anyone know the translation for Haekelbeutel from German to English? And the proper pronunciation?

Turned out very nice its still on my "to do " list

[warmfuzzies]

Well, "beutel" means "bag" in German, but I can't find a translation for "haekel".

 

It's a fun bag.........I made one in Caron's "Felt-it" ..........it was much smaller than the original once felted, but I really liked the way it turned out.

 

Pretty bag!

Your bag is beautiful and look at that little furry face in the picture soooo cute!

[RusticOkie]

Very nice. The proper way to say it is "H bag" lol. Okay so I don't know either, but I'd like to hear the answer.

My mom grew up in family that was fluent in German so I asked if she could translate Haekel. She says it means ‘to crochet.’ However when we looked it up in the German dictionary we couldn’t find Haekel. We did find Häkeln [v] (hook), which means ‘fasten with a hook,’ and Häkelnadel means ‘crochet hook’ or ‘crochet needle.’ Since the A-umlaut (ä) is often replaced with the (ae) combination, Haekel is probably just a variation of Häkeln. So loosely translated, HaekelBeutel = Crocheted Bag.

My BIL is German so I asked him. He said it simply means my crocheted bag.
