I enjoy
to discover crochet techniques – especially when they are as delicate as Irish
Crochet
Irish
crochet originated in the potato famine years in Ireland. It is characterized
by seperately crocheted motifs, which are later assembled using a mesh
background.
The
motifs usually take the form of solid ribbons, leaves, shamrocks and flowers.
It is
easier to learn a new technique if you do not use very fine thread. So I tried
it with some yarn that I had already bought some time ago.
Furthermore,
I like to start with small projects. So I decided to crochet a wristband.
I hope
you like it.
