I took advantage of having my lovely model, Clara, here in the USA this August.
She was visiting from Paris -
Modeling a "Flower Vest" I made for myself.
PS. dear friends - No pattern for this right now. Most of the things I make up as I go along. I'm working on my pattern - writing skills. Onward and upward - some day i hope to publish
a sweet little book with all my crazy ideas and creations - with patterns!!!
Finally.. I will be publishing new patterns! The fingerless gloves are being forwarded to a few friends for testing. The 2- pointed baby hat will be soon to follow as well as the "Lacy Scarf". I'll also be selling hats, gloves etc. this Holiday Season - watch my blog to find out where and when!
This past July I had a wonderful opportunity to meet and take a workshop with,
Maire Treanor, an amazing Irish Lace crocheter. She has been documenting and preserving this exquisite delicate crochet craft. The class was filled a great group of intrepid crocheters who weren't afraid of those little tiny sized crochet hooks and skinny thread. Talk about patience!!! I found Maire to be a very kind and encouraging teacher. Her vast knowledge was not only of the stitches ( including the famous clones knot) but also the history and economics of the "Lace Industry" in Ireland.
