  1. Congratulations on this new Irish Blog site on Irish knitting and Crochet. - a wonderful advertisement and badly needed. I just finished tutoring a weekend workshop on Clones Lace today, held in the Cassandra Hand Centre here in Clones, County Monaghan. Clones Lace is an Irish Crochet lace. I will be holding another course on the weekend of 27-28th November 2010. If anyone is interested in learning how to do wool or thread crochet, why not contact me at maireslace@gmail.com

  2. Thank you, we hope to continue with this to diffuse the idea some people seem to have that there are no knitters and crocheters in Ireland
