Masterpieces of Irish Crochet,
By Leslie P. Phillips (Moab,, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterpieces of Irish Crochet Lace: Techniques, Patterns, Instructions (Paperback)
This book is different from anything you will buy in a craft store. I loved it. There are techniques that are lost in the piles and piles of doileys and afghans that are seen everywhere today. If you like to work with small thread, you will love this book. It also holds a lot of history in it, in that anyone who had a poor Irish Grandmother who made lace for the "rich neighbors", will see the reason "rich neighbors" wanted to buy if from her. The quality and beauty of the designs is a testiment to the talent and ingenuity of a people who only had something if they could make it out of nothing. You will love this book even if you never use any of the designs.

to complicated for me,
By shacary "Shacary" (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterpieces of Irish Crochet Lace: Techniques, Patterns, Instructions (Paperback)
I have to confess, I love crocheting, but altho the items in this booklet are beautiful the directions are time consuming and a bit more complicated than I like. I crochet for pleasure, im not a pro, so Im just not up to these patterns!
