I just “happened across” your web site, and I can’t believe how beautiful the techniques are and your generosity in sharing these with the public. I have been crocheting for almost 60 years, and some of these are new to me! I am definitely going to “donate” and will be adding your link to my Favorites. Thank you!
Oh my goodnessss.. your pieces of work were amazing! I also just happened to come across your website! I just took up crocheting and I didn’t know that crochet could be soo… beautiful!
I would love to be able to read your instructions though.. Found some sites that gives definition but i still don’t understand, for e.g., the part in bracket in “Ch 6 (to count as dc an ch-3″..
Do you have any recommended crochet abbreviation demystifier link?
Hi, the bracketed content explains WHY you chain 6. Chain 6 takes the place of the DC and the first ch3. Hope that helps! In this case the info in the brackets is not an instruction to repeat stitches. A dc takes 3 chains to duplicate in a turning stitch. The other chain 3 makes up for the 3 chains you would be doing after the dc.
I love your website, and I adore your work. I crocheted and knitted as a child, and now at age 60 and retired, I have discovered crochet again. I have fallen in love with Irish lace crochet, and recently attended a course on Clones Irish Lace Crochet. I am inspired by your work, and generous sharing of it. Donation is definitely on the way!

Hi Maoiliosa, thank you so much for visiting, for sharing your love for crochet and the donation! I do appreciate those very much and provide encouragement when things are a bit down.
I’m in my 40′s and “retired” – quite unwillingly – and now hoping to find a new life through crochet… For me, Irish Crochet was the first step towards “unconventional crocheting” including free-form and laces. So I can imagine that as one “retires”, crochet can open up a whole new world of discoveries and beautiful things – such that one doesn’t really retire after all.

That must’ve been a workshop by Maire you attended. Was it in Ireland? Some of her workshops are at http://irishcrochettogether.blogspot.com/p/workshops-and-classes.html – it’s a new blogsite put together by friends from the Irish Crochet Lovet’s Group on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/groups/irish-crochet-lovers).
