She’s finally done. ❤️
What started as curiosity turned into a full-blown rabbit hole into the world of Irish crochet.
Along the way, I learned about a craft that helped women earn an income and support their families at a time when financial independence wasn’t something many women had access to. I also found myself diving into my own family history and the stories that connect us to the past.
This sweater became so much more than a crochet project. Every motif, every length of cord, and every stitch represents hours spent learning, experimenting, and appreciating the women who came before us.
It’s one of my favourite pieces I’ve ever made. Not just because of how it turned out, but because of the history woven into it.
Had you ever heard of Irish crochet before now? 🍀🧶
