Priscilla Irish Crochet Book No1 (1912)
As a method for teaching myself, I'm currently working through the Priscilla Irish Crochet Book No1 (1912). I began this project on July 12th 2024.
If you would like to read more about each motif / design and see the original motif from the book you can do so on my blog. You can also view all of my complete pieces on my portfolio page. I'm currently making Fig. 95 (page 34) and will update the website at the end of March. If you would like to see the motifs as I make them I post regularly on instagram @crochetciuin
"The aim of the worker should be to produce the most artistic work she is capable of; therefore if by altering a curve, or by adding a leaflet to any sprig, she would make a design more pleasing to herself, she should not for one moment hesitate to follow her artistic instinct. It is the power to do this which makes Irish crochet so very fascinating."
