Last week I was browsing the net for crochet books and I came across a book on Irish Crochet. That was the first time I heard that term and I looked it up. I was mesmerized to see works done in this wonderful type of crochet. The feeling was similar to what I felt when I saw my first tatting pattern at needlecraft. I had to learn this wonderful art. So I downloaded a free book and set about learning Irish Crochet. This is the first result.
In this type of crochet a padding cord is used to make sturdy lace with a 3D effect. If you look it up on google you can see the amazing things people have done using Irish Crochet. Maybe it was beginner's luck. But my first motif turned out alright. I'm still not completely sure about the technique. But I think this is a passable reproduction. Also I'm not sure if 'padding cord' is some special type of cord. I just used the working thread folded into 4 as padding cord.
