IRISH  CROCHET  LACE
A tribute to the human spirit.Beauty born of necessity.
Conceived from lowly beginnings,With a dream of higher aspirations,
It grew out of patience, perseverance and ingenuity,
To stand in majesty,To feed a nation.
 
Irish Crochet lace originally derived from specimens of Venetian rose point, first brought to Ireland in the 1830’s by Ursuline nuns in Blackrock, Cork from France.   CLONES LACE, Marie Treanor
Accordingly girl babies were more valued than baby boys, as they would
become crochet workers and the crochet hook gave these women
dignity. Rosela farmers were described as the ‘worst in the country, as the men did the housework, while the women crocheted!..
