Has anyone tried this type of lace. I'm thinking of doing some for a christening gown. The part that scares me, though, is that you put in the ground after you make the motifs, thus joining them together. It seems to me that it would be difficult to keep the ground looking even as you do this. Has anyone done this, and is it hard to keep it even? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Sharon in UT ========================================================= Hi Sharon, The process is pretty simple actually. After you make the motifs for Irish Crochet, like roses and leaves and other elements, you baste them down to a pattern (a process like battenburg lace) and then work the crocheted ground between the motifs to connect them and create a complete fabric. So the backing is what keeps everything where it is supposed to be until the ground is finished.
