Hi Barb and everyone
What you say here is most helpful, thankyou!:
I was first introduced to
> it in 1950, when there was a bit of revival, due to an article in
Woman's
> Day magazine ...the same series that introduced a lot of people to bobbin
My mats could well be a product of that era.
I could have googled first without asking at arachne-lace, but it is
more fun to ask first <vbg>
I did take your advice to search, found this description of Irish crochet:
"Motifs are crocheted separately and then later added to a mesh
background which can be very fine" and I do have a length of edging
that was made in this way. The trefoils and other elements look
sculptured.
The two doilies with raised rosettes, and the palm leaf shapes, are
made continuously.
