An Excerpt:
"When working our an Irish Crochet design from
nature, make a study
of the blossom
or flower from nature first, and compare with illustration, carefully noticing any special
characteristics...Having worked
the blossom and leaves, there is no need to keep strictly
to the shape and arrangement of design given. By the addition or omission
of flowers and leaves the spray could be arranged into a deep lace, or a shaped
trimming for a blouse..."
