Judith Gengler gets one-on-one attention from Kathie Earle.
Intent on the intricacies of Irish crochet (left to right): Bonnie Pollard, Mary Jane Wood, Jean Ness, Marthe Smith.
After the crocheted motifs (roses, leaves, shamrocks, etc.) are made, they are basted onto polished cotton. Then the motifs are crocheted together with Clones lace (a combination of chains and picots). Some croche ters prefer to use chains and Clones knots for joining the motifs.
