Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello everyone! I haven't forgotten about my promise to share with you the pattern of my Shamrocks Shawl, I've just been too busy to write a post on here, though the pattern's been on Ravelry for quite some time now; anyway, there you go: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shamrocks-shawl. I'd be more than happy if some of you should decide to hook it, and in case you do please let me know what you think! : ) Oh, and of course:  Happy St. Patrick's Day! Sláinte !

For Ireland, and Ireland only...

... The harp, the Shamrock,  Green, white and gold... I almost never write about my love for Celtic culture, I don't really know why; but it's somethind deep rooted in my spirit, a connection that only grows stronger as years go by.  I had the chance to write my bachelor's degree thesis about W. B. Yeats and the Celtic elements within the folk traditions of Éire, a few years back, and thanks to this I got to know Irish culture much better than I did, though I still haven't had the occasion to visit the place. Needless to say, I love everything related: mythology, folklore, traditions... Plus, I absolutely love green, so: a few years later, here's my tiny tribute to the Emerald Isle of Éire, or Ireland, if you wish. : ) What do you think? I know it's simple looking (and simple to make, in fact), but I really like the way it turned out, and I'm quite proud of my shamrocks all around... Would you like to wear your own Irish-related shaw
