Caught up in Crocheting




Several students took a workshop with counselor Noreen to learn how to crochet, as well as how crocheting came to Ireland as a means to provide income during the famine.  Families crocheted intricate designs as luxury goods.  After quickly catching onto the craft and crocheting over the past few days, we have several headbands and a couple of scarves completed!
