The original pattern for this is "Shamrock Bookmark" designed by Michelle Ryan and is available on Ravelry. This obviously is not a bookmark. I used a size 7 steel hook and size 10 thread. The result--a wall hanging. The thread came from my stash and there wasn't enough to do an edging. My husband and I had a good time last night cutting the backing and mat, mounting the fabric, and placing everything in the frame. I am pleased with the end product. It is now hanging on a dining room wall with an Irish Welcome Prayer and the family history.
On my needles now is a knited cabled coat in red. If I'm lucky, I'll finished it in time to wear at least once before warm weather settles in.
