FOUND: Beautiful Irish Lace Pin Cushion to Crochet; Free Pattern

I found the most beautiful pin cushion to crochet on KnittingDaily.com, of all places.
I can't wait to start this but I think I'll use the free pattern to make a sachet rather than replacing my good old little Babe stuffed piggie that I've been using for a pin cushion for so many years. (Poor piggie, all stuck with pins and needles!)

This is a free pattern for crochet, called "Irish Lace Pin Cushion".  It uses crochet thread and a small hook and is very intricate in design.  This link is to the page where you can find the PDF download button.  Make sure you have Adobe Reader for the PDF file (it's free for Mac and Windows too)

As soon as I get started on this lovely project I'll post my own photo but for now you'll have to visit the pattern link to see what this beauty looks like and appreciate why I'm so excited about it.

Let me know if you make one of these.  If you don't have your own blog or site you can send me the photo and I'll post it on this page with your internet handle, etc., if you like.  

Happy Hooking! (Would that make us Happy Hookers?) ack.
