  1. Brigid’s Cross Tutorial

    "In Ireland #Candlemas (or pagan #Imbolc) is celebrated as St Brigid’s feast day. It’s a holiday where the returning of the light and the nature after the dark winter is celebrated. A typical symbol for this holiday is the Brigid’s cross (or Brigit’s cross), a four-ended cross made of straw or rushes, with a knotted pattern in the middle. Traditionally the crosses are made on the holiday and set over doorways and windows to protect the home from fire or any kind of harm.

    There are many different variations of Brigid’s crosses. The Brigid’s Cross tutorial I’m showing here is the most common."

  12. I loved this segment of #VictorianFarm [begins at 7:30] -- #plaiting straw, with the end result being a straw hat! I've made #Brigid's crosses with straw, but always to wanted to make something bigger -- like a basket. I also found some web pages and videos for smaller projects that I'll be posting today!
