Get Pinched

St. Patrick's Day, March 17th...the day where everyone decides they need to drink green beer and wear green so they don't get pinched.  It sounds so strange to type that out.    We have certainly lost the meaning of this holiday.  How many people know what St. Patrick's day is about and why we do this?  Not many I would suppose, I don't or didn't.  You can read about Saint Patrick's Day here

I always plan on making something for the holidays to wear or display, but never plan ahead enough.  As of right now I have 2 1/2 days to make something, and on the hunt searching the Internet for a crochet pattern I like.  So far the Lion Brand Shamrock Pattern, is the only one I like.

What will this Shamrock turn into??  Maybe a simple pin, or necklace....maybe earrings, a barrette?  Hmmm, maybe that is why I never seem to finish anything before the holiday...I can never decide what to make.
