Oops...... Not so Lucky.

With a world wide audience I get a chance to show my ignorance from time to time. Several people pointed out that this mornings Luck of the Irish pattern was not traditionally accurate. I had used the 4-leaf clover instead of the shamrock. Here is a quote from one of my long time readers, Ray "The Irish tradition is the Shamrock, not the 4-leaf clover. The shamrock was use by St. Patrick to try to explain the mystery of the Trinity (the Roman Catholic concept of three Divine Persons in one God) to the locals, so the three lobes on the plant are an important part of the tradition."

I corrected the pattern to more reflect the tradition. You can download the new version from the button below. Thanks Ray for helping me out.
