A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Crochet!
EDITOR
Carol Alexander
Brad Snow
ART DIRECTOR
No Place like home

Home is usually thought of as
that special place where we live in cozy comfort,
either alone or with people we love. For those
of us who are blessed with the convenience and
pleasure of having a nice place in which to live, it
might be hard to fully understand the difficulties
faced by families that, often due to circumstances

beyond their control, are either homeless or in
dire need of more adequate living space.
Im sure most of us have heard of the international organization, Habitat for Humanity, whose dedicated and selfless volunteers have, for over 30 years, tirelessly donated their time and
labor to build more than 200,000 much-needed homes to house
more than 1,000,000 people in 3,000 communities worldwide. I
am truly delighted to share with you that last summer, our small
town of Berne, Ind., in a partnership between our local county
affiliate for Habitat for Humanity and DRG Publishing, was
privileged to participate in a Habitat for Humanity house project for a local family with four children. In our article on page 42, youll meet the Steens
and read how despair turned into a miracle for this deserving family.
Berne is also the home of Dynamic Resource Group, publishers of Crochet! and
numerous other special-interest magazines, books, kits and continuities. Crochet!
magazine was delighted to be able to give one of our previously published afghan
designs, Sunshine Lace, that was featured in the May 2004 issue, to the Steens as a
gift for their new house. We hope it will bring a bright ray of sunshine to their home!

A treasure
of a box
I just wanted
you to know that
your pattern for
the Mini Jewelry
Box in the May
2006 issue of Crochet! will be a Treasure
Box for our churchs upcoming Womens
Ministry Retreat Day. I am making 25
boxes so each participant can have one.
I have never crocheted anything this
small, and Im having a great time learning how to work with crochet thread as
opposed to worsted weight yarn! I would
like to see more items like this. Thanks
for the inspiration!
Judy Anderson,
via e-mail
Where do I begin?
WOW! When I received the May

2006 issue I didnt know where to begin.
My favorite projects in this issue are the
Girly-Girl Pillows, Trellis Throw and the
Bohemian Wristbands. I enjoy the variety
of projects from traditional to trendy.
Your magazine has something for
everyone. I enter projects in our state fair,
and this issue has some very good entries.
Thanks!

Thanks for your letter, Trish. Many
of the fabulous fashions in Crochet! are,
in fact, stylish and flattering on women of
various ages and sizes. Youll find a number
of them include a range of sizes through
X-large.
In future issues, look for more patterns
that include sizes beyond X-large. We hear
you, and agree that big girls are beautiful, too!

More than a
Home
Habitat for Humanity and a local publishing company
join together to turn one familys despair into a miracle
of hope for a brighter future.
B Y S U E R EEVE S
The morning dawned unseasonably
cold as a light rain spit from the gray sky,

but nothing could dampen the spirits of
Jeff and Vicki Steen, their four children
and dozens of dripping but excited onlookers. A miracle was about to unfold
before their eyes.
Shortly after 9 a.m. on May 13,
2006, ground was broken for the Steens
new home, a partnership between the
Adams County (Indiana) affiliate of
Habitat for Humanity International
and Dynamic Resource Group. It is the
first Habitat home to be built in Berne,
population 4,150 and home of DRG,
the magazines publisher.
This is nothing short of a miracle,
Jeff Steen told the crowd. The last three
years have been a downward spiral for us.
Jeff has undergone four back surgeries after a swimming accident in 2002 left
him with two ruptured disks. Scar tissue

Humanity affiliate for the Jeff and Vicki Steen family of
Berne, Ind. is nearing completion.

from the injuries causes constant pain and

partial paralysis of one leg, but the risk of
causing more damage by removing the
tissue is too great.
Instead, doctors will try implanting a
device that blocks the pain signal from the

nerve to his brain. It can reduce the pain by
up to 70 percent, if it works, he said. While
Jeff waited to schedule this latest surgery,
Vicki was hospitalized with severe chest
Crochet! magazine gave the lovely Sunshine Lace throw that appeared in the May 2004 issue as a gift for the
Steen familys new home.
pains. She underwent emergency surgery

to remove her gall bladder 11 days after the
groundbreaking ceremony.
Before he was injured, Jeff worked as
a bricklayer, then at an auto-parts store,
where he was eventually promoted to store
manager. Even after his 12-week medical
leave ran out, the company was supportive.
Although his employment finally had to be
terminated, Jeff said they still call several
times a month to check up on him.
If I can ever get back to work, I
know I have a job, he said.
Vicki works the overnight shift at a
nearby convenience store. She works nights,
Jeff said, so she can help him with Tabitha,
3, and Mikael, 5, hoping to avoid further
injury to his back. They also have two older
sons, Timothy, 14 and Anthony, 11.
I feel so bad for Vicki, Jeff said.
She never had to work before. She works
so hard and now shes going to get a new
house. She really deserves it.
The 1,200 square foot, 4 bedroom
ranch-style home is located in an established neighborhood about two blocks
from the local elementary school. It wont
have a garage, but the building trades class
at Adams Central High School in Monroe, Ind., about 6 miles north of Berne,
built and donated a wooden storage shed.

Jeff and Vicki became aware of the
possibility of home ownership after Mikael brought information home from his
Head Start program.
They told us the night we sat down
to do the paperwork that this is not a
gift, Jeff said. They have no idea what
a gift it really is, to have a new home. We
never, ever thought wed have this.
When Jeff and Vicki got the phone
call saying they had been selected, 11year-old Anthony was concerned about
the other families who werent chosen.
Anthony has Marfan syndrome, a

disorder of the bodys connective tissues.
Despite two leaky heart valves and other physical problems, Jeff said, Anthony
thinks more of others than himself.
We explained again how they have
a long process and they pick the family
who needs it most, Jeff said. We told
him maybe one of the other families will
get it next year.
Habitat homeowners are required to
put in 300 to 500 hours of sweat equity
before the construction of their homes
can begin. Jeff and Vicki have volunteered
at the local Boys & Girls Club and have
helped with Red Cross blood drives.
In addition to paying their sweatequity hours, Jeff said, volunteering has
helped him battle the depression, guilt and
shame he feels over not being able to work.
Its just such an awesome feeling to
be there and be a part of it, Jeff said. It
gave me a feeling of self-worth, like I accomplished something. Its what Ive been
looking for, what I needed.
Its also something he and Vicki can
do together. They plan to continue volunteering long after their house is built.
We are doing things weve never
done before, Jeff said. This is so much
more than just a home for us. C!

wash cycles using no detergent, do
not rinse between cycles. Monitor
the felting process as the time may
vary depending on the desired firmness of the Clutch. Rinse in cold
water. Let washer spin out some of
water, take Clutch out of pillowcase
and roll in a towel to absorb more
moisture.
Lay out on towel, adjust shape as needed
and let dry completely.

the washing machine for 20 minutes

or more on the hottest wash cycle and
lowest water level. Add washing powder. If your machine is gentle please add
some tennis balls, rubber flip-flops or a
pair of old jeans to help the agitation.
The warmth, soap and agitation will felt
the wool and make it shrink to size.
It may be a good idea to check it after 15
minutes.
Rinse in cold water and roll up in a towel

Scarf is worked in rounds from the

center of the hood. After the hood
is completed, the scarf is added
as 2 parts to the sides of the hood.
The fur-yarn trim is added after the

Also note that the MC yarn is a thick
and thin yarn and will create bubbles
as you crochet. Because you will be
working the hood from the wrong
side, push these bubbles to the side
of the work facing away from you
while creating the hood.

When it has reached the desired size, take
it out and rinse thoroughly in cold water without wringing or twisting and
roll in towel to absorb excess moisture.
Use a mixing bowl or large ball to shape
the hood and allow the garment to sit,
undisturbed, until it is completely dry,
which may take several days.

one eye, then a slight blur. Over the next

few weeks a thick gray fog crept steadily
over my sight, involving first one eye,
then the other, until there was very little
left that I could see. It was like looking through a car windshield thats been
frosted. I could make out light and dark,
and the occasional color and shape, but
there was nothing to hold onto. I was 21
years old.
The diagnosis took several weeks,
but eventually it came. I had an extremely
rare infection of both my optic nerves.
The good news was that I was expected
to almost completely recover my vision
in six months. The bad news was that,
while I waited for my body to heal, nothing more could be done. I had officially
joined the ranks of the vision impaired.
My mothers reaction to this news
was unique and beautiful. She went out
66
and bought me a crochet hook.

I should state for the record that
this was not the first time my mother attempted to teach me the craft. She had
first put a hook in my hand when I was
8 years old while we waited on the sidelines of my brothers Little League games.
Other valiant efforts had taken place at
ages 9, 11, 12 and 16, when she finally
gave up. The instruction had never taken
hold. She did manage to pass on her love
of making thingsover the years I had
spent many hours happily sewing clothes,
embroidering and beading. But with my
loss of eyesight, it felt like all my beloved
activities had been taken away.
I was terribly gloomy, but Mom
bought the hook and found the yarn from
her last instructional attempt in her stash.
(Of course no true craftswoman would
ever throw such a thing away.) This you
can do, she said. And I could.
Both Mom and I were surprised at

how quickly I was able to pick up what
had once been so elusive. It was indeed
something I could do, with one hand
holding the hook, it was easy enough to
feel for the next stitch with the other.
Vision would almost have been a liabilitywithout it, I was free to concentrate on the sensations of the yarn running through my hands, letting my fingers memorize the intricate movement.
A mystical thing started to happen as I
moved from my first loopy, gaping stitches to creating an even cloth, to making my
very first sweater: I was learning a new
way of seeing.
Beauty is not an exclusive property of
the visual realm. Most fiber artists know
this instinctively. I always smile when Im
in a yarn store and I see a crocheter carefully fingering a skein of yarn before she
buys. Im not sure anyone who hasnt been
blind can truly appreciate just how much
beauty appears when eyesight is lost. Its
partially a matter of the other senses being enhanced, but its even more about
what suddenly loses importance. When
I was blind, the color and fancy embellishments on a garment no longer mattered to meinstead it was the hand of
the fabric, the sound of fibers creaking as
I pulled a sweater over my head, and the
scent of the cotton and laundry soap that
made what I crocheted beautiful. Consequently, it became those things, not the

Gauge is not critical as long as it is

consistent throughout the project. The sts
will look loose, as though the hook is
too big, but will be fine when felted.
PATTERN NOTE S
When changing colors (see

Stitch Guide), always change in
last stitch made.
On rows that you frequently change
colors, carry yarn not in use loosely
across back of work, loose enough
to fit 1 finger between the Rug and
yarn. These ends will be removed
later in the felting process.

FELTING
1. Felting is done using hot water, high
agitation and soap. Adding a couple
pairs of jeans or several old towels helps

the felting to progress. Use a gentle
soap or even a mild shampoo.
2. On the first washer cycle, set machine
for hot water with a cold rinse and a
short cycle.
3. After the first washer cycle is complete,
remove the Rug. Using a pair of scissors,
snip the center of the carried yarn across
the back. Snipping this yarn prevents
them from felting too tightly and puckering the Rug. Do not snip them off at
this time, as it can cause holes. Just snip
the center and leave the ends there.
4. Set the 2nd washer cycle for hot water, cold rinse, long cycle. Take the Rug
out and decide if it is felted enough for
your taste. If so, stop washing it and
continue to the blocking on step 6.
5. For the 3rd washer cycle, rep the same
as 2nd cycle. The Rug shown with this
pattern is fully felted and went through
3 washer cycles. It is normal for there to
be a slight ripple on the edge. This gets
stretched out during blocking.
6. To prepare for blocking after the final
washing, trim any little ends from the
snipped yarn or other yarn ends. Then
pin the Rug to a padded surface, placing
pins about every 3 to 4 inches, stretching and re-pinning until the corners are
straight and everything is even. All to
dry for 2 to 3 days before unpinning.
7. If you prefer a straight Fringe, the lps
can be snipped after felting and allowed
to dry as straight Fringe. Cut the lps
after the piece is stretched and pinned,
but while it is still wet. C!

A new way of seeing

Continued from page 6 6
fashion of the design or the size of the

pattern, that made me feel beautiful when
I wore what I made.
As the months went on, I found
beauty in many unexpected places, like the
scent of chopped carrots, and the rattle
of my dogs tags against his collar. I was
moved to tears when I felt the sap-limbered touch of a branch on my cheek that
spring, but the first place I felt it was in the

texture of that simple wool yarn, and the
musical rhythm of my stitches. It would
be months before I could see the colors of
the new skeins my mother brought me,
but it didnt matter. Stitch by tiny stitch, I
was creating something beautiful and useful and warm. With each yarn over, I knew
time was passing, bringing me closer to
the day when I could appreciate the world

with my eyes once again.
Today Im capable of walking into a
store and picking out my own yarn. I usually
go for bright colors, brilliant shades of purple and green and blue, making up for lost
time. Even so, when the work is going well
and my hook slips magically from stitch to
stitch, I sometimes just close my eyes. C!

You All know how fun, relaxing
and inspiring it is to create a work of crocheted art.
But did you know that crochet is educational, too?
Its true. Everything you need to
know, you can learn from crochet.
First, crochet teaches essential decision-making skills. As you peruse the
myriad catalogs and craft stores, you learn
to narrow down the choices of patterns
and yarns you will need to complete them
and quickly assess the huge variety available. In time, your heightened awareness
of the process leads you to realize there is
only one real decision: BUY IT ALL!
Crochet also develops your multitasking skills. As you work a project, not only
are you concentrating on following the
pattern, but you are also thinking about
what you will do when you discover your
gauge is off, deciding which household
chore you will forgo to get in more stitching time, figuring how much youll have
to lie to your spouse about how much the
yarn and materials really cost, calculating how long youll work before you put
the project away to be forgotten forever,
and grabbing the ball of yarn from the evil
clutches of the cat again.
Organization and time-keeping will
be no problem for a crocheter. Many people struggle to remember appointments
or dates, but not the astute stitcher. When
friends and family members discover you

98
can crochet, they will constantly let you

know about all upcoming holidays and
events: Can you please make a hat for
Sues birthday? Say, how about crocheting one of those wonderful afghans for
Daves bar mitzvah?
You will also learn manners and
civility in a variety of social situations. For instance, when your local
yarn store is having a 50-percentoff

sale and there are only four skeins of
your favorite brand left, but there are
three other shoppers reaching for the
same brand, you may feel like saying
Theyre mine! All mine! Get away!
But instead, you will learn to say,
Theyre mine! All mine! Get away
please. C!
