Crochet Into the Light Afghan + Tutorial

The Crochet Into The Light Afghan by Jeanne Steinhilber was a much-needed stitching journey filled with light-bouncing textures.

Background Story:

The couple here from Nova Scotia is extremely fun. The husband here never had long hair, but Covid was hit with lockdowns. He made a pact that he would not cut his hair until the lockdowns were lifted. Lockdowns happened, I think, twice, maybe three times and masking restrictions lasted 18 months. He cut his hair after the masking limitation was lifted. He's cute either way.

My book was written and produced during Covid coming into being and this book was released before Covid restrictions were lifted.

Jeanne found herself trying to cope with emotions during this unprompted crochet design. It was never intended for the book, but when she showed us behind the scenes, we were gob-smacked by its intentional shadows.

As Jeanne designed and hooked herself through this afghan, a lot of time of thinking was placed into this blanket. It's a blanket she cherishes. This blanket was sent back to Jeanne to gift to a friend who helped her claw her way out of the dark and into the light.
