The second time he heard about the unique hebby was from a ' friend in Florida. • Mr. Miller took action on his desire by subscribing to . a magazine that focusses • almost exclusively - on macrame' lawn chairs. Be tried the string art on his own haand-found-there-was-rnuch-satisfoP- tion when the chair was completed. He also discovered the hobby wasn't, hampered .by his problem with arthritis. It took a lot of. time to learn he said, but he was,anxious to use different colors and patterns, • • 'Word got out about his colorful hobby and soon he was making them tcrerder. . Recently he made a chair with a Blue Jays pattern. He, took the emblem from a , book and figured the pattern out himself by " figuring out bow any rows and how many colors it would take before he could draw his own pattern. — Depending on thesost of the frame, arm • covers and balls of macrame cord, the chairs, range in price from $35 to160: Mr. Miller said he and his wife often travel to Lindsay,•New Hamburg or London just to get the necessary supplies. .

He guides the cord back to the -, cross bar that holds the chair from folding inwards and up -to the top of the, frame. At the top, Mr. Miller attaches the cord with' another crochet hook and continues this pro- cesses he "crochets" across.the grain of the cord. This layer of cord serves as a support for When the pattern is added and when peo- ple use the chair. The next step is to weave.the colors of the. pattern %through the vertical cords. Mr. . Miller ends a color and the completed chair by leaving a one foot "tail" which he weaves - into the fabric instead of burning or waxing • Me end.
