MAKING SLEEPING MATS FOR THE HOMELESS
MLRT Circular Lounge Appropriate for ages 8 + This is a monumental task and we will try to tackle as much as possible! Help by folding and cutting collected plastic grocery bags. The bags will need to be trimmed and cut in half. Then they are knotted together in lengths to create the "plarn." This is then balled into skeins of "plarn” that will be crocheted to make the mats. Knowing how to crochet is a bonus but it is not necessary in order to participate. For questions please contact Laura Banchero. OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES
