Warm Up America! Begins
Description
Warm Up America! is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization made up of volunteers across the country who knit and crochet handmade afghans for those in need. Help us as we create afghans to donate to the Mothers Trust Foundation to give to children in Lake County. The sections can be made at the library during Wool Gatherers or at home. Drop homemade sections in the basket located near the old entrance anytime the library is open.

*Medium-weight/worsted ACRYLIC yarn.
*4 mm/G-6 crochet hook OR 4.5mm/7 knitting needles
Patterns and directions are available at the Circulation Desk.
