Warm Up America Afgan

During the month of August I finished joining the rectangles for the "Warm Up America" afgan to be donated to the police department. Several knitters and crocheters who come to the Mint Hill Library contributed donating their own creations. The afgan has both crocheted or knitted rectangles and each rectangle measures approximately 7" X 9". The rectangles were joined using chains: Chain 5, slip 1,. This method worked well since all the rectangles have a different gauge and are not precisely the same size. For the border I used single crochet all around and a picot edge.

I started a Warm-Up America group at the Harrisburg library. It's a relaxing time to get together. We donate our afghans to Cabarrus Crisis Ministries.

Hi j.p. Morgan. This is our first service project at the Mint Hill Library. We got a great response from our borrowers and had enough rectangles to make three afghans. I will try to post the picture of the one I joined.
