Provide a Bed for a Homeless Person - For NOTHING

Last year I ran out of yarn for crocheting and had to get really creative on what I was now going to use as yarn,  and I found on the internet women crocheting reusable grocery bags made from single use plastic grocery bags (Vons/Albertsons/Ralphs - the type you normally would throw away).

I myself have plenty of reusable grocery bags, so I needed to come up with something else I could crochet out of plastic bags and I decided I to do something for the homeless, so I designed a 3' x 6' bedroll crocheted out of grocery bags for the homeless to lay their sleeping bag on top of to provide insulation and padding in addition to being lightweight and quite durable. Patch was extremely kind to do a tutorial to show how easy it is to crochet these bedrolls for the homeless with detailed instructions:

This movement, "Crocheting Bedrolls For Homeless," is now going nationwide - my story was picked up by Associated Press and has been in newspapers across the United States, so far Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Washington DC.  I also teach a plastic crochet class at each of my monthly cleanups on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Seal Beach and at CSULB called "Chit Chat & Crochet".
