Milk Bag Mats

 In Ontario, milk is sold in  bags.

A bag like this holds three smaller bags that we put in pitchers.

(I mention this because visitors are sometimes surprised to see how we serve our milk!)

A while back, I heard that volunteers in the city recycle these milk bags by weaving and crocheting them into sleeping mats for disaster relief.

I began collecting milk bags for them until I had quite a few...

Then a few weeks ago, I delivered my hundreds of bags to the group that meets - once a month in a nearby church - to make them into mats.

Here are some of the mats they've made...

Maybe I'll have to join them sometime, just to see how it's done!
