Odd gloves and worn-out scarves are discarded from the Pennant Shop collection because they are of no use to the public who need them. I took these discarded items; unraveling one white, blue and cream hat, one red and a multi colored scarf. Tying these pieces of yarn together I reused the unwanted materials by crocheting them to form a scarf. I will put the scarf back in the pennant shop, making a new item that is useable.

The Pennant shop collects and distributes clothing to students in the Grand Rapids Public Schools. Anyone with needs can take for free any item from the Shop located in the West Middle School complex. "Pennant" in the name refers to the display of school pennants from each of the schools in the Grand Rapids Public School Corporation.
