You do not need to stay for the entire hour and a half. You just need to be there in order to learn how to make the blankets. Yes, even if you've learned in previous semesters. Remember, you need 2 pieces of fleece and a pair of scissors. (Walmart sells sets of really cute patterns for $13, and the pieces of fleece are exactly the right size) If you can't get to any place that sells fleece, give Nina Shepard $13 to have the fleece bought for you. YOU MUST ATTEND 1 BLANKET MAKING MEETING IN ORDER TO RECEIVE ANY CREDIT FOR TURNING IN BLANKETS.
