Above Hole-y-ness

While we are not far off the topic of uses for old sweaters and in particular---holes in sweaters, take a look at Design*Sponge for a sweet solution to holes in sweaters that you intend to keep wearing:  Design*Sponge DIY Heart on Your Sleeve.    Thanks to Grace.  She has even included a short video clip to show you the process.

Blanket from Old Cashmere Sweaters - Part I

I've started making a throw blanket from my old cashmere sweaters that acquired moth holes.  There are some pretty simple instructions on how to make your own blanket from old sweaters here:  GardenWeb.
Above photo:  My cut and numbered strips in a palette of neutrals:  grey, taupe and black.
I will post a photo of my own throw blanket after it is complete.  See completed blanket in Part II - here.

I like the look of the blanket below, which was made by "JV" author of  the blog New Purpose 
Thinking differently about style, and the next phase of our lives.
