A quilt made from scraps -- what a novel idea... I really hate seeing people go buy big pieces of cotton to cut it into little pieces and then sew it back together.

I'm starting to imagine 'sock patterns' from sweater sleeves...now <i>that's </i> what I call <i>pathological</i>!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-59580949574903023832010-02-07T21:11:26.625+00:002010-02-07T21:11:26.625+00:00You may find that it is more expensive to knit cas...You may find that it is more expensive to knit cashmere socks than to buy them. I buy cashmere at thrifts and wear it in the house when it's cold.

Wore those outfits for a long time.
