nice blanket

The cardigan front square IS the best!! It'll definitely be a cozy gift.

That's a great gift!

What a great idea!

What a lovely gift! And think of the memories that will are in those squares. I also like the cardigan front best, too.

I love love love your Toast and Toasty pattern. I gave them away to all my coworkers for Christmas, and I'm not giving a pair away during a contest on my blog! I'm a writer, and they're awesome to have on those cold days spent typing!

That is an awesome idea! I have seen some cute ones made with kids clothes that they grow out of. I think I might do that when I have kids to keep as a memory type blanket.

I love it! Did it feel weird to cut the sweaters? I just made a pair of pjs with vintage fabric and it gave me pause to cut it. Don't you just love that you can create gifts? It's a great feeling. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

It's gorgeous! what a great idea.

What a fantastic way to use up old sweaters. It looks so cozy!

How scary to make the first cut, right? It's a great idea and very pretty!

What a fab idea!

Stunning! Great way to avoid waste. If only I could sew!

how sweet is that?

so,so nice leslie!

What a beautiful idea!!!!!!!

That is awesome. I'm saving from now on. I do like the buttons. Merry Christmas!

So cool! I love this idea!

Wowza!! I JUST put aside a cashmere sweater with a teeny hole on the sleeve...thinking, "I could do something with this...." Now I know! Thanks for the inspiration!

Your sweater blanket is wonderful. When should I expect it in the mail. LOL!!

The receiver is one lucky person...

Have a wonderful and Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

She is going to be sooooo psyched, that is for sure. You are a great friend! And that is it: I am getting myself a sewing machine.

i'm still saving....

I've started saving...my mil just gave me a cashmere sweater that has some moth holes in it...didn't know what I was going to do with it, now I do! great idea Leslie...wonderful gift.

That is beautiful! I love it! What a great way to repurpose!

That's really cool!

Great idea! I don't have that kind of talent so I appreciate it when I see it. Lucky recipient!

gorgeous blanket! I'm off to check my closet..and the thrift stores...and anywhere else I can think of... I want one too! thanks for all the inspiration!

Oh my. It's so lovely and a wonderful gift. Christmas just makes more sense when there is thought and kindness in time and presence as in each square, each stitch of your hands.

Peace and love and a Merry Christmas to you!

xoxoxo...Ana

oh man, what I wouldn't do to snuggle up under that blankie. Wish I had some forlorn CASHMERE sweaters to dissect.

Fabulous gift! I would be so honored if someone gave me a gift of their time and creativity!

reduce , reuse, recycle
fantastic idea!!

Merry Christmas!!

great idea... I saw one made out of old tshirts. My husband cannot part with his 20 year old ones... I wanted one for myself too... hmmm time to dig in and find what's been hibernating. thanks for sharing, your ideas are soo wonderful and warm to the heart!

love both of these blankets...and cashmere must make a wonderful soft one. I made a t-shirt quilt for my son this year and want to make a blanket out of sweaters...one of these days!

Well, I think you already know how wonderful I think this project is. I can't wait to hear your friend's reaction. What a lovely gift.

Did you tack the pieced sweaters to the backing or just sew the back to the pieced fronts around the edge? Did you topstitch around the edge to keep the backing in place?

Wow! What a fabulous idea. Thanks so much for the idea.

what a wonderful way to repurpose some beautiful wool. Hope you had a wonderful holiday

oh I love this one! I saw your first ages ago and have started my own little stash of sweaters...lovely! -kb

Dead, freakin' brill!

This sweater blanket is so cool. Great idea.

This si beautiful!! Did you put any sort of interfacing or anything on the back or did you just cut and sew? I want to make one of these!

It was the most lovely gift to receive! My favorite by far! Probably because of all that love sewn in every stitch :) Thank you! Thank you!

ps so happy the cookie strips made the blog too!

ann... i did not tack the pieces anywhere to the backing. just sewed right sides together.... then turned right side out... then topstitched around the edges.
heather... i did not use any sort of interfacing....

so awesome!!!

you know, with the cardigan square, if you open the buttons, you may even be able to wear it as a poncho!
very good idea!

What a lovely idea! Hope you don't mind if I borrow it?

Wonderful photography on your blog, by the way...

What a brilliant idea!
Especially as I'm starting to have a sort out.
Looks like I might have another project!
Thanks for sharing this.
Kind Regards
