oh these are delightful Margie. Cashmere.....mmmmmm.....cozy.
It's great that you've made such beautiful blankets from 'old' jumpers.

All of these blankets are wonderful. What a fantastic source of cashmere you must have! How cozy all your family must be this winter. I hope you saved the special red cross blanket for yourself Dr Margie :)

Seen closer the one with the flower heads (chrysanthemums) is amazing!

Wonderful way to recycle old sweaters! It's a brand new life given to precious cashmere. I love your blog.

These look wonderfully soft and warm. When I am in stores, I always touch the cashmere sweaters. :) Imagine being wrapped in one.

I love your cashmere blankets - the thought of them, the gifting of them, and their designs! I just bought my almost-college-bound son another (his second) cashmere sweater (deeply discounted) -- I think having even a little cashmere in one's life makes for a feeling of LUXURY, don't you?
