Castoffs loved

I am such a sucker for old books. Books should never be thrown away. Ever. If they are worn beyond readability, their pages can be put to use in more crafts than I imagine. I am discovering that I have a weakness for other old things that should never be cast into the Goodwill bin -- except when, while Halloween shopping, I find beauties like this. I am calling it a scrap blanket. The colors are wild and fun and someone obviously loved the bits of leftover yarn that went into it. It is a perfect cuddle blanket for chilly mornings in our sunroom.

Here what happens when I try to take a picture around here. These babies were castoffs, too.
