In fact, I am very excited to be back online and posting for Thursday Think Tank. I recently had a major lusting over a new idea of mine involving...
C-A-S-H-M-E-R-E
Hahahahhaaa blame it on the weather, the ridiculous snow/rain we've been having, or the fact that my favorite pair of cashmere sweatpants have a huge rent in them. Whatever the reason there it is. Yes, you read that right, cashmere sweatpants. Doesn't everyone have a pair??? Well you should.
Recycled Cashmere Blanket

What I DID find is this article by none other than Moonching Wu, the creator of Sun Moon Lake Goods! Hollah! The article instructs you how to create a Cashmere Patchwork Quilt...um, is anyone else as excited as I am? So of course now I am in a mad frenzy to collect old cashmere sweaters from friends and loved ones. I'm also thinking of popping into the local thrift shops...who knows I might get lucky.

Have an old cashmere sweater you'd like to donate to my cause? I'll happily trade you some fabric if you'd like!!!

Cashmere Hooded Scarf
Now come on...once I'm thinking of cashmere I couldn't just stop at one project. I've been in the middle of creating a few hooded scarves for friends and am close to finishing up a knitted Christmas gift. So it makes sense that knitting is the next connection when it comes to cashmere (said in sing songy voice).
What I want to use is THIS...

For me...not for him. I just couldn't help using this photo again! Hahahahhaaaa!
Any projects you can think of with cashmere? Do share...I'm in lust. If it is getting cold and snowy near you (no, I do not mean you Aussies obviously...) do wear something warm...cashmere perhaps?

Very interesting article. Lately I tried to felt a jumper and it was a disaster! But onwards and upwards:) I hope you get time to rest up and relax over Christmas and start feeling better soon. Take care, Janine x
mmmmm cashmere!! Wouldn't that be nice! Most of my clothes are polyester ;)
thanks for posting that picture again, hehehehe!
Rest, rest and more rest, maybe an apple and whatever else the doctor tells you! :)
Argh I pressed back on my browser and lost my comment. Grr! Anyhoo... will keep an eye out for cashmere (in singsong voice) for you. Hope you have a sick-free day for Christmas. Thinking of you. x
Ohhh, cashmere! Great idea! And how about some cashmere socks and fingerless gloves to wear while sewing?! Feel better soon xx
I hope it's nothing serious. Get better!
I imagine cashmere sweatpants would feel great but I don't even own a pair of regular sweatpants.
Hope you feel better soon. Maybe being waited on hand and foot would help :)
I love the idea of cashmere but since I don't always wear a jumper in winter not much point. I have been know to wear a scarf though. Do you think the hooded scarf would work in fabric?
I think that if I had a cashmere blanket I would never get off the couch! Probably best that I don't then, but it sounds like a fabulous idea. Good luck in the hunt and hope you are feeling tippytop soon!
That yarn looks absolutely lush! I just picked up some for my girlfriend, but it was only 50% cashmere, and that stuff looks like the real deal. So pricey though. I have dabbled with the idea of using alpaca more lately. The only thing is that the lightness is actually a bit of a turn-off, despite the warmth.
