WE are going to knit blankets, Jings when we get a round tuit. We are the ones who buy the odd balls in charity shops. I have two throws for the beds crocheted from leftover wool, plus various cushion covers.
I would make more but I am currently finishing off a Bargello rectangle to go with a finished one, and after that I have to do the third in the tryptich.
All from left-over tapestry wool from other things, of course, at least they started that way. I have added some skeins from the charity shop, some that DD2 bought for a project that never materialised and finally some bought from John Lewis (only a few, I do try to avoid buying any more)
