Knitting with Polar Fleece

I had pictures, but cannot figure out where they have gone, so I'll have to describe what I've done.
With number 15mm wooden needles I casted on 100 or so stitches using the polar fleece yarn I made.  I bought two metres of fabric and cut it into 1cm strips, sewing the strips together to make yarn for knitting.  A little labour intensive, but I think worth the effort.  

My plan is to go through my linen closet this winter and reuse all my old linens and towels to create new blankets and throw rugs.  I imagine flannel will look nice after its washed and the ends fray.  

Anyone else up to something fibre related right now?
