They are quite time consuming and the hardest part is finding the wool to make them with. Then actually cutting them up after felting of course is so hard to do because they look so pretty. Some of the sweaters I felted I can wear and never made it to the cutting pile. LOL Many friends and loved ones are getting hand felted mittens this Christmas.
If you utube you can find this dude talking about how to do the mittens and I laughed all the way through it. Such a blast!!!
