I am a big quilter, but got sidetracked with making wool mittens out of old wool sweaters I found at rummage sales and thrift shops. Thanks to all the wonderful members on the board that sent me buttons.

Love this idea! Did you use a pattern? Or dream up one on your own?

Those sure do look good and warm! That is a great idea!!

The mittens are beautiful!! Would you share your pattern? Or perhaps a tutorial?

that looks like a great project for the needy, and directions for these great heand warmers????

Awesome--a great idea!

There was an article in our Sun. paper just yesterday about area women who do this too. It was fun to read about this.

You are a wonderful knitter!! They are so nice!! :D

Ok thanks for showing the picture. I recently went with a friend to a thrift store and bought 2 sweaters. She is going to show me how to make these. I just could not visualize them. These are really beautiful. Hope the ones I try come out as good as yours.
