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.

Lots of Mittens!

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

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

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.
