Superfelted!

What the heck is that? Do you think it looks kind of like butterflies?

Ok, I am a tease. How about a better veiw?
Well, now you can see that it is a pair of mittens! Of course!

I have a thing for mittens. I really love to make them and since I live in a cold climate they really do come in handy. I guess it is the relative speed and the chance to do some fun patterns that appeals to me.  I have to show the rest because the cuffs are so pretty.

I made these using a vintage flea market sweater that I tossed into the washing machine on 40 degrees C. I made a rough pattern by tracing around my hand and then cut out the very thickly felted 100% wool from the sleeves of the sweater. I sewed it up on the machine and these are some of the warmest mittens in town!
