DIY: Mittens from Old Sweaters

November 3, 2013 by Linda Lanese

sweater mittens

This project comes from “Smart Homewares” where they are big fan of DIY. As we all know, getting stuck in to DIY projects around the home is smart, economical and creative… and if you have little ones it can certainly keep them entertained too!  Lana Winter is one of their featured writers and when she isn’t coaxing words into submission, she can be found hiking in the woods around her home in rural Quebec with her husband, or being a domestic eco-goddess in her vegetable garden, kitchen, or knitting corner.  She has a tutorial and pattern on how to up-cycle old felted wool sweater into mitten.  She has a pattern and instruction.  Today our little one did not have mittens in chilly Ohio and now I can make him some or many pairs; as you know kids sure loose them often enough; so having extras is a good idea.

    This road block is one commonly referred to as ‘dead notes’.
    Most people who have tried and failed to absorb a language the old-fashioned way will
    point to these very problems. If you are holding a very simple
    election to determine who will hold a single office or the outcome of a single, specific
    issue, you may wish to use this election ballot template.
