After we finished making the snow hat, I begged Missy to teach me to make a pair of warm winter mittens!
Follow these instructions and tips to stitch the perfect pair of mittens from a sweater! The only “trick” is to open your thumb a little (so that it’s not close to your other fingers) when chalking the line to stitch. This will make your new mittens more roomy and comfy! 
These mittens were easy as pie to stitch up! I want to make them in every color. Now I have another reason to collect sweaters! 
Practice makes perfect! Try sewing as many knitted pieces as you can. I loved making these and the stocking cap too. XO. elsie This sewing basics series was created in collaboration with Missy Creed of Momentum Fashion. Missy is a talented seamstress who sews for Red Velvet!
Hi Paul,What can I said.The moment I read this blog, I know this is great.The best part when i fiisnh reading your blogpost is this : I did this in one year, why can’t you?You are truly a uber affiliate.In fact, I admire your initiative of motivating people.More great things to come to you man.Keep it up.Cheers!
why can’t we do this in one year?we have no idea what the secrets are here that you’re takilng about for one.we don’t have your connections and partners either.where are you getting your traffic?what do you look for in offers?how do you test and decide on which one’s to scale?these are the things you might want to reveal.Without doing so, this is just an ego post
Dear Mary, As I walked tgurohh my house this morning I heard the wonderful sounds of water dripping from each of the beautiful ice sickles hanging over the eaves. As I listened closer I heard different sounds and rhythms. I put on my jacket, wool cap and mittens and went out to take pictures of the different shapes and lengths of the instruments hang there creating a new song. As I got closer the dripping began to hit my cap and yes I began to smell like the sheep that produced the wool for my handmade cap. When I came in I placed the cap on the radiator to dry. I know your Mother understands these things happen when one is exploring. Tell Josh to read The Mitten by Jan Brett you will love how one mitten keeps many animals warm. Talk soon. sue t.
HA! I saw that picture too and I thugoht almost the exact same thing (though I didn’t put it quite so eloquently in my own head it was more like what kinda baloney is this? Who lives like that, let alone creates something artistic like that. Then I went and ate an oreo or something because in my head I took it a step farther into the whole, I’ll never have a workspace that’s that tidy and therefore will never be crazy successful as an artist and I should really just hang it up now. Insane, I know, but there it is.)
closet is packed but yet I have nnotihg to wear nnotihg fits nnotihg is clean F K you clothes!! SEE, here I go again) and also of course ala L.A. in my car screaming or flipping off other stupid drivers doing stupid things (or going so slow when I am late that I ride their bumper til they get pissed and pull over or let me pass, which is what I want cuz I am late and of course, that isn’t MY fault or anything ) Or the item in my hand that won’t comply fast enough .BYAHHHHAAKKKKK!BAsically, what I am saying lady is I relate! LOLHugs!
My fav Hilary song is Holiday it an emotional song but it has a happy tone as well.My fav movie is metiraal girls it is about two sister going through a crisis of their father’s death.In the end they find out who their real friends are and most of all who they are. If I win the book it would be really nice if I had you sign it because you and Hilary did a great job at making it a best seller! Congrats to both of you. Also if I may add you most like heard this before from others but Hilary Duff is truly my role model.Thank you
The Cake Smash is brilliant you need to get these ideas out there, pelpoe would love them! You could even involve their pets!! lol! How fun would that be!!! lol!PS-I would totally let you borrow Tula and Brutus for an experiment, they are very good with babies .
Those should deeitinfly keep your mom’s hands warm! It’s a very lovely textured pattern. I’m sure it kept your interest up while you knit them.
heading straight up to the charity shop now… 🙂
So this is crazy but do you mind telling me more about your jacket? I’ve been trying to find one similar but nothing quite looks like it and then I stumbled onto this picture which is exactly what I’m looking for!
Making these today after popping down to the local thrift shop… so excited!
