So far I have 50-odd mittens made from old sweaters. These are for a retreat for women with cancer. The retreat usually is in the fall; this year is in July! Woolen mittens in July?? Oh well. I think the ladies will be pleased.
I put tags on them with washing instructions, sizes, etc. And then I just began naming them. It's very corny but I'm having fun. Here's The Pomeranian And here is The Newspaper: Black & White & Read (Red) All Over (remember that joke when we were kids?) These are The Nordic: And here is Cashmere Cat, they are cashmere inside & out, very soft.
Cayuga, that is so sweet, generous, and artistic! Love the look of your mittens, and I bet they feel even better.
You're a good person! I like all the mittens, and am pleased you have Selbu-pattern-ish mittens there as well. Love the name-idea. The ability of finding some fun in everyday chores is a gift! Must admit I looked for Bernie-mittens, lol.
What a wonderful project…and the mittens are really quite attractive. But I will tell you—the idea to name them is inspired. Inspired ánd amusing. You are a clever cloggs. The name, “the Pomeranian”, makes me think of the sea shanty, “Don’t Forget The Pomeranian”.
?? Don't know that one Sjoerd. I'll Google it. (Pause) Well, I struck out. This is the Pomeranian I was talking about, above. Looks like my mitten eh? Oh, and thanks!! It's been fun making & naming them.
Cayuga Morning, What a splendid thing to do. The idea is grand, the product is beautiful. I love all of it. Makes me wonder how the heck you made them out of old sweaters.
These are truely lovely. You are so talented, and such a thoughtful way to share your talent. Very wonderful. Just beautiful Cayuga, you the person, the gesture...as well as the mittens.
That Pomeranian shanty I saw on “Escape To The Country”, series 20, episode 1. Shanties are sung here in the harbour from time to time, but I have never heard that one. You are right—those mittens do look like the foto of that feisty little Pomeranian. Mel said it all, didn’t she.
@waretrop I can send you the pattern if you want. Old wool & cashmere sweaters are best. Acrylics aren't so warm & pill more.
Thank you very much....How sweet..i don't do such crafts..i used to get patterns and make my mom do them..lol
