They were a surprise because I forgot I made them last year. While I was looking for some yarn in my "yarn cupboard" last week I found this pair of mittens waiting to be felted. (Felting means to shrink something made of wool on purpose). I felted them to fit me, and here are pictures of how it works:
- Here are the mittens, really big, as you can see.
- You have to wash them in hot and cold water, back and forth, being kind of rough with them.
- At the sink, one hot, one cold. REALLY hot, and REALLY cold.
- Much smaller now, and a perfect fit for my hand. Sorry it's blurry, it was kind of hard to photograph. Very warm mittens!
