and enjoy seeing what can be done with old items. But that looks like too much work for me. I suppose if I had a bunch of kids, or if I needed a lot of small gifts for people, I might feel differently...but I think that, personally, I would rather just pay the $25 (which sounds extreme for mittens to me, until I see what a pain in the butt they are to make).

Maybe I should clarify....I would rather pay under $10 for mittens, or $1 at the thrift shop, but they would not be so cute.
