I heard that you can make wool mittens made from recycled sweaters and they have a really cool vintage look. Unfortunately, I don’t have any old sweaters and I don’t know how to knit or sew, but I’d really like to get some for myself and for some Christmas gifts for my "green" friends. Does anyone know where I can find someone who sells these recycled sweater mittens online?

I tried making mittens from an old sweater once and they turned out looking like potholders. I actually just found a website that sells really cool handmade sweater mittens – http://www.enjoymittens.com. I ordered some for Christmas presents too! The designs all either have a cool retro or vintage look to them and they look like really warm and comfy mittens too! Evidently the mittens are lined with fleece made from recycled plastic, which is a major bonus on the comfort and green side. Happy Christmas shopping!
