 This is another of my favorite pairs; I know, I have so many favorites! But I really do like these, they sort of remind me of a knitted ski mitten. I love the pattern on them.
This pair has turquoise hearts made out of a slightly knobby fabric, which adds some texture and color. The buttons also make these mittens one of the prettiest heart pairs.

 These are my mittens! They are lined with the same red wool as the hearts, and are extremely warm! I haven't found any buttons that I really like, but when I find some nice looking ones I will add them.

This sweater was 100% wool and shrunk a lot when we washed it! I didn't like them too much when I was making them, but after I added the cuffs they looked much nicer. They are lined with brown fleece.

 This is one of the pairs that match with just about everything, there is a slight blue tint which was enhanced by adding blue diamonds.

This is a basic pair, nothing added. If you look closely, you can see the woven pattern. The turquoise buttons give them just a little splash of color.

 I really like the dark purple and blue combination in this pair, along with the brown buttons. This one is slightly thinner(again more of a spring mitten) and is lined with black fleece.
I have to say that this pair is one of my top favorites! I believe the sweater was 100% wool and it is so soft. My sister also put the perfect buttons on them, metal flowers. They are lined with brown fleece.

We made 3 pairs out of this unique lambswool sweater, and everyone really likes them.
I think they are one of the best pairs we've ever made.

 This is the first pair we made, it's my sister's. She didn't use a wool sweater, but they still are very nice (not quite as warm as wool, more of a spring mitten).

 This is my Dad's favorite pair! He likes the contrast between the grey and green. This pair is lined with black fleece, we have also tried soft lambswool (which works great, but is harder to find).

I call these my 'Valentine's Day Mittens', they are also lined with black fleece and are super warm! I really like the buttons my sister picked out too.
