Great tutorial! What a fun repurposing project!
Those socks look familiar 🙂 I may have to cut up my sock monster to make the striped one. Your hands look nice and toasty this is the perfect solution to my cold hand problems…ha!

I love you! Over half a lifetime ago I had two fingers amputated, and have therefore had to wear mittens rather thab gloves ever since ( except one much loved pair of gloves that my lovely m-I-l knitted for me) now I can make my own! Thank you xxxx
I am thrilled that this post is so useful for you, Benta! I love you too 🙂
awsome way to dress up some cool looking old socks and make a fashion statement as well
