Before we leave for the day, Kali would like to let you know that she doesn’t need mittens, she was born with her own pretty ones. That said, she thinks it would be amazing if you stopped by to check out the 15 new upcycled mittens newly made by her favourite auntie.
Kali is a very smart and fashionable young woman who follows all the latest trends, and she’s convinced you’d look great in any of the 30 pairs available. While Kali heads off on a flight to Milan for a Dogue modeling gig, I’ll be right here to help you pick out the perfect mittens! ♻️

What a lovely day, even if it’s not as bright and sunny as Friday!
I’ve received quite a few questions about my mittens lately-especially from people wondering why I’m not currently at the Farmers’ Market. Because my products are seasonal, the market’s membership requirements (including a 30-week commitment) don’t always line up well with my busiest sales months, which are typically November through March. A casual membership is also an option, but it involves a one-time entry fee plus a weekly vendor fee of about $45–$50 for each week attended. Also there is some question if my product is too similar to other market products or using materials I did not “make” myself, such as the sweaters I felt to make the mittens.
For now, I’m seeing how the 2026 season unfolds and exploring which fairs and markets will work best or switching to online business. In the meantime, you still know where to find me and I’m making mittens daily. Winter isn’t over yet!
Have a great weekend, and see you soon.

Just finishing up some new upcycled mittens-cozy, warm, and perfect for whatever winter still has planned. 🧤
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says more snow is on the way (even if spring comes early!), so if you spot a pair you like, grab it before it’s gone. You can always save them for next years wonter seasons or tick them away for a godt foe next season.

Made from lambswool, pure wool, merino, and Shetland and linednwoth soft polr fleece.

All handmade with care using upcycled materials.
