Well, I got some wool felt at the Spring Fair a couple years ago and have been hanging onto it for just the right project. I have a jacket pattern that I'd really like to use it on. But I'm worried about ruining it with something so complicated. So I'm going to try these mittens first. 
The felt isn't fully felted so the first time I tried to sew it, it fell apart on me. So, now I'm working it in suds and bubble-wrap. This turned out to be somewhat hand-intensive. As a result, I'm going to have to do it in stages. I worked on this for about an hour and now am resting my hand, which still can't tolerate a lot of pressure, flexion, or extension. It'll probably not be mitten weather by the time they are done. But, hey, the fun is in the process...right? And most likely they'll go to Blackberry Patch for sale anyway.
