11. True... The handwarming story behind Bernie Sanders's mittens

She cuts up wool sweaters that are no longer being used and sews them together in various combinations on a machine her mother gave her. She then lines them with fleece made of recycled plastic. Each pair takes about an hour.

15. wouldn't you just know

there's a back story to Bernie's mittens, and that the story involves a good cause.

I can't read at the Washington Post, donkees, so thanks for posting that and including the pic. They are indeed beautiful mittens!

17. I usually just do a 'copy all' as their pages load and paste it here to read :)

“When you are a maker of things, when you create things — art or clothes or whatever you make — you never know where they’re going to go. And the fact that these mittens were made with the sewing machine my mother gave me when I was 12 years old and with wool that somebody else had thrown away, and they made it all the way to one of the most historic inaugurations of my lifetime … ” she said, her voice trailing off. “It just delights me.”
