Anyone with children knows that as soon as you get them dressed to play in the snow, they are banging at the back door like some cute, two-legged boomerang. Mostly I am returning gloves to cold fingers or tucking sleeves in to cover up cold wrists. After a particularly lazy morning, wanting more time with my coffee and Pinterest, I took matters into my own hands!
I know you can purchase extra-long gloves in catalogs, but since that would only help me $25 and 3-5 days later, I got straight to work. I whipped up a pair of my own whilst the offending child was dressed and waiting at the back door.

| Cut the top off an adult sized sock. Save the bottom for dusting.....good times! |

 |
| Turn the top inside-out. | |
 |
| Slide the inverted top over so that the cut end lines up with the cuff of the mitten. | |

| Sew the sock to the cuff of the mitten. |
 |
| Turn the sock right-side out. |

| Voila! Extra-Long Mittens! Snow Fabulous! |

With the little one back outside, I warmed my coffee for the 10th time, parked in front of Pinterest and knock-knock-knock......"I've gotta go to the bathroom."
Go Ahead, Make Childhood Magical!
