The teacher who made the now-infamous and not-for-sale mittens worn by Sen. Bernie Sanders during President Joe Biden's inauguration is auctioning off three more pairs

A few years ago, Ellis, who teaches second grade, gave Sanders the patterned, hand-knit"smittens" -- part mittens, part sweater -- when he was on the campaign trail.

She didn't expect he'd start wearing them at high-profile events like the inauguration. The mittens are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles, she said in a tweet last year.

Who cares?

They weren't knitted, she sewed them from recycled old jumpers.

I have no qualms with teachers exceptionally skilled with their hands. It’s those that are apparently abusing prescription medication and then videotaping themselves performing some interpretive dance performance. It’s nothing more than optical terrorism. It’s not just the kids!

Infamous is the wrong word. Renowned, famous, iconic, notable -choose one of these,

Dude for the love of god there’s revolutionary stock market news right now and you’re writing article number 500 on Bernies fucking mittens

Good for her!

really appreciate Bernie’s sense of humor with his viral picture. 100% of sales from it going to feeding the poor and meals on wheels. So generous. Big difference from the orange monster who would relish on the profits as he did with the fundraising to fight the votes

Yeah, let's keep focusing on the real important stuff. We all knew after Biden took over the big media would go limp. Didn't expect they would go this limp.

Is it true a group from Reddit already have the bidding over $100K/pair?

China Virus. Your move Twitter.

What about his mask? Where can I get one of those? Social media jokes are spool funny
