Hee hee - I've done that at least 3 or 4 times. I'm absolutely SHOCKED each time at how small they can get! I vote for the bulletproof mittens! I'll bet a strip of it sewn into a headband/earwarmer and blanket-stitched along the edges would be cute, too - hey - it could match the mittens!
XOXO, Libbie

Run it through again to give it a good tumble (for tightness) and then make some lovely lined mittens for Christmas gifts!
