Bernie s mittens are everywhere! The very same ones he wore last year at an event here in New Hampshire, according to this YouTube/9News/CNN report:
You may have seen the article that we have here on Shark1053.com that has a good collection of them, but this one, is by far, my favorite.

I saw this on Jimmy Dunn s Comedy Twitter account. How funny! If you drive through crowded Boston neighborhoods, or the surrounding cities/towns, you ll see lawn chairs all over the place saving the spaces for the residents who live there.
The mittens were handmade by a woman by the name of Jan Ellis, according to this report, a teacher at Westford Elementary School which is not far from Burlington, Vermont. Jan handmade them as a gift to Bernie. She didn t have any expectations of him wearing them at all, never-mind at the inauguration. Jan used to make them and sell them at craft fairs and was honored to see Bernie wearing them.

Sen. Bernie Sanders got plenty of internet attention for his inauguration outfit on Wednesday, sporting meme-worthy mittens made by a teacher in Vermont whose gift included a message.
Jen Ellis, who teaches second grade at Westford Elementary School in Westford, Vermont, used to make mittens and sell them at craft fairs. Her pair for Sanders, which she sent him over two years ago, came with a message for him to run for president again.
Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. pic.twitter.com/ErLr29lY2t Ruby Cramer (@rubycramer)
