Newcomer women in Winnipeg creating Bernie Sanders-inspired mittens

WINNIPEG --
It’s an image that took over social media last week: Bernie Sanders wearing mittens.
Now, a newcomer group in Winnipeg is helping Manitobans achieve the same cozy look. The Cutting Edge came up with the idea to create and sell mittens made from upcycled sweaters.
“It was a fun moment of laughter to see Bernie show up in different places,” said Anne-Lydie Bolay, operations director with The Cutting Edge.
“We thought that Winnipeg is a very cold place, and we need mittens just as much as everybody else.”
Bolay began working on a prototype last Friday. She said The Cutting Edge is working in collaboration with local thrift stores to source the right type of sweaters, including Thrive, SScope, and MCC.

Mittens similar to those Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders wore at last week's U.S. presidential inauguration are now for sale in Winnipeg, just in time for this week's extreme cold snap.
Newcomer women in the Cutting Edge program run through the Canadian Muslim Women's Institute are selling the cozy-looking mitts, which they're making from old sweaters from local thrift stores.
