After announcing last week that she had no more mittens to sell, second grade teacher Jen Ellis made time to knit three extra pairs. As of Thursday, the pair most like Bernie's had attracted bids of more than $5,000 with proceeds going to Outright Vermont -- a nonprofit that supports Vermont's LGBTQ+ youth. A royal blue pair are being auctioned on eBay for around $2,000 with proceeds going to dog rescue group Passion 4 Paws Vermont. Outright Vermont wrote on their auction site. "We're honored that Jen chose Outright Vermont as the recipient of these beloved mittens."
