We keep our home pretty cool during the winter. Since I work out of the house all day[1], I’m frequently bundled up with a hat and stuff. The one thing I can’t really cover well has been my hands. I needs to type. It’s what I do. To combat my whining about my cold hands, my wife threw together[2] these somewhat fingerless mittens. It’s not clear in the picture, but there’s a hole for the pinky as well as the thumb. The first beta was more of a flap with a thumb hole. That didn’t really help much. The v1.0 model (pictured) is great. Having it loosely wrap around my fingers worked really well. I can type just as well with these on as with off.

My wife seems to really enjoy making stuff. If you want a pair of these custom made fingerless mitten thingys, send me an email @ bcooke@roobasoft.com.
