Sadly, my dear Euphoria is nekked inside a plastic bag (the very
thought!!). There she is likely to stay until I need the next costume
piece. And she'll need a retrofit to fit me!
Printing museum is the International Printing Museum in Carson, CA (www.printmuseum.org
).
We don't "do" any particular period-- but we have a couple of re-
enactors/aka actors who portray Dickens, Franklin, and Jeffereson.
I have one apron which I designed to wear with historic clothing, but
for the most part, when I volunteer, it's _not_ a historical day, just
a regular volunteer day which involves sorting type, printing, or
crawling around looking for machine serial numbers. Or just dusting!
I have to miss this year's Christmas event (Dickens), because I will
be 300 miles north with my printing guild up there. Too many events,
and I've yet to clone myself <sigh>.
Now, if I could just FIND my corset. . . it gets so little use these
past few years.

Yes, that's exactly what I need them for, computing in a cold room.
Tipless gloves? :-)
I'm sure we could wear regular gloves, but then our fingers might
slide and cause (more) typos. Considering the gloves I find often
are too short in the finger, cutting off the very tip would still
fit down more on the hand.
I suppose there are mitts and fingerless mitts (with a hole that all
four fingers go through).
The printing museum sounds awesome! What era? Do you have a
collection of aprons to keep the ink off your clothes?

up and walk around the building just to get my blood circulating.
thank goodness for mittens/mitts/fingerless mittens, whatever we
call them!

Ann,
I don't think there's any differentiation in the "mitts" category.
Though
fingerless handwear in general seems to be mittens OR mitts. But
it all
depends on what century and what decade of the century.
Makes me want to take my mitts tomorrow to work at the printing
museum.
Sometimes equipment rooms are downright chilly, especially if they
don't
boast a Linotype in residence!

What is the item called when the fingers are also

but I'm thinking about making some that would only have an open
fingertip. I'm sure I could just adapt a glove pattern for that,

I'm just curious if there is a name for it.
I believe they are also "mitts," but not "fingerless."
