Handy


I have been obsessed with fingerless gloves in all forms since my days in NYC, where I always needed fingers free to pull out a metrocard, dial my prehistoric cel phone or turn the pages of a book while waiting for the bus. They've come a long way from the hobo-esque ragwool version with the fingers cut off (although those work just fine too) and my latest obsession are the ones without any real fingers at all, save for the thumb. So toasty and practical, perfect for re-zipping a kid's jacket, fetching keys from a pocket or tying a shoe. I've seen wonderful styles in cashmere and wool on Etsy, and just found these fleece-lined babies in the Sundance catalog, which I love all the more because they come in black.
