[Artemisia] Preserving My Hands

[L.J. Richards]

not only do they work, but the Historical Museum has a pair from the 1940s 
knitting out of an Army green colored fine wool in the kind of stitch you 
make for wrist cuffs (can't think of the name of it--you find it on 
sweatshirts these days).  The 'glove' is tube-shaped with an opening on the 
one side (where you stitch it closed) for the thumb.  Should come just over 
your knuckles (at the palm) and about 3" above your wrist.  I found another 
pair elsewhere and tried them out and found that the warmth helps as well. 
('Course I have since misplaced them!  Have also tried the ones you are 
talking about and they are great too.)
