Well, I had a tough time deciding whether to put this under my hobbies I do for me, or on the regular Bob blog!
Bob has no right hand/arm usage, but a good working left hand, and he's left handed
The thing is, he can leave the stroke hand in his sweatshirt sleeve or under his lap cover, but he likes to USE his good hand, and so when he's on the porch in marginal weather, his hand gets cold! Putting a glove on the good hand, would kinda render it useless for picking up his army men or legos that he likes to build scenes with..... so.... keeping it warm without taking it out of service was the goal. So these are called fingerless mitts - no fingers, no finger holes, just a thumb slot. By laying it on his leg he can just snake his hand in and out HIMSELF, as he needs it, all fingers still working. I also put a trinket on the front so he can immediately see which is the front, without looking for the thumbhole.
