038 Muffatees

038 Muffatees
Object: Amy-made muffatees

Acquired: 2008

From: Made 'em myself, I did

Notes: These are wool and go up over my elbows. I put elastic in their tops so they don't fall down (one has a safety pin in it because the elastic is too big).  I call them muffatees rather than hand-warmers because just before I made my first pair a friend and I went to Old Sturbridge Village, which had an old-fashioned manikin wearing these fingerless glove-things that were labeled 'muffatees.'  That's actually where I got the idea to make the first pair--I only learned later that they were a current fashion trend called 'handwarmers,' 'fingerless gloves' or 'that's dumb.'
