Why Mittened Hands?

The expression was found in the book “A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian” written by Marina Lewycka. As a Norwegian I’m used to long, snowy and cold winters, and mittens are without a doubt a necessity. I had never heard this expression in english before and I have carried it with me since I first read it back in 2009. I thought that the expression was an excellent band name, but since I never managed to form a band I had to use it somewhere else. As some of you know it’s quite hard to do things properly wearing mittens….

  1. Loved that book!
    This past winter I discovered that gloves with “texting dots” for touch-screens can work quite well when operating a camera.

    PS: I’ve tried using a camera with ordinary gloves on, with fingers, that wasn’t easy either! Cheers!

  15. Hello Mitten Hands..
    Just want to say thank you for visiting my WP blog recently.
    For some reason, it’s been a bit of a challenge to get into writing a recent blog post.
    I’ve been more visually minded these days than writing out thoughts about a particular experience.
    I should have something to post by March or sooner.

  16. Excellent photography and a really stunning blog. I just wanted
    to thank you kindly for visiting and liking my own.
    I shall be returning soon to review more.
    Regards
    Bob

  21. Hello Petter,
    I like your art of photography very much. The processing of the gray tones convinces me and I find them very sensitive. And a great name for your site. Outstanding.
    Greetings .. Bernd
