Lanier, What about the gloves that hunters sometimes wear that have the fingertips open so the grip on the gun is secure. Cabelos sporting goods catalog has these gloves with a hinged mitten cap that can be velcro fastened open when the wearer needs the use of bare fingertips. Our daughter wore a pair of these for cold evenings as a flutist in marching band practices before performances at marching competitions or at football halftime. She kept her fingers warm under the mitten cap when other band sections were working on their parts and when she was playing, the cap was velcro fastened open so she could play her flute ungloved.

For daytime lounging around the house in the winter, I recommend a pair of cotton socks, to start, then a pair of L.L.Bean ragg wool socks in addition. Only trouble now is that my hands are always cold in the winter and even though I also have a pair of L.L.Bean ragg wool mittens, I can't see sitting around the house wearing mittens!
