Really, one glove is as useless as no glove* (unless you are a crazed, egomaniacal, regressed pop-star). Keep the dag-nabbers together for crying out loud. Magnet in each cuff... just don't carry your credit card up your sleeve.
* pair four and counting

[k_sra}, just coat your hands in glue and dip them in shredded fleece. |
|
| |
Shredded fleece? And I'm supposed to have a vat lying around? |
|
| |
<note to self> Not everyone has vats of fleece. Also stockpiles of dryer lint are rare</note to self> |
|
| |
No, even on a bulletin board I can't say it+ |
|

"pair four and counting"
If you're only losing one of each, then surely you have 2 pair remaining? Or do you always lose the left one? Oops, now I get it. You're a woman. You probably think that paired articles of clothing like gloves (or socks) need to match in order to be worn at the same time.
;-) |
|
| |
Sometimes I lose one, sometimes both. It's in the averages...Umbrellas are another big money drain. |
|
| |
I've simply given up on umbrellas. It's just water. |
|
| |
[k_sra] Sounds like you need magnets on the umbrella, scarf, handbag... |
|
| |
[tsuka], you've hit on it precisely. I've been planning it for weeks. Crochet a long strand a little longer than my arms and thread it through my coat sleeves. |
|
| |
Surgically attach a leather coating to your hands. |
|
| |
tsuka -- RFIDs, baby. track every glove & sock. Doug Adams sure missed that one :) |
|
| |
I especially want to use 'em to open the freezer without using my fingers. Just because. |
|
| |
(watches [dijon] using glove love power to climb up a metal light pole, just because) |
|

//Also stockpiles of dryer lint are rare</note to self>//
Not in this house, dave.
How about velcro, [k_sra]? |
|
| |
[lint], Not as streamline. (read: pretty) |
|
| |
Actually, [DrCurry] came up with a velcro glove idea which was meant to seal the gap between glove and sleeve. |
|
| |
but if you lose them, you lose them both. |
|
| |
Buy yourself the most expensive gloves you can find. Try to spend a few hundred on them. |
|
| |
Guaranteed you'll be damn careful not to lose one of those. |
|
| |
(This also works for umbrellas.) |
|
| |
//Or buy a few hundred pair of cheap gloves and not give a shit.// |
|
| |
that is more of a "me" thing to do. I wouldn't buy them all at once, but if I lose one then I just have a good reason to go buy me another pair of cute cheap gloves. ;) |
|
| |
Glove Love? I thought you were thinkin' along the lines of _Yellow Submarine_. |
|
| |
+ For the name. Now please figure out how to implement this for socks such that each sock sticks to its mate, but not other socks. |
|
| |
Yarn connecting them running up each pant leg? You'll have to put your socks on before your pants. |
|
| |
That might get a little iffy in the crotch, [World]. But thank you for the laugh. |
|
| |
I buy gloves by the box of 100, and they are ambidextrous.
Just thought I would share. |
