Mitten Magnets

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.
-- oneoffdave, Jan 28 2004


Shredded fleece? And I'm supposed to have a vat lying around?
-- k_sra, Jan 28 2004


<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.
-- k_sra, Jan 28 2004


I've simply given up on umbrellas. It's just water.
-- theircompetitor, Jan 28 2004


[k_sra] Sounds like you need magnets on the umbrella, scarf, handbag...
-- FarmerJohn, Jan 28 2004


[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.
-- k_sra, Jan 28 2004


Surgically attach a leather coating to your hands.
-- Detly, Jan 28 2004


tsuka -- RFIDs, baby. track every glove & sock. Doug Adams sure missed that one :)
-- theircompetitor, Jan 28 2004


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]?
-- lintkeeper2, Jan 28 2004


[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.
-- k_sra, Jan 28 2004


but if you lose them, you lose them both.
-- y4, Jan 28 2004


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.)
-- waugsqueke, Jan 28 2004


//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_.
-- spacecadet, Jan 28 2004


+ 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.
-- AO, Jan 30 2004


Yarn connecting them running up each pant leg? You'll have to put your socks on before your pants.
-- Worldgineer, Jan 30 2004


That might get a little iffy in the crotch, [World]. But thank you for the laugh.
-- k_sra, Jan 30 2004


I buy gloves by the box of 100, and they are ambidextrous. Just thought I would share.
