Glove Love

My darling bought himself some cheap gloves for keeping his hands warm on the chilly ride to and from work. And being cheap gloves, they started to come apart. I thought I could darn them up but by the time I got to them, they’d unravelled quite badly.

Now I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to fixing the finger tip of a glove which has a big hole in it. So I just made it up as I went along. I folded a small piece of calico in half and stuck it in the glove. The I did some kind of random stitch around the hole, ensuring I tied down all the ravely bits. Then I turned it inside out and did the same thing around the edge of the calico. And I had a bit of thread left, so I added a bit of sweetness.

This is an ultimate hack job, but one I think turned out really well!

    In French we say about someone really nice and generous : “his heart is on his hand”, do you say that, too ? Well here, it is on the finger… ;o)

    I don’t think we have a saying like that, but reckon we should!
