There's only one benefit to not feeling well. Actually... there are two: Unlimited amounts of ginger ale, and craft projects that take minimal amounts of effort. Every winter, I stock up on gloves (pronounced glüvs) because I seem to frequently misplace them. On Friday, I almost threw my pair of glüvs in the garbage at work. I blame this on being discombobulated, thanks to the never ending cold/flu I'm enduring.
Yesterday I decided that it was finally time to tailor the stock of glüvs that I have. Why, you may ask, do I have to tailor glüvs? Because, person that is asking the question, I only have 9 fingers. But, you probably already know me, so you already knew that. Here's how I fix the glüvs.

First, I turn the left glüv inside out. I sew a straight line from the index finger down to the base of the glüv, basically cutting off the thumb. This gets rid of the pesky extra digit. Next, I try the glüv on (inside out) and use a fabric safe pen to mark where my fingers hit on each digit. I sew a contoured line to the shape of my finger on each digit of the glüv, and snip off the extra fabric. I turn it right side out, and TA-DA! Custom pair of glüvs!! It's super easy, and I love having glüvs that fit properly. You may wonder why I don't just wear mittens to conveniently hide that fact that I have a small physical anomaly? I have two answers. 1: Mittens make my hands sweaty. 2: Why should I?
