No Glove Left Behind: Reduce waste while increasing happiness one glove at a time
Ever lost one of your gloves? Don't throw the other one away! Email me a photo of it. Tell me its size, whether it is left or right, and your location (city and ‘hood). If you wish, write a little story about acquiring or losing it. I will post it here. It will be either an identical or creative partner to someone else's single glove. When there is a match, you can reduce waste and increase happiness by giving your spare glove to another - or by being on the receiving end.

It's not even December, and you've lost one half of a pair of gloves already?!?
Fret not! Go through this blog to see if there's one similar to the one you lost, and we'll send it to you. Or would you rather give your remaining glove to someone else rather than (sigh) trash it? Send a photograph and a bit of information (size, left or right?, material), and we'll post it. Your single glove will not remain single for long, (Not that there's anything wrong with being single, but y'know, in the glove world, co-operation is of the essence.)

The following five gloves are new. They were found in a large donation by Winners to a charity. When the donation items were sorted, these were found partnerless!

As winter comes to an end in the Northern hemisphere, I am posting a few more gloves, all from Toronto. I doubt that anyone who is thinking of putting away their winter gear wants to think about gloves right now. I'm also sure that most lonely single gloves have either ended up in the trash, or are about to. Save them! Perhaps there is a match for them on this page. If not, send me a photo so someone else could pair up their lonely glove/mitten with it!

I looked this glove up online, and get the feeling it is discontinued, unless it's out of stock.

I bought this glove from Value Village a couple of years ago when a friend visiting from abroad wanted to see Value Village. It's not a colour I would have normally chosen (powder blue), but I fell in love with it because it went well with most of my coats (each of which has a strong colour). It's a thick fleece, and incredibly comfortable.

Since I don't have enough single gloves myself to get the ball rolling, I went to the place on my campus (I'm a student) where unclaimed single gloves eventually end up. I came home with a full bag of single gloves and laundered them. Today I'm putting up those that look that the ones many of us wear. On my next post, I'll put ones that stand out in a crowd. But I'm hoping that you will beat me to it and start sending me photos of your own single gloves!
SIZE GUIDE:
When there was no size tag on the glove, I used my own hands to measure.
Those are the sizes I put under the photos.
I am a female with fairly long fingers so an L for me might be a M or M/L for a man.
