part three

before i begin talking about today's glove, i would like to share a little anecdote. this afternoon as i was coming home from running errands, i rounded the corner to my house and spotted something bright pink on the ground. since school just started at the elementary across the street, i thought perhaps a little girl had carelessly lost a glove while walking home!! i immediately pulled over, got out of the car, and hustled over to the object, crossing my fingers that it was a glove. alas, it was just some piece of colorful fabric. sorry, ribbon-like thing, you aren't a glove and so i won't be rescuing you. yet.

alrighty, now here's the final installment of the three-part post! sorry it took so long to get to this third glove. i got caught up in school and the cset, which i took last saturday (fingers crossed that i passed), but today i finally had time to work on this glove. to your left, you can see a lovely picture of my dad rescuing this glove from the middle of the road. it was absolutely black when i got it. i had washed it at the same time as the previous two gloves, but today i washed it twice more because it was absolutely saturated with something black. maybe grease or asphalt. it's definitely a hard-working glove. however, unlike the previous gardening glove, Wuncle Ugly, this glove had no holes to patch. yay! i stuffed and sewed and soon it was sitting upright, beaming at me.

so here you go, the dirtiest-looking glove yet...

Greasy Peterman!
