Dilemma

ok, so... this is the first pair of fingerless with the flap gloves I ever made. They're made out of an expensive wool/silk blend. They're pretty lightweight and very soft. BUT, the thumbs are wearing out and they're feeling, well, worn, frankly. I don't have any more of this yarn. I haven't actually worn them in a year, since I've made myself other gloves. I ran across them last night and couldn't get rid of them. They have a strong emotional hold, even though I've moved on to new glove/mittens. Wondered if photographing them and writing about them would let me let them go. They really are sad looking. They gave me 3 good years of service. My babies!
