Did you wear a snood?

[Tank Girl]

I wore one, it was very handy for hiding newly pierced ears and dodgy attempts at diy haircuts from my mum

 

[bluestreak]

if it's so nice and warm and practical, why did you stop wearing it?

 

[bluestreak]

not aimed at you tanky, but everyone who wore one but doesn't now.

 

[Tank Girl]

that's ok bluey, I don't wear one now, cos I'm not afraid of my mum these days

 

[oneflewover]

In engineering school we had to wear one if our hair came over our collars and was likely to get wrapped around moving machinery. They came in a very fetching boiler suit blue.

it was never truly *mine* - it was *the* snood. I don't know where it is now, it never belonged to anyone. It was a loner. It was green. My mum wore it a lot too...

God I miss that snood

Not quite Missy!


The horses that penni was working with, were real.

I not only wear them - I knit them!


Very useful if you have long hair and work with horses

However my son, 25 and a fashionista, wants me to knit him a black mohair one!

Do you have a pattern or is it just knitting a big tube on circulars?

It is not the tube type - it is a 1944 wooly hairnet job really - can probably find the link for you if you like.

The tube type are very easy to do , don't even need circular needles really. I find both types really useful, but I do live in a windy old place

Have worn them at festies too mind

I wear a snood. It's black cashmere, bought from a sample sale for a mere fiver. No way would I swop it for a scarf, it's too damn warm. No way does it look daft either.

I think I wanted a snood when they were around in the 80s. Never got one, though.

I did have a muff.

Lucky I was wearing my disposable, plastic foot-snoods (loose leg-warmers surely? ) today eh?

No I think you have to have sex first...and then the sperm meets the egg ....and then, once they're born, they either express an interest, or they don't (mine has a deep love of tube/train/bus maps that overrides any interest* he might have in clothes so far ((((the small boy in the future ))))) ).














*He does quite like sweets too.

hopefully you've still got that

Nothing but filth and smut!!

[subversplat]

They were. Why does something so useful that kept you warm go out of fashion.

They'll be back one year.

I've seen people wearing leg warmers, so snoods will make a comeback one day

Snoods did attempt a comeback a couple of years ago (my girlfriend at the time was an avid reader of Dazed and Confused and all that stuff and there were models wearing them) but thankfully all right-thinking people took one look and said "WTF?" then promptly didn't buy any.

Aged 14 I once went out wearing one on me head and one round my bum because snoods totally rocked Norwich at the time.

but my son is a fashion stylist by profession and he reckons they're are poised for a return.

but maybe only for those who think they are so cool they hardly breathe, and people like me who never stopped wearing them.
