The Snood question

Lolo at Lolocraft found an article about how popular snoods are becoming. She and several of her readers were astounded. I am actually intrigued, because these are kind of my new scarf idea, but untwisted and a little longer.

So Lolo and I emailed about it a bit last night with some ideas on how to make this work. I made one, but it's really REALLY long. So I listed it on Etsy as something that you would wrap around your neck twice. It's seamless and serged with a rolled edge. I kind of like it!
What do you think? Pay no attention to the model... Just some woman I pulled in off the street.

So I'm going to experiment some more. I've got some soft wool that I think I could make this snood out of. Apparently this is going to be the accessory of the season, so I definitely want to stay on top of the trend!The following one is basically the same thing, just out of a silkier scarf fabric.
Hmmm... This could work, don't you think? Especially if you want your guy to look like Colin Farrell?

Tell me your thoughts!

I would definitely take a snood with Colin Farrell in it.

I've never heard of it, but I love it. It would so work for my kids too. We are forever losing scarfs because they aren't attached. Something around their neck would be perfect. Forge ahead my friend. I think you are onto something.

P.S. Will Colin be delivering them?

I saw an article about these! Some are also calling them circle scarves and they are pretty long. Good for you for jumping on the trend!

Hey McVal,
If I put one of these on my hubby, will he look as good as Colin Farrell?lol

Maybe I should just buy a Colin Farrell....

I hear snood I think 1940's head covering, not this thing.

Your twisted scarf thing is cool though.
I hope you sell oodles!!

That is a really nice picture of you and your snood. SNOOD ! What a funny word huh. Oh yeah, I'll take Colin and leave the snood behind if you don't mind.

I like it and the Colin Farrell photo...

McVal said...

People... people... I don't have any Colin Farrels available anymore. Fresh out!

KK said...

I think they are really cute. Of course, I'm a freak and can't stand anything around my neck...but for normal people they seem great!

Laufa said...

Curious, is it supposed to keep you warm or just look handsome?

Big Mama Cass said...

I think that I don't need anything else around my neck to make my neck look any thicker LOL
