not a snood

It's a common misbelief that a snood is equal to a circle scarf, a cowl, or an infinity scarf, or any other name for this:

A snood is actually "a type of headgear, historically by women over their long hair. In the most common form it resembles a close-fitting hood worn over the back of the head. The band covers the forehead or crown of the head, goes behind the ears and under the nape of the neck. A sack of sorts dangles from this band, covering and containing the fall of long hair gathered at the back of the head."

Clarified? Good. So, anyways, I'm a big fun of chunky cowls layered with lots of other textures. Spratters and Jayne is a new scarf line, making 100% handmade cowls, lapels, and tubes. Each style is gorgeous and the perfect accessory to get that layered look.

I love these so much that I'm actually knitting myself one! I hope it turns out well. If not, I'll rip it out and start over, just like always. :/ I'll keep you updated on my own handmade cowl!
