As a knitter, I've heard the term before, as there have been many versions out there for us hand knitters. But it came as a surprise to me to see the snood highlighted in the WSJ and even in a recent issue of Lucky magazine as a fashion statement piece for the season. It came as an even greater surprise to learn that snoods were also known as hairnets in the 1940s. While some are renaming the snood as "infinity scarves" and "circle scarves", I kind of like the weird, Dr. Seuss-esque term --- makes it fun in an anti-fashion and nerdy sort of way.

There is something romantic yet practical about the snood. I like them and may have to knit one up this season.
I am a knitter long before I could sew and this looks like a quick project that would not hurt the wrists.........but I am just not sure about them......I need to see them a little more before I can jump on!
I never learned to knit, but I would love to have a snood next winter.
I just went shopping a snoods were everywhere! I am a beginner knitter so a snood would be great!
