It's very lovely, but would only snood a jam jar top!
It might make a good gift, along with a tea cozy lol

Yes, she does! I won a green flowered one in a cheesecake contest. It's gorgeous. Thanks for reminding me, I'll wear it out with my beaufriend this week.decodoll said:The Diva Pinup does really cute flowered snoods with orchids attached.
I've inherited a few late 40s dresses with metallic thread and also a bolero with metallic lace and huge brass buttons. It was a post-war fad from what my Mother tells me. She should know, she was there!Caledonia said:I have a fantastic medium to dark green thread/twine interlaced with gold. Would a 40s gal thinking Christmas or some such have used that for a festive touch?
Tourbillion said:Yay! Thanks for the lead on the snood pattern. I thought I was going to have to learn to make netting for a while there.
Though I suppose that (making nets) could be a useful skill, if I am ever stranded on a desert island, I could make nets and catch fish to survive.
I do the exct same thing.Fleur De Guerre said:I just kind of hold all my hair in one hand and use the other one to pull the snood over it all. Then I tuck the straggly bits in and bobby pin it to my head. My hair fills it ok uncurled, but it probably looks best when it's been at least slightly curled. Mine *are* elasticated though, so my advice is probably no help at all!
