I Knit An Enid Snood: It's a Möbius Cowl!

When Enid of the Netflix series Wednesday proclaimed her obvious Möbius Cowl to be a Snood, I was a bit surprised. The cowl is cute though.
I decided to knit an Infinity Scarf of my own, as I've been spending far too much time crocheting.
And maybe casually looking into the whole Snood/Snood thing.

I agree that a cowl isn't a snood. I'm reminded of Inigo Montoya to Vizzini "you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means." But I don't want to be accused of being prescriptive so just call it Harold, words are just made up noises with no meaning 🙄

I'm a relatively new knitter. I was so proud of me when I said, "turn it over and knit." I was mesmerized by your method and see videos about it (levering) in the knitting playlist. Now I'm off to watch those.

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

As far as I know, I knit lever-style. For all I know it's a modified form of parlour knitting, but it gets the job done! 😁

I have always understood a snood its purpose was to contain your hair. Mobius is obvious to keep your neck warm to entirely different functions.

Oxford dictionary describes snood as: 1. an ornamental hairnet or fabric bag worn over the hair at the back of a woman's head. "her blonde hair was held in place by a velvet-mesh snood" 2. a wide ring of knitted material worn as a hood or scarf. But I still don’t understand using the term as a substitute for a cowl. They are so different in style and practice.

@AnidHarker 4 месяца назад

Alas we cannot fight against language evolution, it's always a lost cause regardless of one's rage and pet peeves. But at any rate I remember 10-ish years ago there was a big trend for this type of garment and I saw the terms snood and infinity scarf used totally interchangeably, and in fact that was my first exposure to the word snood, not being a native english speaker. I wouldn't encounter the earlier meaning of snood until years later when I started watching costube people and I was briefly very confused lol

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

I think I absorbed the term from my grandmothers when I was a kid as they were both working mothers who may have worn them. My Mum also had a thing for movies of the 40s and 50s. 😁

@LoveEntwined Месяц назад

I would have definitely turned the work inside out rather than purl as well. My conventional purls have awful tension compared to my knits, so if I need to do a purl round every few rows, I'll knit "back backwards" I think is how Patty Lyons put it.

@s.maskell7134 4 месяца назад

you could call It a snoorf. or not. Its a lovely colour accessory whatever name you designate for it.

@lenabreijer1311 4 месяца назад

I have been knitting a cat bordi mobius hat for years, and i always turn to avoid the purl rows. I treat it like a short row wrap and turn. I agree, a snood is a hair net or hair controller for working in a factory during WWII. It is not a cowl. A cowl will not keep your hair out of the machinery.

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

Great minds think alike (at least for the purling) 😁

@lauraseale8520 4 месяца назад

I was a kid in the 80s, I'm with Enid, a neck round scarf you can pull up as a hood ,= a snood

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

I was a kid in the 80s too, and a snood was definitely a decorative bit of hair netting. Must be regional 😁

I confess, watching you knit always make my head hurt. But whatever works for you the best! As a conventional continental knitter I don’t mind purling. Though I despise my cable needle. We all have our dark knitting secrets. 😉

@ildonoa3928 3 месяца назад

I ALSO always thought a snood was "fancy hairnet", but my aunt indoctrinated me into SCA culture at a young age (I was still in high school). Note to Period Nazis: Yes, I'm aware that the hairnets used in the medieval era are more correctly referred to as "cauls" or "coifs" - due to the finer mesh, the finer yarn and wearing of the hair garment closer to the hair. In common parlance, it is none-the-less referred to as a snood. To Maire: the Oxford Dictionary definition of snood makes more sense and the Online Etymology Dictionary indicates one of the primogenitors of the word snood is the Old English "snod" which is a hair ribbon. I definitely agree with your take on this on. I'm one of those continental knitters that doesn't mind purling, but I'm not evangelical. If you don't like it and you choose to avoid it whenever possible, go on with your bad self.

@suzanneschulte4539 4 месяца назад

So sorry about the purling slog. I remember thinking how clever you were to do you heel flaps 'backwards' so you decreased the amount of purling. But it never took with me, i think I only tried it once. Purling is no big deal over here.... Kitties are adorable, as usual.

@janisi9262 4 месяца назад

I will freely admit to yelling at the TV when Enid called her cowl a snood. I own and wear several snoods (mostly for renaissance faires) and kind of took it personally. Your cowl came out so nicely! The colours are very pretty and the joins aren't visible at all. Honestly that's a great way to avoid massive lengths of purling. I knit continental and have always hated purling, but I really want to knit myself a cardigan, so I spent some miserable time last year re-teaching myself to purl. It's easier and faster now, but I still don't like it.

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

@thedrinkinggames9573 4 месяца назад

I did the same thing, saying "That's not a snood!". (My husband was not impressed). Am I a middle aged woman now? Oh no. Also yay knitting! I've been knitting for almost 30 years now and I always go back to it, even though I've been dabbling in historical sewing for a few years. I don't find knitting or purling to be any different, but I know many people who hate purling so I don't think that you're alone with that opinion (can I pull your chain and just say that PURLING IS THE BEST EVER 😂 jk) Looks great 👍🏻 Edit to add: also, the sock disappearing into the laundry void was hilarious!

@linr8260 4 месяца назад

...is that a dramatic rendition of "cat! I'm a kittycat!" I spy in the outtakes, or am I just painfully millenial? Also, having seen cowls called snood in France for at least ten years now, I wonder if this is an instance of a word making its way abroad with a completely different meaning than the original (but the other way around this time) and then making its way back into English due to people from abroad using it in the International Crafting Space where most people end up speaking english regardless of origin. Either way, what a sparkly number, I love it.

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

I was doing a stretchy cast-off at that that point. As for my turn, I'd get to the last end-of-round, pull out my stitch marker, and thread the yarn around the next two or three stitches. So: Bring yarn forward, slip stitch, bring yarn to back, slip stitch, bring yarn forward, slip stitch, bring yarn to back. Turn. Slip first stitch (last stitch slipped), bring yarn to back, slip stitch, bring yarn forward, slip stitch, bring yarn to back. Put your marker back where it belongs and carry on knitting. It may help to pay attention to your stitch tension on the last few stitches before you remove the stitch marker. Hope that helps! 😃

I’ve been seeing more knitting and crochet pop up in my feed lately and it’s been so interesting to me seeing how people hold and move their hands while working. I learned crochet from my grandmother, so I hold my hands the way she does (and I assume how my nanny did and so on and so forth) but it is different from how I see other people doing it and I think it’s pretty cool how crafts pass from person to person in a way that you can see happen because of little things like that.

I still remember the frustration of accidentally twisting my stitches when joining while learning how to knit in the round. The thought of knitting an on purpose (or "by purpose" depending on your English dialect) mobius feels uncomfortable to me lol. I knit continental unless I'm doing colourwork and I still don't love purling.

@MaireColclough 4 месяца назад

Really, the only truly uncomfortable parts of knitting the möbius were the cast-on and the bulk once it got to a certain size. A longer cable on the needle might have fixed that, but it knit up OK, all things considered 😃
