What kind of a word is "Snood"?

Forgive the pun but I just cannot get my head around the word "snood".  Surely there is a nicer word for these items than "snood"?  To be honest, I'm not sure I like "cowl" any better.

Looks white here, but is actually a lovely shade of pale silver grey.

Vocabulary aside, I think snoods are soooooo snuggly and cosy looking and that's what I was aiming for when just before Christmas I ordered some half price silver grey bamboo/wool mix.  I had great plans to create a beautiful, warm, softly draping snood while I sat with my family in festive bliss over the holidays.

Ummm, didn't quite work out that way and I'm doing my best to get back to it now so that said snood might have a chance of being worn before June, when I sincerely hope it will not be needed as I don sunglasses and factor 25 - livin' in hope, ladies!

Letting you in on a secret, I may also have spent a little Christmas money on some voile for an infinity scarf for my "spring wardrobe", but more on that when it arrives!!

  2. Beautiful S. I think you will have use of it this week. As for the factor 25, well my hubby always says the one sunny day IS summer in NI. Di x

  3. Lovely knitting and I've often debated the difference between a snood and a cowl.

  6. This wool looks so soft and snuggly! And the infinity scarf is somewhere on my to-list, probably June by the time I get around to one! Jxo

  8. That stitch looks like the one i used to crochet a shawl for my first born! Long ago now, but still a pretty pattern. In silver grey it will look really great. Get it done, love, you will be glad of it!
    I like the word snood. Undertones of Anglo Saxon, and a nice Strong word. But that is just me, so kindly ignore!

  9. Hmm. Snood is a bit snowboardy, cowl is a bit seventies. Both are weird words, I agree. Your....whatever we will call it.....is beautiful though!

  10. oh voile!! Snood! It is not an attractive word. I have a very wooly turquoise one when I was young. My mother in law has a white one that comes out every winter. I am sure this will be lovely! xx
