Did I mention TW made me a really gorgeous alpaca scarf? She did. I love it (thank you @haldechick and Knit 1.)
Today, I was at Great Lakes getting gas and it was 9 degrees. Plus wind. And it is really really windy in the Great Lakes Naval Station area. As I was pumping the gas, and freezing my ass off, and thanking GOD and TOYOTA for making a car that gets such damn good gas mileage that I only need to put two or three gallons in thus standing in the cold for only a few minutes, I realized that I could wrap that really awesome scarf around my mouth and nose rather than leaving it wrapped around my neck (which was already covered by coat.)
One problem. I don’t know how to wrap a scarf properly around my mouth and nose.
I see people do it all of the time in movies and on TV. I’ve read books where people do this. I’ve even seen a few people up here in arctic Illinois do it. But when I tried it, the scarf just slipped down. I am scarf illiterate.
TW attempted to model scarf wearing. But, it just made me laugh. I think I need more help than TW can give me.
When you want to wrap around your face, start by putting the middle of the scarf across your face and then wrapping it around the back. Essentially the opposite of the way you normally put on a scarf.
that’s a hot look for TW ;P
What happened to the scarf with pockets? Is that it?
What Sassy Said. Start with the middle of the scarf at your mouth and nose, wrap around the back and crisscross the ends. If really cold you can wrap again in the front. I found that wrapping it before putting my coat on and then leaving the ends inside the coat seem to work the best.
It sure was cold yesterday, I am not looking forward to January this year.
