Apparently I'm a trendsetter. Have you heard of the snood? A scarf / hood combination. Basically it is a circular scarf that can be looped around the neck multiple times and even used as a hood.
You can read a little about them here.
I didn't even know what a snood was. Last Thanksgiving, I made a snood. I didn't call it a snood. On my Ravelry page, I called it a neck tube. I never even took a picture of it. But it is my most favorite scarf and I wore it all last winter and have been wearing it this winter.
I knit mine out of some lovely Alpaca that I had got long ago at Maryland Sheep and Wool, so it is soft and super warm. I had cast on for it last Thanksgiving to have some mindless knitting while everyone else was busy cooking or watching football. My original intention was to have a cowl, but somehow I cast on a million stitches and knit round and round and round. So now I have a big long loop.
What random thing will I knit next that is ahead of the trend game.......
What? That's not a snood! Snoods are those things women covered their buns with in the 1940s. Like this.

I love these! I wish I would have seen this before I knit everyone hats and scarves for Christmas. I can just imagine skeins and skeins of hand painted yarn and having a different color for everyday of the week. Thanks for sharing!
