Just try it....

Took a cowl over for a friend. Asked her silver-haired, bike-riding, ultra marathon-running (100k) husband if he'd wear one - he just spluttered. **So I asked him to try it on** - within less than a minute **HE** was explaining to me in great technical detail why this was the perfect item for all of his outdoor pursuits. Honestly, much more practical for active guys than a scarf - **if only you can get them to try....** **For snow clearing**: it can be pulled up over the face **For wood-cutting**: no danger of it getting caught in the chainsaw Some of the guys like a closer-fit, so I added a tighter "guy" size. Sizes ladies might like are included too. **Many thanks to the testers (and their male models ☺):** spikeysandy knitgrl xstitch PaulineSpinks skyhooked wireknitter unitwo symonangel (with her own Gift of Grace handspun) [1]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-long-and-winding-row
