 Poster: A snowHead
|
I wear my old style dale jumper quite a lot at home when the cold sets in.
But on a recent outing of Christmas pressie buying I noticed lots of fairisle, Norweigen and other similar grotesquely weaved woolens, the sort of which I proudly wear, on sale !. Alongside these were a selection of garments adorned with Santa's, reindeer or snowmen, all of which I was told was this years in thing and the must have novelty present. The Christmas sweater !
So, the saying that if you wore it first time round you shouldn't wear it now, rings in my head and I wonder if I should hide the dale away until this fad passes, look like a sad old follower of fashion who still thinks hes in his 20 s or hold my head high and stroll down the high st knowing I'm a gnarly old skier from a bygone era and well ahead of the rag trade.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

We had Christmas jumper day at work last week. Mine is a dark blue 'fair isle' type with snowflakes and SKIERS on it…

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mine has a skiing Santa but he has no poles and is very much in the back seat.

How much do you care about what other people think? Come January, all the garish acrylic £12 Primarni jumpers with Christmas puddings on will be adorning charity shop windows, where as you'll be nice and warm for another 20 years in your Dale! It's a classic.
I have a fair isle Icelandic knit (not Christmassy, just traditional) and I suspect you'll have to tear it from my back in spring. I won't be giving it up for fashion.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The kids got Christmas jumpers earlier this month and have lived in them and had loads of positive comments on them. Me? I don't have a Christmas jumper, but I do have a nice genuine Norwegian design knit upstairs that I could press into service if I wanted to.

queen bodecia, +1... yes... I wish that too. I have too woolly jumpers, one St James shoulder buttoned and a patched woolly pully, I am kicking myself not to have opted for either or this morning.
