Runny Nose Scarf

A friend of mine, Addie, broke her wrist. A year or two ago I gave Addie one of my Runny Nose Scarves. It is a crocheted scarf with a pocket at one end. I designed it for myself because when I go out in the cold my nose starts running and I have to run after a tissue to catch my nose! Usually the tissue is buried in my purse - and its just too cold to take off my mitten and do a search and rescue in my overloaded purse. What's the saying? Pracitcality is the mother of invention??? Anyway, I designed a scarf with a pocket at one end. I made the pocket a contrasting color so I didn't have to figure out which end of scarf had the pocket. In the pocket I put a few tissues, ready to grap when I had to catch my runny nose. It turned out to be the perfect solution. Quick and easy tissue. No more hunting, and no more (when no one was looking) wiping my nose on my sleeve. Yuk! But what's a lady to do...
Anyway, after Addie broke her wrist, she couldn't fit a glove very that hand -- but having an inventive, creative crocheter's mind -- she used the pocket to keep her ungloved hand warm!!!
