A knitted item for the King of Regift. I think it was six or seven years ago that I made this for the Man. I got the idea when he cut an old sweater into the shape of a dickey. I thought it would be a good idea for someone who works in the building trades to not have a long dangling scarf on a work site. I think he didn't like the nomenclature of the garment. Even for a silly person, the word "Dickey" is a little off-putting. So, he rejected it, and I packed it away, maybe to show at a Guild meeting along with a funny Man story. It's from Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Around, done in practical Wool-Ease. While packing for the Big Move, I found it again. Re-gifted here.
I don't make many knitted items for the Man. He really doesn't appreciate it. Funny that my mate is like that. I should perhaps try knitting for my adorable nephews. They might like something.

Too funny. There is a town in Wisconsin named "Dickeyville" and I have to admit that I snicker every time I drive past and see the highway sign. I'll always have a juvenile sense of humor...
