the stethoscozy



version 1.0

you asked for it so here it is. Mystery knitted object #197 from october 2006.
The perfect solution for those chilly nights in ICU. Version 1.0 is made out of merino wool which is really soft and warm and fuzzy but also hand wash only. And after the 50 millionith time it got sprayed with stinky bodily fluid I decided I needed something more machine wash friendly.

Thus was born The Stethoscozy 2.o


version2.0
Made out of a very machine washable cotton/bamboo (antimicrobial) blend, the newer version extends to cover the entire stethoscope including the ear bud thingies. It provides an excellent layer of protection against mastiff droolage, obnoxious bunny teeth and various other environmental grossness that you wouldn't want stuck in your ears.

Ah the stethocozy! nice idea.. though I seriously hope you wash that after every shift. Maybe you could have 5 or 6 of them, one for each workday and then wash them every week? Anyway, they are definitely stylish, and I recently learned that keeping your stethoscope against your warm neck makes the plastic harden and crack over time, so maybe this would be a solution for that.
