Just a thought, I saw a van the other day with a tow bar and ball on it, the owner had got hold of a bumble bee soft toy and unstitched the back of the toys head and put it over the the tow ball.
It look reall good and not doubt would make you notice the tow ball and hopefully not hit your shins on it.

Whatever happened to the good old tennis ball cut in half.
Amazing what you see isn't it.

The old tennis ball was great to keep you from getting grease on you if you walked by a little too close, but maybe the soft toy would also stop you from barking your shins on the damn thing if you do walk into it. I don't know how often i've done that over the last 40 or so years, but I can tell you it's too often cry

And that bus Ginger, I've seen some stuff like that. Has the secret yarn-bomber been to Kingaroy? biggrin

I use a knitted headband just to cover my ears. I really get earache from cold winds which were really bad in WA and SA when we toured there in 2011. I, like other women don't need a full head cover, but by keeping cold wind out of my ears is a great alterantive. It takes up no room and I can wear it under any hat,hoodie or raincoat for extra protection. The knitting is a close weave and natural wool is a winner for me.
