The finished tie, is presented to you tied.
I will be sending it off to Zach this week.
I loved this yarn. The tie will be great with a blue jean shirt or a black shirt.
I never paid attention to how long ties are...
They are over 50 inches long.
That's a lot of going round and round on little double points.
It was worth it. I am really happy with the outcome.

The pattern was from KNIT TWO TOGETHER by Tracy Ullman.
I may have to knit another tie for fireman.
The images don't show that the tie is one long rectangle with no pointy end.
The tie ends in a flat that is the same width as the rest of the tie.

I never thought I'd knit a tie
I never thought I'd even try
But try and knit a tie
and you may sigh
and never every buy
another kind of fabric tie.

Father's Day gifts anyone?
(Berocco Sox 1810 was the yarn I used. Someone put it in the swap box...who who who ??? I love it)

Heck with man-ties... it reminds me of the knit ties I sported in the early '80s. I might have to buy the book just so I can knit a tie.

Of course, I also have a belt to crochet and I haven't done that yet...

The tie looks great. I know someone who has been asking me to knit them a Clemson University tie for the longest so seeing yours I may finally give it a try.

What yarn did you use?

Nice! And you reminded me that I got some tie yarn a long time ago; wonder where it is? Although I love your yarn choice; Beroco Sox offers a great selection. Fuster is amazing!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
