Not for Knots.


Scanning through the men's section of the Interweave Knits website I came across this.  Doesn't he look cute in his fabulous knit neckties?  Were it not for the hair, I would swear the photos were from the mid 1980's. I confess, I did own several of these....when I was 16 -- and that was 1985.  Seriously?  Knit ties?  With the price of the cashmere lace weight required compounded by the mind-numbing repetitive stitching it will take to produce a bulky strip of fabric that, in the end, will resemble a goiter even when knotted in a four-in-hand, I'd rather spend the extra bucks and head out to the nearest Versace boutique for a fine silk creation that stands up to a full Windsor.
