Strange how times change when you are not looking. Knitted ties were very popular here in the UK, up until the 70s. Then "The Tie Rack" appeared everywhere and in the twinkling of an eye, silk ties were to be had for the asking. I cannot remember the last knitted tie I saw 'in the wild'.
I think I will bring this thread to my wife's attention.
As Chas said, knitted ties use to be the big thing. I may actually have a black or red one still around, but nothing that even comes close to what the good wife knitted for Mr. McElmurry!
