Second attempt. I dropped down to needle size four, cast on six stitches instead of eight, and switched to Cascade 220 worsted weight yarn. I really like how these turned out.

Nice, love color. I think even I could learn/remember how to do those! I didn't much enjoy knitting.

I think I'll try some tomorrow...

Those look real nice. Now, you can have garters in any color you desire! (Or at least any color at the yarn store)

A nice example of ties. Garter ties are easy to knit. I've made several pairs in different colors. Usually I augment to fringe a bit to make it fuller.

I go back and forth on the fringe, so to speak. Unraveling strands makes it fuller but go too far and it can get bushy.

Nice job on the ties! But careful, knitting can be like kilts. . . soon you'll be looking at hose patterns and thinking, "I can do that!"
