So, for a few years now I've been making my own knitted garter ties. (They're really simple and involve nothing but the knit stitch. You can use almost any yarn and needles and you can chat or watch tv while you knit them.)

I finally posted the 'pattern' on Ravelry and on my blog.

I made some in Navy Blue and some in a Dark Sage Green since I'd completely run out. (The last load I made got worn almost daily for three years and after two pairs went missing the last pair finally wore out.)
I'm planning to make a maroon pair, a red pair, a yellow pair, a gray pair and a light blue pair.


Here are a few pictures. There's a video on the blog for the simplest way to tie them for anyone who doesn't know how and hasn't checked out Matt's video.
