Knitted Ties : What is this craziness?

Whilst working a few days ago, a customer came and asked for a knitted tie pattern.

A knitted TIE pattern...

Now I thought that there was some strange patterns out there, knitted knickers and bikinis seem pretty weird, and some balaclava patterns make the wearer look rather odd as well. However, I have since done some research on this 'knitted tie' and it seems that it was very popular some time ago and is coming back. Not only that, but somebody is trying to sell one for over £1000 online...redonkulous.

So, my plan is, maybe I should make some up to sell? Or maybe even as a gift for Fathers Day to make up for all the socks at Christmas time.

And as far as selling goes, I'm actually thinking about making some creations up to sell on this blog, would anyone be interested in this? Not as a major thing, but, for when I decided to do a pattern that I can't give away or have no need for, and if you follow the creation of it, one of you might appreciate the end result :).


In other news, we've passed the 400 mark for views, which is shocking as I thought that no one would ever read this! Also sorry for the lack of posts, but the dreaded exam season has hit and I've been rather bogged down. Happy Knitting readers :)
