all tied up

Despite my lofty ambitions and best intentions, I only managed one handmade gift this year: a new tie for G, knit in Rowan Cotton Glace using the Moss Stitch Tie pattern in Purls of Wisdom.

A quick knit, I finished the knitting and blocking in a single December weekend when G was out-of-town. Now just hoping its handmade nubbiness will fit in with the office's dress-down dress code...and, most of all, hoping G won't be too embarrassed by it!

    Very comfy tie. Every man (with a wife who knits) should have one :)

    Oooh, very nice, I shall not be letting my Technical Advisor see that or he will be complaining about how I never make him anything like that.
