Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Pattern description from Son of Stitch ‘n Bitch: “I hate my office job. I hate your office job. That feeling f being confined by the yoke of corporate culture never lets up. I thumb my nose at the grindstone and I say why not knit a subversive tie for your boyfriend, thereby sidestepping the curse-of-the-boyfriend altogether! Neckties are one way men can express themselves in silly, obscure, and sometimes even lewd ways. made in unbusinesslike hemp, these hand-knit ties feature skull and robot motifs. You might even want to knit one at work under your desk; I did. (The trick is to have some paperwork open in front of you and a stool about knee high to place your yarn on!)”
