How about a pair of handmade quiet, dressy socks with a little shout of color along the outer side of the leg?

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

These socks are great all by themselves or as a complement to our Max Color Point tie and pocket square. The triangular color point is repeated on the outer leg and echoed in textured knitting on the inner side of the leg. So, if you like knitting socks enjoy knitting this discreet design that’s not really all that shy.

"It is hard to make a mistake with our unique complimentary Row Checker. It helps you keep track of stitch count row-by-row for each section of the pattern, plus all increase and decrease shaping. With check off boxes for each row you can put this project aside for a week, a month or a year and return to the exact spot where you stopped."

This tie may look like you accidentally dipped it into a bucket of brightly colored paint because that’s the idea. 

Designer Knitting Pattern
It’s a simple pattern that creates a fun fashion statement. Max is knitted in garter stitch at a tight tension. Evenly spaced decreases are in the middle of select rows to provide clean edges—the decreases are virtually invisible. And as a bonus a pocket square pattern is included. So when wearing a jacket this tie can be paired with a complementary splash of color in the breast pocket.

I’ve resisted yarns with polyester…until now.

When I was introduced to Popcycle, HiKoo’s blend of 50% recycled plastic bottles and 50% bamboo, I was amazed. It is exceptionally soft with a wonderful hand, yet cool and extremely strong. It looks beautiful due to a subtle tweed effect that is the result of each fiber taking the color differently when dyed. But the best part is there are 2 plastic bottles in each hank of yarn. A study in 2016 showed that Americans consumed 50 billion plastic bottles and only recycled 23%. Just one million plastic bottles recycled saves 250 barrels of oil and eliminates 180 metric tons of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere. So, knitting with this sturdy, soft, cool, beautiful fingering weight yarn feels good in more ways than one.
