This is my entry #1 and #2 ...

I have no idea if some of the designs below can be done in a knit tie. If it can't be done, let me know and I'll tone things down for future entries. I have crazy feeling that the designs below are better suited for socks than ties

Some great stuff, guys! Keep them coming. I can see that it will be a close race for finalists.

Don't sweat it! I liked the idea. The maker can do it, so let me see.

I tried to think up a submission, but all I can picture are red lines (beautifully anti-aliased, of course).

I've been obsessing over that color wheel for a long time. I couldn't find any knit ties in those colors so I was actually contemplating a bespoke knit tie.
