Keep them coming guys! The deadline is less than a week away. I see a number that should make the final round, but nothing is a lock, and there's room for more!

The ideas above are good, however, I think many ideas with the stripes would make better socks than ties... I think one needs to consider the knit aspect of the tie when considering patterns.

How about using two different color silk threads "interweaving" them to create a blended look. Examples could be:

Gray blue - Sky blue
Orange - Pink
Peacock green - Light Blue/Green
Pomegranate -Bright Pink
Taupe - Ivory

The two threads woven through the tie would create a depth of color that would be unique to the knit tie, as opposed to the knit tie trying to be a regular tie.

That might be too close to a thom browne tie I've seen. I'll have to dig up the image...

Last day for entries is Monday, so consider it your weekend homework to design an excellent, contest winning knit tie.
