never tied a
bow
Though I wear a tie only on Shabbat (and then only in the winter),
I've tied enough ties in my life that I can do so with my eyes closed
(or at least without looking in a mirror). Considering that I can't
remember every buying a tie (I have a way of inheriting them from
people who no longer want them) my guess is that I received this
instruction sheet from my father many years ago. The opposite side
gives instructions for tieing a regular tie which, as noted, I don't
need. The side shown here, however, gives instructions for tieing
a bow-tie - something that I don't know how to do, but occasionally,
probably for Purim or something similar, might want to. That's probably
the reason that these instructions are in my socks drawer - so that
I can readily find them if and when I want to tie a bow-tie, though
I doubt that the instructions will really help me if and when I
need them.
