To make ends meet Michael takes a job working a handloom knitting machine to produce leggings for his fellow ballet dancers. Pretty soon he buys his own handloom machine and decides to branch out and make sweaters, however the only yarn he can buy is old stock from the 1950's which are all bright neon colors. The actual designs are limited by the capacity of the hand loom machine in his studio which restricts him to straight lines, so the sweater is a loose fitting classic cowl neck, one size fits all. Michael Simon now ventures out on his first sales trip with bright neon colored sweaters.
