April MKG Meeting

Argyle Style with Harry Wells

Three argyle socks hang from clothes pins against a brink wall

In this slideshow presentation, we will examine the history of the Argyle design, including how it has functioned socially and culturally from its beginning in Scotland to now in our contemporary USA setting. We will look at where Argyle began, what it stood for, how it spread, and how it has evolved through different social and cultural settings, becoming a classic and yet always contemporary style.

Teaching and knitting are passions for Harry. In 2010, he retired from being a university professor to pursue his passion for knitting professionally, teaching a myriad of classes at knitting conferences and fiber festivals on the regional and national circuit. His extensive experience in classroom presentation and course preparation makes for an organized and engaging learning experience. He enjoys designing knitwear and accessories for both men and women, with an aesthetic that emphasizes texture and linear flow. Check out his designs and knitting blog at www.goodforaboy.com. He is Knitteryninja on Ravelry, @harrywellsknits on Instagram, and Good for a Boy Knitting on Facebook.
