Thanks for joining us for a great event with Stephen West!
We had a delightful time this week with Stephen West!
Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for his two classes and for the really fun meet-and-greet!
Argyle Yarn Shop was proud to be a stop on the Westknits Winter Tour.
During this tour of America, Stephen visited a select number of independent yarn shops, taught workshops to a lucky few and released his latest pattern collection, Hiberknitting.
Stephen West's simple clean designs have now been knitted by thousands of knitters all around the world. His shawl designs and innovative colorwork have helped him become a widely recognized and respected designer.

How many environments are there outside knitting where everyone is totally excited to show up at a party wearing the exact same outfit?
Waiting for the magic to begin, here's a pic of everyone rocking the Marled Mania sweater!

In Stephen's workshops his students explored the Westknits shawl world as he demonstrated several of his top-down shawl construction methods.
They experimented with elements like colorful stripes, Westknits shortcut rows, texture, and yarn overs.
The afternoon was all about showing off beautiful yarns with simple techniques combined in clever ways.

After the workshops, Stephen was generous enough to stick around to meet some of his Brooklyn fans! He delivered an inspiring presentation on how he works with yarns, textures, and shapes, and followed it with a book signing of both his Westknits Bestknits books as well as his newest release Hiberknitting!
After the book signing, Stephen was on hand to help our guests shop for colors and yarns for their next Westknits project. Here's Stephen with both the Betten ladies, Esther and Zoë!

Stephen showed off a colorful array of Westknits designs while encouraging our guests to look at yarn in a new way.
Some of the wonderful designs he brought included Penguono, Marled Magic Shawl, Marled Magic Sweater, Dotted Rays, Parachutey, Chevron Shenanigans, Marled Fade Triangle, and Vertices Unite.
We had a wonderful time, and we are hoping to tempt Stephen to return to Brooklyn again later this October!
Thank you to every one for joining us!
