Once again, itβs time to celebrateΒ Talk Like a Pirate Day, which takes place every year on September 19.Β Β
What better way to do it than with a tribute to that most piratical of knitwear patterns: arrrrgyle.
As I mentioned in me last argyle post:
Origins of argyle
Whatβs a celebration of piratical knits without a mention of that most piractical-sounding of patterns, argyle. Argyle is a pattern made of diamonds, often including an overlay of intercrossing diagonal lines. It derives from the tartans of Clan Campbell in Scotland. When knitted, argyle is usually done in intarrrrrsia. Β *Ahem.* Intarsia.
Bonnie, classy arrrgyle
This sortΒ of arrrgyle will Β never go outΒ of fashion. Thatβs not an opinion, you understand. Thatβs a personal guarantee. Anyone I catch retirinβ thisΒ arrrgyle β¦well, theyβs just askinβ fer a fight.
