Grace Ennis was on all accounts a pretty Bel Air blonde - as well as a passionate woman who embraced life to the fullest. When she was five years old, she showed an extraordinary knack for knitting. But it wasn’t until 1939 when she was 29 years old and newly married to Clare Ennis, that the full expression of her art began to take shape. When Clare expressed his great desire for Grace - and her hand knit socks - she began working out her colorful designs on graph paper.
Soon Clare, a popular Naval Officer stationed in Coronado, CA, sported his first pair of custom argyles. The socks became all the rage with his friends and co-workers on the base. Enlisted men placed orders with Grace hand over foot. And Grace delivered: Every design was inspired, executed with style, flare, and of course, Grace.
