🎉 So excited to share that I’m a Co on – the brand new Home of Small Business in the U.K.
has brought together some of the best and most creative small businesses from around the country (and this isn’t a humble brag but looking at all of the talent I’m honestly surprised and honoured to be in this company 🥹😭🤩).
90% of the Cos are female-founded and all are unique and inspiring.
In my small corner of the site you’ll find a selection of my pre-made toys, including some exclusive lobster sweaters! Prices include shipping in the U.K.
Congrats to Holly and the team for putting together something so special to support small businesses and change the way we shop ❤️
Rainy day lobster is ready for the rain ☔️
I hope you don’t mind, but I went for the sou’wester hat instead of the wellies 💛

🎁Happy 94th birthday to Poppy! He’s currently in the kitchen in Arnold’s Cove, cooking up some salt beef, pease pudding and root vegetables for his special supper (while wearing a Super Dad shirt 😍).
🎂Dessert will be birthday cake covered in whipped icing from Foodland Arnold's Cove, washed down with a cup of tea sweetened wirh condensed milk 🫖
💙🦞The blue lobsters have arrived! Half went already on pre-order – so if you want one, the time is now 🏃♀️

If you don’t have time to knit a puffin before Christmas, I have some handmade ones in my online shop 🤗🤗
You can also get them at (Oakville)
(St John’s – smaller size ones)

🎄🦞The knitted lobster ornament pattern is now live on my shop – because I mean, really, no tree is complete without a lobster wearing a sweater, am I right? 😂

Just stocked up on more hand-knitted lobsters – if you want one in time for Christmas, this is the last batch so get your order in soon 🤗🦞🎄

Making progress on the gingerbread house pattern (I’m sharing less as I don’t have the same set up as I do at home in the U.K.) I’ve just run out of the brown wool before I could finish the second side of the roof – so the rest will have to wait! 😭😭
The pattern will include the traditional style with the candies + instructions on how to knit some shells and “kelp” style icing for the roof. Stay tuned!

🎃🦞🦀 I like to think that even lobsters and crabs get into the spirit of pumpkin season, too 😂 Happy October – aka cozy knitting season!
