Lobster sweaters

Karla Courtney

Brighton, East Sussex

I am a writer and hobby hand-knitter who is inspired by nature and the sea. I love knitting lobsters, and especially love knitting lobsters in sweaters :) I design all of my items and everything is handmade using fine alpaca wool blends.

The story behind the business
Meet Karla Courtney

My father grew up on a a small island off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, where my grandfather caught lobsters and my grandmother knit almost everything they wore (yes, they even had woolly underwear!) I spent my childhood summers with them by the sea, learning how to knit and catch crustaceans. I was hooked!

While I currently live in Brighton, UK, I designed my lobster and puffin toys while I was living in Newfoundland.
