July 1 - August 31, 2026

 

It all started with a knitted lobster toy pattern. Then the sweater pattern for the toy lobster. Sometimes you need to just make something ridiculous, you know?

Add in a dash of yarn-tour brain and what did we end up with? The Surf n Turf K/CAL. Together we will knit and/or crochet adorable lobster and cow inspired patterns. The Toy Lobster and sweater inspired the KAL, but if you don’t want to make a toy lobster there are a variety of lobster and cow inspired patterns from socks to sweaters. We collected some adorable patterns for both knitters and crocheters but these are just suggestions! Pick your own pattern and share it with us below or on Instagram using the #WFSurfNTurf. Shop online and use code ‘SURFnTURF’ for 10% off yarn for your project. Discount excludes imported yarns Knitting for Olive and Marie Wallin. Cannot be applied retroactively so be sure to add it to your cart before you finalize checkout.

We will have KAL help days scheduled where you can come in and get help with your Surf n Turf inspired patterns with Chris and Miechelle. Please note, they have not made all these patterns but we will help you through the patterns as much as we can.

During these help sessions, we can help you with standard techniques and answer basic questions. We are not able to troubleshoot pattern errors or help you with modifications. Help sessions will be July 28th and August 15th from 11am-1pm. These are not classes, so you are able to come in any time between 11am - 1pm and you do not have to stay for the whole session.
