The “Lobsta’s” Origins

This knitted design harkens back to summers spent on the Rhode Island shore.

“LOBSTA” is what my ears took in many years ago when I listened to neighbors talking about heading to the market in Wickford across the Jamestown bridge to get lobster for supper.

The complete chart features a lobster motif done in the center in stockinette stitch. A garter stitch border surrounds the lobster design on four sides.

Brag Rags © is the tongue-in-cheek name we gave our knitting designs that enable our friends to express their individual knitting skills and their sense of humor as they create a unique gift or personal project.

“Rag” as in a scrap of cloth, can be a misnomer. In the frugal South, we turned “scraps of cloth” into “dish rags” and “wash rags.” A rag was useful to clean and polish, or to use as we turn them into other items, including rugs or quilts.

Our Brag Rags © represent quick, easy, and useful knitted projects that allow our knitting family to choose their colors and original designs as they create clever, whimsical, and humorous gifts and home furnishings.

For photos, we took our knitted LOBSTA to the beach on a sunny day on Pawleys Island, South Carolina where the wind tossed it around until we anchored it with a couple of sandy sticks.
