I knit a mini version of my Grandfather’s house that he built in Newfoundland.

It doesn’t have every single room, but it is designed to look like a version of it that appears in a book I wrote about spending summers with him and contains things that reflect all of the lovely activities we did together: knitting, reading, baking fresh bread, and spending afternoons drinking cups of tea.

We often had lobster for supper and, yes, the house even has a tiny crustacean and pot!

The roof comes off to reveal the inside…

The kitchen is where we probably spend the most time!

Where we finish most days, sitting in his chair, knitting or reading, by the light of a lantern.

Here’s how it all comes together!
