The Local Maker

This custom piece was picked up by its new owner today. What a special creation Laura.

I probably say this alot but I am going to say it again. This is my most favourite custom piece.
Inspired by the book series about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache from Canadian author Louise Penny. The village is called Three Pines. I bet the recipient of this is going to feel so loved by their person.

Peggy and patch will be at Art in the Park next weekend.

This cardigan took me 7 hours to knit by hand 🤍

My mom taught me how to knit when I was around 7 or 8 years old, and now I’m passing that very same tradition onto my daughter.

There’s something special about handmade skills being passed down through generations — slow, thoughtful, and made with love.

If you’re new here, welcome. I' Karen and I’m the hands and heart behind Peggy & Patch 👋✨

Here are 6 things you may not know about me:

1. I’m a mother of two, my kids inspire me every single day.

2. I’m a two-time cancer survivor—which taught me strength, gratitude, and how precious the little moments really are.

3. During the week, I work full time as a Fisheries Biologist on Lake Erie, caring for the waters, fish, and ecosystems I love so much.

4. I’m a Spark Unit leader for Girl Guides, and I love helping young girls build confidence, creativity, and curiosity.

5. As a child, I spent hours caring for my favourite Cabbage Patch doll and making things with my hands.

6. Peggy & Patch was built from all the things I love most: family, resilience, nostalgia, nature, and handmade beauty.

Thank you for being here and supporting this small business dream of mine 🤍
