Thanks to a Netflix show, this Newfoundland knitter is struggling to keep her kits in stock - CTV News

Published: October 19, 2026 at 5:00a.m. EDTCONCEPTION BAY SOUTH, N. L. -- At 81 years old, Barbara Harpur may just be busier than ever. In the last two months — all while water damage was being remediated in her basement in Conception Bay South — Harpur made three new variations to one of her classic sweater designs and prepped them for publishing at a local print shop. The timing couldn’t be better. Her new pattern book, More NL Guernsey Patterns, will release just as millions of people are seeing her design on their televisions and computers, as worn by Newfoundland actor Andy Jones on the Netflix show Below. How to set CTV News as your preferred source on Google“I knew the show was going and everything, and I was trying to get it all together, but the timing is perfect,” Harpur said. Her original Newfoundland Guernsey pattern is more than 25 years old, but its screen time in the streaming show has given it a new life. Newfoundland and Labrador knitting shop Cast On, Cast Off has been selling kits to make the pattern since Below was released, and is struggling to keep that product in stock.
