MEET Lauren
Hello friend!
Hi there! I’m Lauren, and I’m so glad you’ve made your way here.
A Bee In The Bonnet is a place for soft, romantic knitting patterns, but it’s also a place for everything that goes along with those patterns.
If you can’t get enough of Masterpiece costume dramas, use your fancy dishes on random weekdays, have strong opinions about books with happy endings, and/or secretly wish you could wear very large, very fluffy dresses on a regular basis, then congratulations: you’ve found your internet home.
Come have a seat. I’ve got the kettle on already.
