A Bee In The Bonnet

Author: Lauren Rad

I'm a former lawyer turned knitwear designer who designs soft, romantic patterns for knitters who want a brief escape from the everyday. When I'm not knitting, you can usually find me puttering about in my rose garden, hosting tea parties, or collecting sea glass at the beach.
A flatlay photo of a pair of light gray handknit socks. The socks are laid flat on a gray surface with the toes pointing to the right. They're covered in tiny cables and eyelets, and surrounded by dusty miller, a blue and white teacup full of coffee, and a blue and white place with several croissants on it.

New Pattern: the Upwelling Socks

The Grandmillennial Shawl is draped around a white dressmaker's form. It's a seed stitch shawl in an asymmetrical triangle shape that has a ruffled edge. The ruffles are made from a creamy silk-mohair blend, while the body of the yarn is knit in a luxurious DK-weight cahmere-merino yarn from Purl Soho.

An ornate, antique teacup with pink flowers painted on it sits on a matching coaster. It's full of one of my favorite teas, Harney & Sons' Vanilla Comoro. In the background is a mitered square blanket made of lots of pastel yarns and a vase full of pink and white hyacinths and baby's breath.

Stopping to notice beautiful moments can make any Stopping to notice beautiful moments can make any day just a little better. When we take the time to look for pretty little things that make us happy, we give ourselves space and permission to enjoy whatever it is that makes our hearts soar. And these are values that are deeply connected to knitting, too. Knitting is all about giving yourself permission to slow down and enjoy something that makes us happy even if others don’t understand it.
Took a little necessary time away with family rece Took a little necessary time away with family recently. The knitting didn’t stop, though. Luckily, yarn is portable and sand washes out.

There are over 27,000 of you here, and I realized There are over 27,000 of you here, and I realized it has been a long time since I introduced myself. So hi! I’m Lauren. Here’s a little bit about the person behind all the knitting tutorials and handknit socks. I hope you’ll stick around. We can talk books and the best sandwiches for tea parties.
