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.

Sometimes, Roses Don’t Bloom, and That’s Okay

A pink hat with columns of eyelets and slipped stitches is laid flat on a countertop surrounded by a teacup, white flowers, and ornate brass scissors.

2021 Project of the Year: Eleanor of Toledo’s Stockings

A pair of socks, knit with blue-grey yarn and a lace design, lay atop a lace doily. White flowers, a pink pincushion, old books, and a china teacup surround the socks.

Meet the Gladdening Socks

A white woman rests her hands on a marble countertop, showing off her grey lace-knit fingerless mitts. To her right is a stack books with a china teacup on top, and to her left is a china plate full of lady finger cookies.

2020 Makers’ Advent Calendar

A crescent-shaped shawl in pale blue and yellow stripes is draped around the torso of a white dressmaker's form. In the background is a large monstera plant, a brick fireplace, and some framed antique prints on the walls.

One of the coolest things about knitting is how in One of the coolest things about knitting is how infinitely customizable it is. Each of these socks uses a different toe construction for a slightly different fit. How about you? Do you like round toe, wedge toe, star toe, something else?
As a little girl, I loved Felicity’s bravery and As a little girl, I loved Felicity’s bravery and commitment to what she believed was the right thing to do. Now, as the mother of a 9-year-old girl, I’m horrified by how she snuck out in the dead of night to steal a horse. Child! What were you doing?! Anyway. Here’s a fun look at what kind of knitting needles she would have been using to knit her socks.
Next in our series of picking the right knitting n Next in our series of picking the right knitting needles, we’re talking about material. These three are the most common materials for modern knitting needles, but as you’ll see in an upcoming video, there are other materials that have been used over the years.
