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.

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.
If you’re like me and often end up straddling th If you’re like me and often end up straddling the line between form and function, sometimes the best solution is to just have a little bit of both. I’ll use my laptop *and* knit frou-frou socks by hand.
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.

Sending a great big hug to my LGBTQ+ friends. You are beautiful, you are loved, and you deserve all the good things. I’m so glad you’re here.

Yarns here are (left to right) @sugarplumcircus, @oinkpigments, @stunningstring, @missbabsyarns, @universal_yarn, and @biscotteyarns.
