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.

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.

Say hello to your new favorite sock pattern! Illus Say hello to your new favorite sock pattern! Illustrated Couple is knit from the cuff down and has a round toe so there’s no grafting at the end. Testers reported that the toe construction was comfy and that they enjoyed the mellow texture on the leg paired with the simple stockinette foot.
