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 pink knit hat, a pink knit cowl, and a pink knit tea cozy are all laid flat on a white marble countertop, surrounded by knitting needles, a teacup full of green tea, and some roses.

A cream-colored knit blanket is draped across a wingback chair with a white slipcover on it. The blanket has lots of seed stitch and interlocking lacy panels.

How to Choose the Best Yarn for Blankets

A pair of lightly speckled, pale pink socks is laid flat on a white marble countertop. The socks have columns of eyelets and purl stitches. They're surrounded by roses and antique paper ephemera.

New Pattern Release: the Marriage of Convenience Socks

What is KFB in Knitting? Try this Easy Increase

A flatlay photo of a seafoam green knit shawl in progress, a finished pair of pink knit socks, and a barely started pair of light purple knit socks laid out on an antique table cloth with thick lace trim. Also in the image is an antique book with a gold and turquoise cover, a light blue Wedgwood bowl holding a ball of seafoam green yarn, a string of pearls, a crystal glass filled with water (it's very hot today), and a small carved shell brooch.

8 Knitting Myths Debunked

A flatlay photograph of a sweater vest in progress. It's tan and has lots of bobbles with rippling garter stitch. It's surrounded by white roses, a teacup full of chamomile, a lace handkerchief, and some antique paper ephemera.

Knitting Without Fear, from Beginner to Expert

A flatlay photo of a few skeins of medium-brown yarn, a ball of dark brown yarn, and some wooden circular needles with lots of dark brown stitches cast on to them. The needles are resting on a white lace antique doily with a carved shell brooch next to them.

The next pattern in the Golden Honey Sock Club com The next pattern in the Golden Honey Sock Club comes out a week from today. I really wanted to make a pattern that was more geared toward newer sock knitters, so this pattern has some special details that make it a little easier than my usual designs. Newsletter subscribers always get a 30% off discount code to celebrate the release weekend of all of my self-published, individually available patterns. That means there will be a code for this pattern if you want to get it separately rather than join the club. If you comment “newsletter,” I’ll DM you a link so you can sign up and make sure you don’t miss the email when this pattern is released.
