A Bee In The Bonnet

knitting pattern

A pair of speckled socks is laid out out flat on a white marble countertop with the toes pointing to the left. The socks are knit in a pattern that alternates columns of stockinette stitch with columns of ribbed eyelets. The socks are surrounded by small eucalyptus branches, antique books, and a lace handkerchief.

New Pattern Release: The Grumpy/Sunshine Socks

A light blue wool cowl is draped around the neck and shoulders of a dressmaker's form. The cowl features alternating columns of bobbles and lacy leaves, with 1x1 ribbing along the top and bottom for stability.

New Pattern: Quercus Agrifolia Cowl

A top-down photo focused on a pair of handknit sock in progress. One sock is almost done and just needs the toes grafted, while the other is just ribbing on a small circular needle. The socks are a soft blue-green with hints of gray and feature a cabled panel around the front. They're surrounded by a pink teacup and saucer (with lots of milky tea in the cup), antique doilies, and peach and white roses.

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.

My approach as both a knitter and designer has alw My approach as both a knitter and designer has always been that ultimately, you are in charge of your own knit. If you don’t like the technique the instructions tell you to use, you don’t have to use it. But it is important to understand why the instructions include that technique before you decide whether to skip it. That’s because sometimes, even though we don’t like doing the technique, it produces a desirable result. Sometimes there are other ways to achieve that result, but sometimes there aren’t. Once you understand the technique, you are better equipped to make informed decisions for yourself and your knitting process.
If you had told me six months ago that I’d be kn If you had told me six months ago that I’d be knitting a pair of socks toe-up, two-at-a-time, on Magic Loop, I’d have laughed and laughed. I didn’t know how to Magic Loop, and I don’t like knitting socks toe-up. But since July, I’ve learned how to Magic Loop, and now I’m working on a project where I need to squeeze a pair of socks out of just 50 g of yarn when mine usually take 65. I’m going to be using every inch of that yarn, so toe-up it is! This is one of my favorite things about knitting: no matter how long you’ve been doing it, there’s still more to learn.
When the weather outside gets gloomy, a vase full When the weather outside gets gloomy, a vase full of grocery store flowers can really cheer things up. I grabbed a couple bunches at Trader Joe’s, and it gave me a week of happiness. Not too shabby.
Don’t worry if you missed the release weekend di Don’t worry if you missed the release weekend discount for the Santa Rosa Socks. You can still get a discount on the pattern as part of The Half-Light Collection, which includes four patterns designed for sport-weight yarn using Camellia Fiber Company’s CFC Merino Sport base. The bundle is $20, which is a savings of $10 or 33% when compared to buying each pattern individually. That’s the kind of discount you rarely see from me!
