A Bee In The Bonnet

Lauren Rad is a knitting pattern designer specializing in handknit accessories with delicate, easy-to-memorize stitch patterns. With a focus on sock patterns that actually fit and the techniques that make that possible, she guides knitters looking to build their skills through projects that introduce one or two new techniques each time. 

Here, you'll find stitch tutorials, yarn and knitting needle reviews, and knitting project updates tailored to help you make informed choices about your knitting experience.

Whether you're a new knitter who wants to learn how to knit socks or a more experienced knitter who wants to sit and stitch in a stress-free environment, this space will help you become a more polished knitter while feeling like you're having tea with an old friend.

Before becoming a knitting pattern designer, Lauren worked as a lawyer and a high school teacher. In her spare time, she can usually be found puttering around in her rose garden or collecting sea glass at the beach.
