Marcia Louise was kind enough (to me and her granddaughter) to knit up a hive full of bees. She made a few changes as she worked, and I am SO in love that I need to make another set for Ellie!
Look at the Queen Been in her little pink skirt!
My favorite addition is the i-cord handle on the beehive – that’s just inspired! Once in, the bees aren’t likely to get out on their own, so why not tote them around in a hive bag? My guess is that instead of drawing up the top of the hive, she (and please correct me if I’m wrong, Marcia Louise) continued in i-cord until the handle was long enough and tied it off. Really nice. I love the color changes too, their soft little faces are a great contrast to the stripes.
Marcia Louise also noted a couple errors in the pattern. Mostly stitch count mistakes, nothing that will keep you from finishing if you don’t want to download again, but the pattern is corrected on both Yarn Miracle and on Ravelry. She absolutely earned her honey! Thank you so much!
I just found your blog via Knit Picks. Congratulations on being an Independent Designer. I keep telling myself that I can’t be following any more blogs, but then I find yours and break my own rule.
Emily,
I am a friend of Marcia Louise, and when she told me about
your blog and all the wonderful things you do I just had to come and see. The bee hive pattern is simply adorable, as are
many of the other wonderful patterns you have designed.
How exciting to see Marcia’s version.
I like the birdseed cakes – I will definitely have to try
them! You’ve got a great blog – keep up the good work; I can
see it benefits so many.
