Bee My Honey-A-Long
January 20 2024 – Rebecca Glazier
Spring may not feel like it's on it's way, but let's count down to Spring with Baaad Rabbits and our Bee My Honey-A-Long!
Starting Wednesday 7th February, and running for 6 weeks with the finale on the 20th March (the second day of Spring!)
Join in the fun and choose one of the Bee themed projects, (or choose your own) choose your yarn and cast-on with us on the 7th!
There will be a prize of course! To be eligible your materials need to be purchased from Baaad Rabbits.
In the spirit of a new year, we also invite you to try something new! Maybe you haven't worked with mohair before, maybe you've never cabled, or brioched, or something else! Take a look through the projects and see if there's something you've been wanting to try, but haven't got round to yet.

The Honey Brioche (Ravelry link) cowl by Stephen West is a lovely fully reversible puffy, squashy, beautiful cowl! I held a strand of Rico Print mohair with WildWestDye's merino/ cashmere/ silk singles, you could also use Lang Merino 150 + mohair.
A perfect project if you haven't cabled or brioched before, or even if you have! We have arranged a class starting Thursday February 8th if these techniques are new to you.

Honey Comb brioche is so so pretty, I've wanted to make something in it for quite some time, so when I saw PetiteKnit's Honey Clutch (Ravelry link) it was meant to be, and I do love making bags!
I used Rico's neon sock yarn + mohair, (I do love some neon!) any fingering weight + mohair would work.
We have a Honeycomb brioche and a Double knit workshop if you'd like to take a class that uses the techniques used in this project.
Crochet:
Honey Waffle Sweater by Emilia Johansson
Honey Bee Blanket by Briana K Designs
Honey Comb Shawl by Becca Bomgardner
The Garden of Honey Shawl by Susy Knotsosquare
Hotel of Bees Shawl by Cristina Hadderingh
Rebecca is *pretty* sure she's make the Honey Waffle Sweater... it's been on her want to make list for a while, is in the spirit of something 'new' as she has never made any waffle crochet before!
