Well I finally finished them!! woop woop! I may have gotten a little obsessive with the detail, but I kinda always do. It was weird for me doing such a small scale project after the huge pieces Im used to making, but I enjoyed it a lot, I think I learned quite a bit from it.<\/p>\n<p>These bees are made form 100% baby merino wool from Malabrigo. I especially love the way they dye their colours, they are pretty much iridescent<\/p>\n<p>Making the bees was certainly a process. I began by knitting the body from the back to the head, then I picked up stitches to make the wings which I used a simple lace stitch pattern for.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hannahhaworth.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/bzzzzz\/\">bzzzzz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(<i>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nielsenhayden.com\/makinglight\/\">Making Light<\/a><\/i>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=afccb301e802b8306718f429084eec61&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=afccb301e802b8306718f429084eec61&#038;p=1\"><\/a><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/tags.bluekai.com\/site\/5148\" width=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/insight.adsrvr.org\/track\/evnt\/?ct=0:dupdmqp&#038;adv=wouzn4v&#038;fmt=3\" width=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/boingboing\/iBag\/~4\/MIt0nwil96g\" width=\"1\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On knitting 50 life-sized bees: Hannah Haworth found herself in the enviable position of having to knit 50 life-sized bees, which she did, and celebrated their completion with detailed notes and lovely photos.
