Queen Bee

It’s finally spring, and I couldn’t bee happier!

I am thrilled to announce that the Queen Bee Pullover has released on Ravelry. To celebrate, we are giving you 20% off the pattern until April 7th!

No coupon code is needed. The discount will automatically show in your cart if you purchase before 11:59PM EDT on April 7th. A PDF will be emailed to you by Ravelry. You don’t need to be a Ravelry member to purchase the pattern, but if you are, the PDF will show up in your library.

We all need a little sunshine after the crazy cold this winter. As with all things, I think the answer is yarn. So warm up your favorite needles, cake up some yarn, and get ready to strut into spring like the queen you are.

Fun fact: I am highly allergic to bees. Knitting is therapeutic no matter what, but this one was basically exposure therapy for me. Jac has never gotten to use my epi-pen, and to this day she’s bitter about it. The few times I’ve needed it she wasn’t around to stab me. I think, deep down, she desperately wants me to get stung so she can use it. I suspect, that when we designed the Queen Bee Socks a few years ago, she was hoping they would attract bees to me so she could use my epi-pen.

The joke was on her though, because as soon as those bees saw my impeccable styling, they accepted me as their ruler and now do my bidding. It seemed only right to make a sweater to match. It’s high time the rest of the world should acknowledge each of us as the magnificent regents we are.

The Queen Bee Pullover is super comfy, easy to wear, and in Geek-A-Long Sport Weight yarn it’s light enough to span seasons. Plus, as an added bonus, we donate $1 to Child’s Play Charity for every Skein of GAL Yarn sold. Not only will you have a sweater to match your everyday-tiaras, you can help others while you make it!

I used Gilded (gold) and Jessica Jones (Purple) to make my sweater, and I love the finished look. I’ll be back again next week to show off some of the gorgeous Queen Bee sweaters my testers knitted, including some really fabulous color combos.

If you are knitting the Queen Bee, make sure and tag me @Doctor_Llama on Instagram, and use #lattesandllamas and #QueenBeePullover hashtags so we can all ooh and aah over your projects!

Everything is better with a bee on your sweater.
