One of my favorite blogs to read is Knitspot, which is written by Anne Hanson. She has the most beautiful designs, and I love that she writes about her ideas, pattern frustrations, and her garden. Anyway, she's been designing this gorgeous shawl called the Bee Fields. Wow, is it ever gorgeous!Now, if you've been reading my blog for awhile, you'll know that I've already purchased at least one shawl pattern (which I have not yet knit). However, I'm throwing that aside for the Bee. (Can't help it, I'm a sucker for temptation. I'm not even trying to resist!)
The kits can be purchased at Wooly Wonka Fibers for $32 + free shipping and handling. I mean, really, the pattern and that gorgeous yarn? Wow! I just can't wait to get my hands on it!
The only real problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to purchase the beautiful Bee. I think the other Ann (who owns Wooly Wonka) has been inundated (isn't that a splendid word?) with orders, and I suspect her server has shut down temporarily. It's either that, or my husband has figured out how to ban me from buying more knitting stuff!

I know, I adore Anne's blog :-) I've been reading it ever since I found it when I was looking for a jumper pattern for my daughter back in Jan., she's so inspiring in so many ways. I absolutely think the Bee is stunning to say the least. I'm not surprised she caught your eye, and you have to knit her!!
Rachel, I hope you don't mind but I sent Anne(knitspot) an email and asked her personally about the kits for Bee and she just emailed me back. She said you should try using the contact form in the sidebar of the site if you cannot get your order to go through the shopping cart. If you still have problems, then I can let Anne(knitspot) know and she'll drop the other Anne a not to let her know to expect an order from you. But I'd need your name and email address to do that. She also said that Anne has gone part time on her regular job to fill orders, and they will NOT be stopping production of these kits. Let me know what you wanna do you can email if you want joenorris488@comcast.net. And maybe you've already taken care of all this and don't need any help by now :-)
Beautiful shawl! Hope your efforts are successful in finding the kit!
Wow...my crochet'd shawl will never look that fancy.
The Bee shawl is so pretty! I hope you get a kit and knit it. Anne designs such lovely things.
