Honeycomb Mitts

Description

Since moving to the smallholding my husband has taken up bee keeping and from time to time he brings in chunks of honeycomb or wax, once with a few eggs and baby bees in!  All these treasures from the hive are so extraordinarily beautiful they inspired me to write a few patterns.
