Meet Our Beans for Brains Winners!
The last few weeks our Beans have had a blast reading through all 500 Beans for Brains Scholarship Applications! This year we were blown away by the amount of talent from the student fiber artists who applied and it was extremely difficult to choose just five winners!
Without further ado, meet our 2023 Beans for Brains Scholarship recipients... Drum roll, please!
|
|
Cassie Wilson: "I wanted to submit this project because it represents many things, including lots of learning, my love for public and active transportation, my first original piece, accessibility (in that it's designed to fit me, a person with dwarfism), and I also love that the pink and blue is a subtle nod of allyship to my trans friends."
|
Annabell Faurot: "This pattern is from Jade Starmore's Firebirds cardigan. I am very passionate about this design. The firebird, or "simurgh" as we call it in Farsi, in Persian culture parallels the western phoenix, symbolizing rebirth...Of course, as in the well-known legend, the phoenix will burn itself to ash and rise anew, even stronger and better than it was before. I resonate with this, so this jacket is a reminder that even in seemingly difficult situations, I will overcome them while gaining wisdom and strength."
|
|
|
Meghana Padala: "I submitted the most technically challenging piece that I have worked on so far - the Medusa tote bag that I made for my friend who is a sexual assault survivor. I submitted this piece because, to me, the Medusa tote bag and its backstory represent what my art has done for others - and the beginning of me helping others using the skills and knowledge that I hope to gain."
|
Alicia Leonard: "When I decided to make the blanket, I used Google Spreadsheets to design the pattern. This blanket is the most ambitious project I have made in my time as a knitter and crocheter, and it is something I enjoy sharing with others as it combines the love for reading that my mother instilled in me as well as my love for creating."
|
|
|
Cobi Wright: "I am submitting my first hand-made dress, which I crafted using a combination of crochet and machine knitting. This dress is important to me because I branched out of my comfort zone of crochet hats to make it, and I wore it to an event where I received recognition for my style and creativity on my college campus."
|
Congratulations to our winners! Each of them will receive $2,500 to go towards furthering their education! We want to thank each and every one of you who applied and our partners, Cascade Yarns, Madelinetosh, Urth Yarns, Berroco, Katrinkles, and della Q for helping financially support this program!

Arlene's Lakewood Tee
We are always looking for fun summer knits so when our Bean, Arlene, saw Blue Sky Fibers' Lakewood Tee for their latest knit along, it was just the project to kit off warm weather with! Knit up in Blue Sky Fibers Printed Organic Cotton, this tee is soft and keeps you cool on the sunniest days! What Arlene loved most about this yarn was how it glided off her needles and formed the most beautiful heathered fabric. Great news! This pattern is available on our site as a kit!
