There's no way Jimmy Beans would exist without the help of this entire group!

When Amber transitioned her Reno artist boutique from a storefront to online, we were
lucky enough to have her join our team. She's been pulling orders and helping online customers,
as well as providing comedic relief during the day. And in the Spring of 2008, she'll be introducing a line
of hip knitting t-shirts!

Diana started with us in the winter of 06-07 and typically works the weekends. An aspiring
expert knitter, we think she just enjoys having a day or two a week surrounded by yarn & adults... :)
Currently, she's following Jeanne's lead and is knitting a beaded scarf - we can't wait to see the beautiful results!!

Jeanne recently came to us in dire need of a diversion from her tedious paralegal work.
One smart cookie, she's always having a blast in the Reno store - rearranging yarns and books,
creating compelling displays, and just chatting with the customers. You'd be hard pressed
to find a nicer and more generous person. We're so grateful to have her!!

A former welder (yes, you read that right!), Sandy has both the technical and creative
aptitude to help with all of your knitting projects. It seems like every week she's coming up
with a new & inspiring idea - i just love having her around & i think you will too!!
|
Ashley is our latest UNR hire. She's just finished her bachelors in BioChem then plans to stick around for a graduate degree.
If you've received an order from us, she's probably the one that sent it. Hopefully she'll stick with JBW through grad school, because she's always a delight to have around!

Pregnant Rachel is due with twins this fall, so don't ask her to do any heavy lifting!
A whiz at the computer & well versed on our website, she can answer any questions you might have
about your order, our kits, or what pattern goes best with what yarn. Not only has Rachel
mastered our computer systems (she enters many of the Kits on our website), but she is an
amazing knitter as well (in fact, she took a class from Jimmy a few years ago...!).
|
Amanda recently moved to the Reno area from Santa Cruz and is loving the sunshine!
In between classes at UNR (and learning how to knit), she has been helping us with orders, backorders, and everything
else that has to be done! I don't know how we got so lucky to get so many smart and friendly people...
i guess that's just the way knitters are :)
|
Danette just joined our Reno team this summer after spending a year in our Truckee location.
Always cheerful &
never one to back away from a challenge, you can be assured that all of your questions
will get answered - one way or another! As an avid knitter, Danette has created
some amazing garments and is always thinking about her next project!
|
Well, i guess you might want to see what we look like, too... We took
this picture after a friend's wedding in Hawaii, June 2005. It was our first vacation
since opening the original Truckee Store over 3 years prior. If it weren't for
the amazing girls you see pictured above, we'd have never been able to take that vacation.
To them all, we say 'thank you.'

Oh Boy! Our Reno mailman Brian has sure gone the extra mile for us.
He's always smiling when he brings us huge stacks of tubs - and never complains
that we always have so much mail! Our lives would be very different without this guy... !
|
If you think Brian has a tough job, you should see what Jerome
has to deal with because of us! I recently 'warned' him that we were expecting about 50
HUGE boxes of yarn to come in and suggested that he might want to call in sick that day.
He just smiled, laughed, and then told me that he'd get even sooner or later!!

If you've got a border collie, then you've probably seen this face a million
times in your own living room. Buddy's only job is to catch the tennis ball
at least 1,000 times each day. Some days he only gets to about 900, but we still love him!
(it's a good thing he's only 1/2 border collie, or we'd really be in trouble.)
|
Our german shepherd/greyhound mix Wiley has the esteemed job of
'product tester.' He likes to make sure that our yarns are super soft & that they'll keep
him plenty warm, while providing enough style to impress the ladies. Oh Wiley.
