NEW Oh Snaps Wristlets... For a cause!
|
Alright, crafting friends, we need YOUR help! We are gearing up for 2019 Clubs, and we want to hear from you! What you've liked, what you haven't liked, how we can make each of them better, which is your favorite, which is your least favorite? We're in the early planning stages, and thought who better to ask than our current subscribers?! We want to know all of the details!
Have no idea what we're talking about? That's okay, we're happy to 'let you into the club', hehe! During 2018, we've offered 7 Clubs - Beanie Bags, Big Beanie Bags, Micro-Brews, 2018 Tosh Shawl, 2018 Tosh Blanket, Tosh Collector's, and Crochet Club. Not sure which is right for you? Ask the Jimmy Beans Yarn Club Wizard (he knows all)!
If you're willing to share your feedback with us, please take our survey! Together, with your help, we'll make 2019 Clubs better than ever, and we are excited to incorporate your feedback and suggestions! And, there's one $50 account credit up for grabs! Complete this survey, and you'll be entered to win - we'll draw the winning participant next Friday, November 2nd!

We're proud to partner with non-profit organization, Breastcancer.org, for the 2nd year in a row, in their mission to provide the most reliable, complete, and up-to-date information about breast cancer to those who must face this horrific disease. At Jimmy Beans, as a woman-owned and operated company, the prevalence of breast cancer really hits home for us. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer - it is a far-reaching disease that has touched each of our lives in one way or another. We all have a friend, family member, or acquaintance that has faced their own battle, including our sweet HR Liaison, Mindy.

Newly released, we've just added our Oh Snap Wristlet in Breast Cancer Pink to the site! Just like our I Love Handles Wrist Ruler in Petal, $2.50 from every purchase will be donated directly to Breastcancer.org. Perfect for crafting on-the-go, this wristlet will easily fit a small project!
With your help, we are committed to providing Breastcancer.org with as much support as we possibly can - please join us in the fight against breast cancer!

Knit With A Purpose!
A few months ago, we asked for help on behalf of one of our sweet, local customers, Ralyne! Ralyne is knitting socks for the Eddy House (local to Reno!), and set a goal of collecting 60 pairs of socks to donate by the time chilly fall and winter weather hit our area. The Eddy House works with homeless and at-risk youth to help develop the life skills necessary for independent living.- helping local youth, ages 12-24, with care and comfort services.
|
|
To date, we've collected over 25 pairs of socks from you, our wonderful friends in fiber! Thank you so much for your kind generosity! We are still collecting socks for Ralyne and the Eddy House, so if you have some extra sock yarn in your stash, we'd love if you'd consider knitting and donating a pair of socks! Donations can be mailed to:

Project on our Needles!
Cassidy's Bobble Sheep Pillow
Baa, baa, knit sheep, have you any wool? Take a gander at this adorable sheep pillow that Cassidy knit! It's the perfect addition to any couch, bed, or wherever you might need a cuddly friend to keep you company! The pattern uses super bulky yarn for the bobbled body of the sheep and worsted yarn (held double) for its sweet, little face. We recommend using Cascade Spuntaneous for the body and Cascade 220 for the head.
