February YoG, Summer Retreat, and Addi Flexiflips!
Remember when you were a kid and dreamed of being an astronaut? Or maybe even a professional athlete? As adults we now know that dreams can take a lot of work and an intricate support system to help us along the way. That's why, this February, our Year of Giving is dedicated to the Boys and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows!

Whippersnapper Cowl by Tanis Gray
This month's designer, Tanis Gray, has lovingly designed the Whippersnapper Cowl to remind us that there are endless opportunities in life and no dream is too big (a separate house for your yarn stash anyone?)!
$5 from each purchase will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club so that our youth can continue to dream big!

Many athletes have relied on the Boys and Girls Club to help them develop essential skills. Read up on the blog to see who recognizes the organization as a crucial part of their success! Who knows, the next future Elon Musk could be waiting for your help to change their future... and in his case, the sky was definitely not the limit!

Speaking of the future, we can see it now: you, us, Lorna's Laces, Miriam Felton, Alana Dakos and Tanis Grey all knitting together this summer! Come knit and learn with us and the pros this June 7th-10th during our annual Jimmy Beans Summer Knitting Retreat! You'll be knitting with us in our hometown at the brand new Renaissance Hotel. Located in downtown Reno, this hotel is one of our city's newest attractions and features plenty of comfy seating, a spacious dining area and is in walking distance to downtown entertainment.
Check out the video below, and then head to our blog to learn more about our special guests and instructors. Space is limited so be sure to reserve your spot soon - we can't wait to see you!

Addi FlexiFlips!
As we advance into the future, so do new technologies and techniques! The Addi FlexiFlips are the newest and greatest addition to your needle case. These make knitting in the round almost as effortless as walking! Easy to use, stitches are simply distributed over two needles, and then knit with the third - resulting in only two needle changes per row. We met up with Katie at TNNA so that she could give us some pointers on how to use them. Check out our video and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more tutorials!

On Your Marks, Get Set... Knit!!!
Don't forget! The opening ceremonies are tonight and we can't wait to cheer on our team during our interactive Speckles & Stripes Sock KAL! If we were soothsayers (skeinsayers?), we'd predict that Team USA will win the most medals this year, which means a lot of faux cables are going to be added to our Olympia Socks.
It's not too late to join the team! Grab a kit, then head to Ravelry to purchase the pattern.
