Our latest MKAL, plus yarn club fresh out the oven
No Mystery? No Problem! ('Cause we got spoilers!!)
|

It's that time of year, again... we're headed back in time with our favorite time traveling duo! This season brings us to the Georgia coast, with the mountains of the Carolinas not far in the distance. Our very own Rachel, of Unraveled Designs, is back for the 5th year in a row with another Mystery Knit-Along! A Carolina girl herself, Rachel is feeling particularly inspired by this season's southern setting, so much so that she's designed the Drums of Autumn MKAL!
|
|
Order your Drums of Autumn MKAL kit, and you'll be whisked away to another place and time! Including 3 skeins of Mrs. Crosby Satchel, in exclusive colors Carolina Sky and Dogwood, you'll also receive the download code for Rachel's pattern, Drums of Autumn, which can be downloaded from Unraveled Designs' Ravelry Store! Starting on Sunday, November 4th, Rachel will release a clue every Sunday for 5 weeks!
|
Spoiler fiend? While this is technically a MKAL, we understand that not everyone wants to wait until the end to see the project. (No judgement! We're dying for some season 4 spoilers... anyone?? Anyone?!) We've got you covered with Drums of Autumn spoiler photos! Only click on this link, if you want to see photos of the finished project. Seriously. You've been warned. Proceed with caution... spoilers abound! Though, we'll admit, once you see these photos, it will be hard to resist the urge to knit!

Save the Boobies, Craft a Beanie!
Did you know, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer?
|
Mindy, our HR guru and an essential part of the JBW family, is a 2 year breast cancer survivor. (Watch this video to learn more about Mindy's journey!) Through her experience, we've learned a lot - Mindy was our wake-up call, and we're now committed to helping raise awareness! Last year, we released the Mindy Hat with $5 from every sale being donated to breast cancer resources. Together, with you, our wonderful knitting friends, we raised over $5000.00!
|
|
This year, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to continue to offer a helping hand! We've curated the Boobie Beanie Kit, available in both knit and crochet! Pick between Mindy's Mauve or Hakuna Matatas, and you'll be helping provide much needed support to breast cancer warriors, like Mindy!
$5 from every kit purchased will be donated to Breastcancer.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the most reliable, complete, and up-to-date information about breast cancer. For Mindy, they were integral in her understanding and management of her cancer, and we're proud to be working with them!

We love a good collaboration, and so does Amanda at Lorna's Laces! She's teamed up with her fiber friends from Anzula, Knit One Crochet Too, Oink Pigments, and SweetGeorgia, and designer Jen Lucas, to bring you Groove! Groove is a shallow colorwork shawl using one 25g skein from each of the 5 dyers. (We love mini-skein sets!) Get the Groove Shawl kit, and you can knit a groove thing along with us!
