| Craft Crate, Notions, and Limited Edition Colors! A New Club for Spring, Fun New Strings, and RAINBOW Rings! | | |
Springtime is upon us and winter is retreating (with a fight in some parts of the country)! Longer days, warmer temperatures, and the sun shining has some of us here longing to put down our needles (temporarily of course!) to just go outside and soak it all in. What is Jimmy's Craft Crate, you ask? It's a box, inspired by the promise of spring and our love of knitting - a fresh start, blooming possibilities, and of course, a gorgeous knit! Joji Locatelli's 3-color Cashmere Cowl, Malabrigo's scrumptious Finito in 3 different color combinations, custom stitch markers from A Needle Runs Through It, and circular needles, this project will be the perfect quick springtime knit. And for all of us aspiring gardeners, or even the seasoned pros, you'll ALSO receive a small vase, a cute watering can, and a packet of forget-me-not seeds, to brighten up your home. We hope you enjoy!

Summer Lovin'!
Speaking of new products, coming this summer... new needles and notions!! Y'all know how much we love sharing every new hook, needle, hank, and notion we can get our hands on with all of you. YOU understand our crafting obsession and every Friday, we envision you squealing with us in delight as you revel in the treasures that Jimmy's brought back from her adventures (did you follow her recent yarny European getaway?!?!). So for summer, we proudly present:

Knitter's Pride Row Counter Ring
The Knitter's Pride Row Counter Ring in new color, Rainbow! Just like the original, you wear it on your finger to keep track of your rows as you knit. It comes in extended sizing, so we recommend getting the size that will fit your thumb or first finger, to make it easy to click those numbers by as you go!

Addi Rocket Squared Needles
Calling all Addi lovers! The Rockets that you know and love now come Squared! With the same sharp tapered point, and smooth finish, the square shape is ergonomic and easy on the hands. It can also help you have better tension, resulting in stitches that are more even. Grab a pair for your next project and try them out!

ChiaGoo TWIST Red Lace Interchangeable Sets
Finally, Chiaogoo Shorties now come in the Small size! Containing sizes US 4-8 in 2 and 3 inch needle lengths, each interchangeable set makes needles in lengths 9-14". The Shorties are a great alternative to DPNs or magic loop, and are perfect for small circumference knitting in the round, like baby hats, socks and sleeves!

If it's not obvious yet that us Beans have warm weather on the brain, our new Limited Edition colors for April will surely convince you! This month we're taking you to the Tosh ranch in the sunny state of Texas. There you'll find sprawling terrain, yards of roaming ewe, and one lone donkey, lovingly named Don Quixote! Why the one donkey, you ask?! Ya see, Don roamed upon John and Amy's ranch one day and well, never left! With a ranch full of animals anyway, the pair decided he was one of the pack and have been caring (and loving!) him ever since! Available in three bases, Pashmina, TML, and Vintage, April's Madelinetosh Limited Edition color is inspired by the Don himself. Featuring a rich blend of creamy hues speckled with gradient greens and subtle shades of yellow, this yarn ain't horsin' around!
From the great plains of Texas, we take you to the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean! Picture this: tropical white sand, the bright, blue ocean framed by the window of your over-the-water bungalow. You've got a fruity drink in hand (one of those colorful ones with a mini umbrella!) and on your lap sits the newest, brightest, shiniest yarn on your needles! Okay, okay, a girl can dream, alright?! Let Lorna's Laces transport you to sunnier skies with their Limited Edition color for April appropriately named, "Virgin Islands". This gorgeous speckled skein highlights those sandy beaches with its off-white base and brings to life coral reefs and tropical fish with pops of yellow, pink, and blue speckles.

Kashmir is Here!
We're following sunny skies all the way to Urth! As soft as it is vibrant, Urth's Kashmir Mono, a delightful fingering weight yarn comes in 220 yards of squishy goodness! The tonal variation in each skein offers a caboodle of colors perfect for a spring shawl, classic cowl, or squishy socks. Go ahead, treat yourself (and your needles!) with the experience of this yummy, 100% cashmere yarn. There's nothing on Urth quite like it!

Jimmy's Knit Club!
Don't call it a comeback! Jenny Nelson, a former Bean (we miss her so much), has returned like a Phoenix from the ashes to design your Knit Club project for Quarter 2! Since her departure from JBW, Jenny has begun to pursue a career in nursing and we couldn't be happier for her! And we were so, so excited when she agreed to be our second designer for this year's Knit Club!
This quarter, we take a trip to the sunny shores of Lake Tahoe, nestled in the Sierra Mountains. If you've seen Tahoe, then you understand that a shawl inspired by it has to be just as gorgeous. The faint smell of vanilla and pine wafting through the trees in the heated summer air and the sounds of small waves lapping the shoreline, sunlight twinkling the ripples of the water all come together in the Lakeside Summer Shawl. Wanna get to know Jenny a little bit more? Head to our Blog and check out our latest Q&A!
