Who doesn't like something beautiful to lay their head on?? Well Sandy is no exception and she has been eyeing the Valori Wells Novella collection of late and what a great way to use this gorgeous fabric? A very special pillow case was a great choice, don't you think? She added a couple of her own touches with french seams and a rolled hem on the inside of the bag.

I also thought it is a great way to re-introduce you to our project log as well.








We recently updated the project log to feature our sewing projects and it's a fun place you can see what we have been working on around the shop! Rachel just finished her Birdie Sling by Amy Butler and she chose some stash fabric for her project and boy do we think it turned out great! I know I want to go for a little dip in Rachel's fabric stash...Rachel what do you think? Hee hee!









You can also follow our fiber related projects on the log and here is Jenn's lovely Belle Cable Hat! She used the Rowan Lima yarn which is so yummy to touch! Of course around here we hardly ever actually say hello...it's more ooohhhh what's that you made...let me touch please!!

You can find all the details for any of our projects on the log and we love to feature our customers as well, so if you have something you would like us to feature please let us know and we will let you how to make that happen!

I hope that our project log will inspire you to come join us in our adventures and remember, it's only a project, the world won't stop spinning if it isn't perfect!! The bottom line is that you try and learn something new in the trying!!

As always, happy knitting, crocheting and sewing!

I wish ALL of our customers could come into the shop and see what's going on around there lately, WOW! Terry has taken over the organization of things and I can't tell you what a great thing it is too!

She has straightened, moved, restocked and just generally tidied up the place with the help of my other retail beans, Sara and Sarah!

No I am not stuttering we have 2 Sara's/Sarah's now and it gets a bit confusing, but I hope you get to meet them both real soon! They are both so neat you will love them!

I have also had some great show-n-tell lately and one of our regular customers, Marilyn, came in to pick a bit of yarn and have some wound, but what she had in her bag was AMAZING!! She knit this sweater up in about 2 months (she is a lunatic knitter and she thought that was a long time, but it might take me 2 years :) from The Rowan Lima Collection book. Of course this is knit out of the Rowan Lima yarn, color Chile 882.

Don't despair, as I will be posting the name of the sweater, yarn amounts, needles and so on on our project log in the next couple of days, but until then these pictures will have to suffice. Sorry to be a bit of a tease, but I have been getting ready to do some filming tomorrow. I promise to get the details up ASAP! Thanks Marilyn for letting me take your picture and I just can't get over how great this project turned out!

Now that I mention the filming I love it when you all let me know what you want to have us tape for you, so please keep the ideas and suggestions coming, email me at info@jimmybeanswool.com. We have a HUGE list of new products and couple of new instructional videos on the list too!

So with that said I need to toddle off and get my stuff together for filming, hmmm, size ? 40" circular needles, tapestry needles, water in a cup, so can you guess what we might be working on teaching you?? There are 3 instructional videos in that list and if you can figure it out before they are posted I'll buy you a frozen yogurt, of course if you live out of town it might be a bit sloppy when it arrives, ha ha!

As always happy knitting and crocheting! Jeanne
