Laura Zander, is the co-owner of LYS & market leading online retailer of yarn, Jimmy Beans Wool. Laura, along with her husband Doug, worked as software engineers during the dot-com era in the San Francisco area. When they saw the dot-com boom turning to a bust, they decided to leave their jobs, move to their second home in the Lake Tahoe area, and begin a new adventure by opening Jimmy Beans Wool. They started the business, which has been named four times to the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the U.S. list, with a $30,000 personal investment and have since grown it debt free to a booming operation. Laura is one of Ernst & Young's Entrepreneurial Winning Women and was invited to the White House for a forum addressing the American Jobs Act where Jimmy Beans Wool was recognized as a notable Nevada business. An innovator in the Needlearts industry, Laura has created successful national high-profile campaigns such as Stitch Red, Stitch Mountain, & Beans for Brains. She authored and launched her first installment of a three-book series drawing awareness to heart disease, Knit Red. When not knitting or working, Laura spends most of her time on the ski hill, running, playing tennis, or relaxing with Doug and their ten-year-old son, Huck. Jimmy Beans recently acquiried Namaste, della Q, and Madelinetosh—three beloved companies amongst knitters, crocheters, and makers. Jimmy Beans will continue to develop products under their patent pending Jimmy's SmartStix, plus hooks, needles, and notions. Laura joined us this week to talk about all the things she and her company are up to as well as many of the challenges that businesses and creatives face in the world of the COVID-19 virus.

Welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast. Here are the show notes from Episode Eight - I'm Still Standing. In this episode we will be covering Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet; Yarn Clubs; Book Review of 'Three from the Top'; Yarndale Festival Review; FOs; WIPs; Feeding the Habit; a quick update on our first book 'Take Two' and finishing with What's Good? This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. and Lynne Rowe Knitting and Crochet Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: Thank you for helping us reach over 5200 audio downloads and to all of our lovely listeners and watchers for tuning in. As well as our audio podcast, we will also upload each audio episode to our YouTube channel - The Crochet Circle Podcast. This may be a few days after the audio launch each month. 1.Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet (at 3.25 mins) It's a yay from Fay: Having previously had a Nay Crochet about the lack of crochet stalls at yarn events, I am pleased to report that my Yay Crochet is the amount of crochet related stalls at Yarndale. I pulled together the below map to aid crocheters that were coming to Yarndale and for those that weren't able to get there so that they could go on-line and investigate the vendors. It's also a yay from Lynne: The love for crochet seems to be growing - I currently have 12 lovely ladies eagerly awaiting their weekly "learn to crochet class" at Sandbach Boys School, Cheshire. Classes are run by The Link and the next round of classes will be "next steps crochet". 2. Yarn Clubs (at 7.35 mins) This kick starts the beginning of a new series where we talk about yarn clubs. The intention is to cover off standard yarn clubs within this episode and in the coming couple of months investigate themed yarn clubs (where you get more than just the yarn) and crochet boxes (where you receive the yarn, pattern etc. either in one hit or as part of a larger month by month project). Fay signed up to a club from Life in the Long Grass, an Irish based husband and wife dying team. They take inspiration from their surroundings and pull together some of the nicest speckled yarns available. Amazingly, Fay managed to wait a whopping 24 days to open up the package so that it could be done as part of the podcast recording. Was it worth the wait? Yes it was! Looking forward to the next instalment? Oh, yes. Here are the details of Fay's yarn club subscription: Name: Life in the Long Grass (LITLG) Autumn Club. Cost: The single subscription is 70 EUROS or you can double up to get 2 x 100g skeins over three months for 120 EUROS. This means that each skein including P&P costs 20 EUROS (about £105 for the entire double subscription - £17.50 per skein). This is good value for money given that a single skein costs £19 elsewhere and you may also incur P&P costs if you buy online. Colours: You don't know what they will be in advance, although you can guess that because it is the autumn club, the colours will be autumnal. Had I seen this in a shop, I wouldn't have gone to buy it, however, I absolutely love all of the colours. Receiving yarn in this way can be a risk because you don't know what the colours will be. I am very happy with the colours I received in the first month and the fact that they will move me on from my usual colour palette of blues. Yarn base: Another factor to think about is whether you are going to like the base that they are using. I had already squished LITLG yarn and so I knew that I liked their base (75% superwash merino 25% nylon, 100g is 400m) and wouldn't have any issues with it. Lynne has ordered a one-month subscription from Baa Baa Brighouse and it is due to arrive in October. The yarn dyer for October was Katie Pearce of Sylvan Tiger Yarn, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Her inspiration came from ‘Stained Glass’ by Shutterspot Photography. The picture was taken at St Matthew’s Church in Rastrick, just a stone’s throw away from Baa Baa Brighouse HQ. There is evidence to suggest that the site has been a place of worship from as early as the 10th Century. The colourway will be based on a stained glass window. Here are some of the other yarn only clubs (from the British Isles) that we have come across, and if you think we have missed any or, you have suggestions, why not add them to our yarn club chat thread in Ravelry? 1 - Hedgehog Fibre Twist Club, 100g each month for three months for 64.50 EUROS (not sure if this includes the 14 EUROS P&P). 2 - The Golden Skein The Power of 3 Yarn Club, 100g each month includes postage and continues for three months for £75 in total. 3 - Devon Sun Yarns Sock Yarn Club, 100g each month for three months for £55 including P&P. 4 - DT Crafts Super Sock Medley Membership. 100g each month for three months including P&P for £45. 5 - Ripples Crafts Yarn Notes from Assynt (Reliable Sock) Club, 100g each month for three months including P&P for £52. 6 - Cuddlebums Sock Yarn Club, 100g per month and can be purchased on a monthly basis for £16.50 including P&P. A general google search for 'Yarn Clubs UK' will bring up lots of other options. Our suggestion would be to check them all out (you won't know the prices of some until the club goes live) and sign up to the dyer's newsletters and follow them on social media. That way, you will be one of the first to know about their yarn club openings. You need to be quick though because they generally sell out very quickly. 3. Book Review - Three from the Top (at 25.55 mins) We talk about the duo of Kat Goldin and Joanne Scrace rather a lot, and with good reason. They create gorgeous, functional, well-written patterns using beautiful yarns. Back in April, they brought out a book called 'Three from the Top' but whilst we haven't been able to make anything from it yet, one of the Crochet Circler's, Helen, has so far made two of the three cardigans from the book, so we asked her to do the review for us and she kindly agreed! Here is a picture of Helen wearing her version of the Aberfoyle cardigan and below are the top-line details of her review. The full review can be read on Ravelry here. Three from the Top highlights: Overall: 5/5. Value for money: 5/5 (£12 hardcopy plus digital or £10 digital only). Likelihood to make again: High. Likelihood to recommend to a friend: Yes - I already have! The book can be bought online at The Crochet Project. 4. Yarndale (at 34.20 mins) Fay: It is a very different proposition to attend a yarn festival as a trader rather than a visitor. It is hard work and you are 'on' with nowhere to hide for a full two days. I have a newfound respect for people that are trading at yarn festivals weekend after weekend. It was lovely to meet so many Crochet Circle listeners and special thanks to Kate for showing us her beautiful crocheted shawl and Eleanor for the offer of a cuppa next time we are in the area. The only downside to Yarndale 2016 was that I didn't have any time to go yarn shopping. Dinna fash yersels readers, I was in Glasgow for 24 hours last weekend and more than made up for it! Lynne: Despite being shattered, I had a great time exhibiting at Yarndale. It was lovely to meet so many people and chat about knitting and crochet. Thanks to everyone who bought my books and to my good friend Cassie for helping me on the stand - I couldn't have done it without her. And thanks to Martine for providing regular hot drinks on Sunday. Overall it was a great success. I'm so glad that a lot of my knitting and crocheted samples have gone to new homes and hopefully, I'll be seeing lots of FOs of your Mandalas and Fairytale characters. Easily the cutest visitor that we had at the stand. The baby was given one of Lynne's samples to wear. 5. FOs (at 58.25 mins) Fay: My FOs have been reasonably small ones this month because I was making little things to dotaround my Yarndale stall such as the Cow Parsely Garland that I had favourited in a previous Magazine Roundup. The only big item that I finished was my second crocheted garment for Yarndale - Wrapover Top as seen below. You can get all of the details from my Ravelry page. Lynne: most of my FOs have been work-related so it's hard to share them with you before they're published. But I did create a cute little cuddle bear for Yarndale with his own snuggle blanket, and he proved very popular. Also, I recently completed another toy for Crochet now magazine, which is a dress-up doll. Each month, a new outfit will be published. I love how Editor Hugh has made a clothes rail for her outfits. 6. WIPs (at 66 mins) Fay: Some of mine (shorelines blanket, Tardis cushion, two Uncia shawls) haven't been picked up at all but this is mainly because of Yarndale and Take Two preparations. I have been working on a couple of knitted pairs of socks, one of which is for a charity project and that is all I have had time for. So, my WIP list is currently at six including the socks below. Lynne: I'm the same as last month at 14, as I haven’t had any time to work on my own WIPS. I’ve started and finished lots of projects (work-related) but nothing for myself so I’m really looking forward finishing my Search Press book so that I can get on with making things for myself (hopefully). 7. Feeding the Habit (at 76.50 mins) Fay: Well of course very little was added at Yarndale, but a couple of weeks before, I took part in The Great London Yarn Crawl. In short, you sign up to be with a group that has a specific route for the day and times to be at certain yarn shops in London. We had a fab tour guide called Jenny who successfully navigated us around the busy London streets from Liberty's to i Knit London and then on to Sharp Works (my absolute favourite of the three shops). As we were all so fleet of foot, we managed to cram in Loop London as well before making our way to the pub (open just for yarn crawlers) for the raffles and a Q&A session. It was a great day out and formed a large part of my best friend Jenny's birthday present. Here are September's yarn purchases! 1 - Sassenach from Yarns from the Plain 2 - Knit by Numbers from John Arbon Textiles 3 - DK from Wensleydale Sheep Shop bought at i Knit London 4 - Mini from Owl About Yarn 5 - Mini from Third Vault Yarns 6 - Alpaca from Juniper Moon Farms, bought at Sharp Works in London 7 - Madelinetosh bought from Loop London A couple of weeks before that, I had organised a yarn dying workshop which of course meant more yarn acquisitions. It was great fun to try dip dying, kettle dyeing and hand painting and all three techniques gave very different results. So far, I have started a pair of socks off in my hand-painted yarn (see the Fugly Sock picture under my WIPs). This picture shows lots of the yarn dyed during the workshop - so many colours! Lynne: I bought a sock bag from Fay at her yarn dying workshop along with a tension square gauge and some lovely Italian scissors and a leather sheath. I also bought a couple of skeins of yarn from Nic (Yarns from the Plain) and two cute little tins of hand cream from Rachel Atkinson at Yarndale. 8.Take Two update We took our samples for our book 'Take Two' to Yarndale and they were very well received. The book will be available in November and here is a hint of what it will contain: It will cost £12 for the hard/digital copy and £10 for digital-only copy. 9. What’s Good (at 105 mins) Fay: Whilst doing all of the preparation work I had many hours to listen to/watch podcasts. I binge-watched Tilly Trout on YouTube because she is always upbeat and positive and kept me motivated through many days of hard graft! Tilly mainly knits but also makes quite a few crochet projects. If you need to brighten your day, try a Tilly Trout episode! A sneaky second What's Good? is that I am going to be in Glasgow for 24 hours and my DAD (!) has looked up which yarn shops I would want to go to. I will be heading to The Yarn Cake and The Queen of Purls and will report back in the next episode. Lynne: I've made a start on my new regime - to work upstairs in the Woolnest instead of downstairs in the dining room/living room. It's much better in terms of keeping the house tidy and having everything accessible and close to hand. Next stop is to sort out my work/life balance - watch this space. Also, I spotted a new yarn shop in Congleton, on West Street, called the Craft Barn (or the Craft room?) - I'll check it out and let you know all about it next time. Happy listening and crocheting.

We get a little bit of innuendo and silly in this one. No bad language, but a little less clean than you are used to, so you may want to listen first if you have small ones. We sort of fly by the seat of our pants in this episode! We are joined by Special Guests Melissa and Erica. We are at Stitches West and are exhausted and overwhelmed and a little sleepy and maybe a little tipsy (but we're legal so it's okay). In the Knitting Bag (1:43) Laura has no knitting! Melissa is knitting on Leah's Lovely Cardigan out of Malabrigo Sock in a blue and the McIntosh Cardigan by Gudrun Johnson from Knit With Me out of Madelinetosh in Tosh Merino Light in Tern and Edison and Button Jar Blue. Erica is working on the Brier Island Sweater out of Miss Babs Heartland Worsted. She cast on for cowl in Skeindalous Buddy Sock, but had no time to knit. Jen finished her Sweetheart of the Rodeo Cardigan and her Barley hat and gave it to the Knitmore Girls for the Throwdown. She is also working on her Ravellenics project, a shawl out of Mean Girls Yarn Club. Melissa finished some shawls that had been long-term WIPs for the Ravellenics. Frog Pond (10:05) Laura frogged some of her homework to make hat tags--but there aren't sad knitting stories when you're not knitting. Melissa learned from Brooke Nico how to fix mistakes in lace in her Stitches class. Erica calls her mistakes "design decisions" and so does Melissa because "perfection is only for God." Devil's Tower (11:44) Laura is sick of hats, so she's not going to finish the hats she's working on for the Throwdown for later and donate them to Halos of Hope later. We're all a bit hatted out. Stitches Talk (13:48) Laura has been working at her booth and it's been amazing. We had our meetup, which was great. But she is so busy. She wants a little time to shop. Erica is glad she only bought one sweater quantity worth of purple yarn. But she's bought a lot of blue sweater yarn. She got some yarn from Verdant Gryphon, Sweet Fiber, and giant skeins of fingering weight from Miss Babs (yarn Babies). Melissa and Jen also bought yarn babies from Miss Babs. Melissa bought a lot of vintage buttons. And she continues to buy pink yarn, green yarn, and neon yarn. She might have bought and entire rainbown. Melissa took some classes. She took the Fixing Mistakes in Lace Knitting with Brooke Nico and Intentional Patterning with Hand-dyed Yarns with Laura Bryant. She loved them both and recommends them. We talk about the Pajama Party with Marly Bird. Jen got some laceweight from Terilyn Needle Art for a sweater (and so did Melissa) and some laceweight cashmere from Stitch Sisterz. She also got a Miss Babs yarn baby and some Miss Babs sock yarn, some Quince and Company Chickadee to make the Chickadee by Ysolda. Melissa and Erica both got measurements take by Amy Herzog and we talk about Amy's Custom Fit Software and the myth of Standard Size. Jen got a consultation with Amy as well and thought it was great. We talk about the Fit to Flatter group on Ravelry. Jen took Christine Bylsma's Design in a Day class, which was awesome. She also took Edie Eckman's Where Do They Get Those Numbers?, which she recommends for math phobic knitters. And she took Design Inspiration with Lily Chin, which was great. Laura took a class about German and Japanese lace with Brooke Nico and she loved it! Jen and Melissa both saw Myra Wood's keynote where she talked about her Knit in New Directions book. Jen's sweater (made with Laura's yarn) was in the Friday fashion show. We met Steve from It Takes Balls to Knit. Laura, Jen, and Melissa went to the pajama party, had fun, and Jen and Laura won yarn from Malabrigo and Fiesta Yarns. We also mention Skacel and Ben from the Fiber Hooligans and XRX. Jen and Melissa went to the student fashion show. We also had our meetup and got to meet a lot of our listeners. And then Jen and Laura went to the podcaster meet up. Shout outs to the Yarniacs, Just Another Bay Area Knitter, Knitmore Girls, Two Knit Lit Chicks, Hollywood Knitter, Dr. Gemma and anyone else we might have forgotten. We talk about Namaste and how amazing they are. To support the Podcaster Throwdown, they gave the leader of each podcast team a free Harlow bag and t-shirts. We can't say enough good things about these ladies and their products. They are wonderful. Melissa and Jen recommend audio books for their long road trips. We talk about fangirling Myra Wood, Amy Herzog, Brooke Nico, Pam Haschke, Ben Levinsay, Steve from It Takes Balls to Knit, the Yarn on Tap girls. (And Jen loves their sock kits). Melissa talks about a neon yarn baby she bought from Newton's Yarn Country. Melissa is very proud that Stitches is the first time she's bought yarn all year, since last year she bought so much yarn she became a Loopy Legend. We also mention Shalimar Yarns and Plucky Knitter. In closing, Miss Kalendar has the cutest baby ever!

Nature Notes I haven’t seen any snowy owls but have seen a lot of white plastic bags that pretend to be. We nearly broke a record for the most days without 1” of snowfall! The record is 330 in 1918. Naturalist and writer Edwin Way Teale born Joliet IL 1899 Wandering Through Winterwas first nature book to win a Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction. “Our minds, as well as our bodies, have need of the out-of-doors. Our spirits, too, need simple things, elemental things, the sun and the wind and the rain, moonlight and starlight, sunrise and mist and mossy forest trails, the perfumes of dawn and the smell of fresh-turned earth and the ancient music of wind among the trees.” ― Edwin Way Teale Maine Morning Mitts by Clara Parkes made for Georgia.
