Hi! I'm Jenn.
I’m a multi-disciplinary maker who loves to learn new ways of making things — taking classes, watching videos, and trying stuff out on my own. Knitting, spinning yarn, sewing clothing, and leather-working are some of the disciplines I work in. Many of my projects use all sorts of reclaimed and recycled items.

The sock monkey hat is coming along well!

I spun up some red yarn for my sock monkey hat project — super pleased with this because this is hands down the most consistently weighted yarn I’ve ever spun.

Stashbusting project! I’m knitting gauge swatches to design a pattern for a hat of a sock monkey wearing a hat.

I created custom placemats to look like souvenirs from the Big Bang Burger Bar*

About Jenn

My goal is to inspire people to try new things. I’ve been craft-failing forward for years, and I believe that failure isn’t the opposite of success. It is part of it.
