½ of the Youtube duo Knitting Up North with Jenn & Corrina
Jenn is a self-taught knitter, crocheter and spinner living in Northern Minnesota. Not a day goes by that she isn’t playing with fiber of some sort. She has been knitting for 12 years, crocheting for 10 years and is new to spinning in the last couple of years.
Jenn is drawn to playing with color and texture by mixing different colors, bases and dying techniques. The more strands involved the better!
Her favorite things to knit are sweaters and socks. Her favorite crochet items include a granny square. She is still exploring her favorite spinning techniques and tools.
Outside of the fiber arts Jenn is a wife, stepmom, and furbaby momma with a 30 year career as an HR Professional within the financial services industry.
