Don’t Panic.
Whether you dropped a stitch, can’t figure out a pattern, or just want to finally use up that yarn stash, you’re in the right place.
I’m JennyKnits and I’ve been knitting for over 50 years and teaching for the past 20. Either I’ve made exactly the same mistake, or I’ve helped someone else who has.
So I’ve been keeping a little secret. A few months ago I started a brand new YouTube channel called Jenny Floats and I honestly had no idea what was going to happen with it. I just had some stories I needed to tell.
One of them took off. Like really took off. I found my biological father at 63 after 57 years of family secrets and I put it all on camera. That video has over 136,000 views now and the channel just became a YouTube Partner in five weeks.
If you want to come see what I’ve been up to outside of knitting, I’d love to see you over there.
Come float with me.
