I’m Jenjoyce, or just Jen. I live a rustic & reclusive life in the wooded mountains of Northern California on a ridge which divides Napa & Sonoma valleys.

I love not only knitting, but spinning too. It is my formative spinning years which have influenced me to write many of my knitting patterns to have gauge substitution charts, so that knitters can use their favorite commercial or handspun yarn, in their preferred gauge. Some knitters view my patterns as “recipes” as not only are they adaptive to gauge, but options for alternative ways to knit the design.

You can find me anytime on my blog, or stop in on my Ravelry group for general friendly chattiness, or to ask questions about any of my designs, but also feel free to message me about anything, I check all these places often and will respond quickly.
