I am not a person who is into yellow, but that pop of yellow trim at the neckline looks SO GOOD. It elevates the whole look so much and makes it way more memorable. Taking risks pays off!

[@kimchampney5975]

You are the most talented girl in the sewing, crochet and knitting world….

[@xingcat]

The pops of color on the collar and armholes really make this vest look unique! I'm glad you're feeling better.

[@camilo.x.listener7186]

Wow Jenna that’s a beautiful sweater, West i’m so glad that you’re feeling better 🎉🧶

[@ltottman996]

Jenna, your work isn’t trash. Only else is going to have your sweater vest, it’s unique to you

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

Love watching the thought process in your positioning of items! Very helpful! Your channel is so well put together and every detail is considered...from thumbnail pics, music, coordinating outfits with decor/ season. It's all beautifully done🎊🫂🎉🌲🎅🧑‍🎄🦌🌲🎄

[@victorialove9104]

I agree

[@jodiaz2922]

Happy Birthday Sweety. Thank you for great vids.

[@Inevitable.Change]

Happy late Birthday! So glad you're feeling better and choosing to keep things chill. Be gentle with yourself you lovely crochet lady. You pull off a lot of unique stylish looks so well!

[@dublin123]

I just learned how to crochet, now I can actually understand all of this crochet talk. I can't wait to make something like this! The top is very cute, you're very talented. I assure you it doesn't look like compost. :)

[@haleeegreen]

i've been stuck in a crochet idea slump for a while and i think this just pulled me out of it- feeling grateful on this day. it turned out so cute!!!!

[@rubyz9054]

I look forward to your videos. Love your vest! I think it is great how you are teaching new crocheters how to just try to make something. And it comes out. Ive loved working with yarn for many years and i am so happy yarn works are being revived. ❤ Thank you Jenna. I look forward to your new videos on Wednesdays. YOU GO GIRL!!!

[@kskc1234]

Ended up looking much better than I expected. I'm not much of a green girl but with the final colors of trim, the pink and yellow and the knit trim, I have to say it made a perfect Spring, Eastery vest! Glad you're feeling better... until next time...

[@katie4548]

I’ve been wanting to crochet a sweater vest for months… I think this is my sign to finally do it. I started knitting and crocheting in December 2022 because of you- thank you for inspiring me and in turn giving me a new hobby!! 🧶

[@MsRachaelRoberts]

Sorry you've been so poorly - especially on your birthday :(. Bless you. Get well soon. Hope Benson and Jack are giving you lots of cuddles. Keep creating your unique items. I love to crochet, knit and sew. Some things I love more than others out of things I made but I always love the process of working things out. It's a real gift to be artistic and creative and it's very therapeutic. ❤️

[@sprinklesofjoy4898]

Hi Jenna! Watching your videos has definitely inspired me. I’ve always been a seamstress, but I usually focus on much smaller projects. Recently I got into making dresses, and now I get to watch your Videos while crafting along with you. Thanks 😊

[@charlottelay8220]

Your videos bring me so much joy. I’m off work at the moment (mental health sucks) but somewhere between knitting and crocheting badly and feeling a bit poop about it, then watching your videos and getting better? Yeah, that’s the one. Plus, my dog jumps up every time Benson or Jack are on screen. All good boys.

[@mckinleyt98]

This timing could not be more perfect for me!! I’m a super beginner crocheter and i’m thinking my first big-ish project will be the simplest sweater vest i can find, since i’ve been wanting one and i can never find cute ones thrifted or in stores, and i don’t want to buy one online without knowing if i like how it looks on me. At least if i make it and don’t like it, i’ll have had fun 😂

[@Moonlight0g0g0g]

Me too!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

you always pick such fresh & unique palettes! love the pointy dagger collar shirt underneath too

[@troebeliewoep]

I love this vest and seeing you work so organicly is super cool! The colours have me craving spring and easter and little flowers.

[@samanthaleck7347]

A friend of mine has recently been teaching me to crochet and I've gone back through to rewatch all of your crochet and knit videos because I have a new appreciation 👏👏👏

[@ChristineMakes]

I really adore the mix of knit rib and crochet edging! I’m DEFINITELY taking inspo from this design ❣️ You’ve got a fantastic eye, Jenna!

[@veronicacamacho2968]

I just wanna say I do struggle a lot with keeping motivated but your videos help me so much knitting and keep going thanks for doing them

[@magdalena1603]

that final outfit is stunning, the layering is immaculate

[@Bee-yc4dt]

Beautiful vest! And I love how Benson's tail abruptly stopped wagging when you called him out on camera for being a late riser 😆

[@8Gammie]

I'm so sorry you were sick on your birthday and had to go to the hospital. wow! So, glad you are your happy, perky self again!! I'm soooo impressed with your vest (and, I didn't try to rhyme, LOL). It's is so cute, fun and great job!!! Love watching you make things... and so happy to see Benson. Late HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! love,hugs,prayers to all 3 of you.

[@lady_kikilee]

Happy Belated B-Day!! Sorry to hear you spent it not feeling well but glad you're feeling better!! Loved seeing you still cooking things in pots due to no pans, lol!! The vest came out very cute!! I'm in the process of crocheting a sweater that I'm making up as I go so I love seeing others doing the same. As always, thank you for sharing with us!! 🥰

[@theedorbs]

I'd like to see one with an orange ribbed neckline, too!

[@nancyk777]

Happy belated Birthday! I'm sorry you spent the day sick, wishing brighter and healthier days ahead. I love the sweater vest and the colors you chose. I also love how you styled it, you need to go visit a cool coffee shop or something and be seen, that look is too cute to stay home. Thank you for the fun videos and inspiration!

[@maya-gur695]

I love sweater vests! Yours is so cute, you've really developed a signature style of handmade clothes. Also, happy that you're feeling better.

[@laura6796]

You did a beautiful job on your sweater vest! Love the colors. Glad you are feeling better!

[@sassypenguinsknits]

The outfit is great!!! I find your videos sooooo inspiring, they make me wanna start making more funky stuff for myself and feel great about it 😂 I love it. A Jenna's video day is always a great day. Thank you!!! 🤗❤

[@johannetessier2767]

Mixing knitting and crochet…Awesome 🎉

[@autumnarcher]

Love the yellow on the neckline!!! So happy you went with the ribbing on the sleeves, I feel like the ribbing would look really good on the bottom as well, I just love the ribbing so much darn it!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Definitely NOT compost. Such a cute vest. I love the yellow pop. Honestly, I'd like the yellow on the hem too, and maybe a different color on all 4 finishing edges. It'really doesn't matter, because all your pieces are spectacular. You are so talented. Whatever you do is creative, and inspiring. It's really helpful to watch the way you measure and aproach the project casually. It relaxes my approach. Thanks. Lynn

[@uarmyhan]

it turned out SOOO cute !! i’m glad to hear you’re feeling better now since your cold. also, i just wanted to say i know it’s easy to be comparative but you are so stunningly talented, i aspire to be like you !! we’re all on our own journey and that’s what makes our creative endeavors so fun 💓

[@ChickadeeTwee]

Thanks for sharing your process!! I’m stuck at a similar part of a project and I think this has actually really helped me figure out how to finish it!

[@Sherbear60]

I love this!! ❤️ It turned out beautifully!! Your creativity just comes to life!!

[@kxtie_h]

It’s a good day when Jenna uploads a video!!!

[@naivenostalgia]

Truly! Instant mood-booster.🧶🎉

[@Emzjellybeanz]

Stunning! I'm also crocheting a sweater vest right now without really following a pattern, so it's nice to see how well yours came together :)

[@pancaliputri626]

I’m glad that you feel better Jenna!!!

[@Aahlife]

I just finished watching the series Next in Fashion, and I agree the talent on that show is amazing and mind blowing. That said, I can say the same about you! I’m a life long knitter, crocheter and sewer and every time I watch you I learn something new and get so very inspired.

[@fannypetry3481]

I LOVE IT 😍 I'm always blown away by the colour combinations you choose, they are always so gooood! Gotta make the same one now for spring 🌻

[@hunterj458]

Belated Happy Birthday Jenna. Glad you are better, sorry you were sick. I love the sweater vest that you made today.

[@ignorancja]

I think you singlehandedly got me into colors. I remember watching your videos two years ago thinking "mmm i don't know about that" but kept returning to your content and I'm a different human now. Converted. This color combination is amazing

[@TwiceAsNice123]

Hi Jenna! I love watching your videos, they make me feel sooo much better. I don't feel that great at school, so crochet, knitting & sewing with you makes my day 10 times better! Also, I know what you mean by feeling trash after watching Next in Fashion, but you are amazing!! - you could definitely win ♡

[@nushBee]

omg i'm obsessed w this yarn and stitch situation w this color palette jenna!! go forth and do a birthday week for yourself, i say! :D

[@Lucy-yd6uj]

Crocheted a bandana while I watched! 🧶

[@rebmedina2835]

You can always put a white border at the bottom

[@lea-np3dj]

i love your videos, such a breath of fresh air for me! you inspire me a lot, love you jenna

[@sarahmancini5501]

It looks great! So cute!!! I adore the colors and the knitted rib on the sleeves!

[@user-tatiana-kazakova]

Hi Jenna! I just wanted to say thank you for your videos! You inspire me to knit things I want to knit and to do it the way I want to do it! ❤

[@sparo_art]

The end result looks so nice ! At some point, it had this life vest vide but damn do the pops of colours bring it all together, it's incredible !

[@agnesteppo6378]

Such a cool sweater vest! I’m always so inspired to crochet after watching you videos.

[@cathyclark5791]

I love the color. I also am obsessed over the original vest, so you picked a great pattern!

[@pancaliputri626]

You always makes my day!! You are funny, beautiful, talented, courageous, and genuine. Love love love love!!!!!

[@lisasmith9123]

It looks amazing, definitely loved your choices and the final version. AND, you did all that after being so ill. Glad you’ve bounced back.

[@dalenewton6015]

Thank you for sharing Jenna, love the cute vest. ❤❤❤❤

[@andimartinez7288]

I literally have the front piece of a sweater vest almost exactly the same on my hook! It's made of 2 strands of blue yarn, 1 of yellow, and 1 of green. I also did hdcs instead of dcs, but otherwise exactly the same! I started 3 days ago and I'm also watching Next in Fashion!

[@Katie_Chow]

I love these colors!!! Thanks for the inspiration and the laughs :D

[@sweet.Ivy.]

Looks so good Jenna! Thank u for the inspo I was too scared to start up a crochet vest but now you've finally pushed me to do so! Thank u

[@Betterialist]

I love this kind of effect that multiple yarns make together. It looks like the Italian designer style Missoni 😍

[@jemreandeau3583]

Love the vest, so glad you went with yellow for the collar. And you did style it very nicely, I won’t tell that the shirt is just a bit to long. Love you and your pups❤.

[@Saucula]

Very cute. Love how you styled it ❤

[@brendaclark5216]

Hi Jenna, happy to hear your feeling better. Happy belated Birthday 🎉. Enjoy watching your process on making your projects, always turns out fantastic. 🥰

[@katieliz2655]

Always love your videos Jenna! 💗 keep being creative

[@candysworld7790]

Hey Jenna I love that sweater vest! You are so entertaining to watch. ❤

[@creatingcrafts1353]

no joke the other day was like i really want to make a crochet sweater vest😂😂

[@melindakapp5838]

love it ❤! u did a great job! love the pops of color, ribing and texture! the overall design is really right on! love it!

[@BobbieesWorld]

That looks great! The pink is the answer. I love it.

[@nancylangellier3458]

You create so many beautiful things. Love watching you

[@missmeeraj650]

The vest is adorable!

[@louettesommers8594]

I really like the tan vest you were wearing.

[@eldoescrochet]

this vest is absolutely gorgeous omg. the colour combo is perfect! i’m so inspired rn 😁 ps. happy belated birthday ❤️

[@julieastry8355]

Glad you’re feeling better. Happy belated Birthday!

[@michelleellis1290]

Belated Happy Birthday 🎉 I’m sorry you were poorly. Absolutely love the sweater vest 🥰

[@patbuegeler7770]

Happy Belated Birthday!! Glad you are feeling better. Vest is looking great. Like the colors.

[@jenniferzayerz9907]

Jenna, I think the vest came out great! I think it would also look good with a pair of jeans or shorts. You can even wear it with shorts and no other shirt under and I think it would be super cute! LOVE it!

[@elizabethcmckay3207]

I am literally OBSESSED with Next in Fashion, got excited when you said you've been watching it! It really is super inspiring! I love the sweater vest you made, its very you!! :))

[@windy000windy]

Woah i love the colors of the vest!

[@purplegigi_]

glad you doing better jenna, i loved it! 💗

[@BookishLovely]

I love your unique and eclectic (eccentric?) style! I wouldn't wear a lot of the things that you make but they look so great on you! You have really inspired me to pick up sewing again and make clothing that is uniquely me! Thanks Jenna, you rock 🫶

[@theminimalistninja]

I love the colors you chose! It looks incredible!! :D

[@cathythoman]

A beautiful border would be ss ch1 in every stitch

[@sambasu1878]

I got really excited to make me one right now, but since I live in Saudi Arabia and it’s PRETTY warm in here at this time (actually mostly) I think I’ll make one by the end of the year when it’s colder. Thank you for sharing those wonderful videos ❤️

[@mrym5038]

It’s SOOOO PRETTY!!! the yellow neckline is such a nice touch!🤩

[@frida3025]

I don’t really love the process of crocheting but honestly this is so cute I might just have to make something like that for myself, love the green and pink combo

[@jenniferhunt226]

I would love that paired with some nice vintage denim. You did a great job!

[@shellylemons]

Love the color!! You did a great job. Keep being you!!

[@justg1226]

It's awesomely kooky and I love it.

[@charlotteren9681]

i hope you have a great vest of the day

[@CarmenHernandez-yl9bg]

Happy birthday girl. Happy you feeling better🙏❤️

[@freckledcrafts86]

It's giving spring!

[@nnn7886]

Making my 1st cardigan rn! Just finished the 1st panel! Love all your videos

[@pamelarobinson1379]

Loved it, Jenna. Glad you're feeling better.

[@feliciafelder7393]

Your sweater vest is freaking cute! You inspire me to actually finish a crochet project.

[@mackydeebs6345]

[@mackydeebs6345]

bahaha i love next in fashion & can relate LOL

[@reginawithcamera]

I really like your outfit in the end! It's amazing

[@anniskelsey]

I am always inspired to try new colors and color combinations after watching your videos

[@vandyke777]

Hi Jenna I love your content you motivate me to finished projects and because you you I made my first top that I am going to wear when I go to Australia

[@orie.]

I know that feeling when you're making something and you're thinking this is gonna be genius but in the in end....you think it's a mess I love the vest Jenna ❤

[@shirleycarter2451]

Love how freely you just wip something up, thinking it would look good with a row of sc in yellow around the bottom to draw your eye down. Xxx
