i tried free hand crochet for the first time..

[@earsybun]

three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and jenna overestimating the rate at which she can complete a project. and it's one of my favorite parts of your videos, please never change

[@lucyrosekenney]

that’s an awesome quote

[@lisamorris4108]

I love that and your right❤😊

[@norah.joanne]

I always get this happy feeling when jenna posts a new video. Her vibes just make me so happy:)

[@karentzn]

Totally agree

[@elh22.28]

I know! Her channel always has positive vibes and she's so inspiring! 😊

[@michalecorbs0210]

Agreed

[@youremyfavoritesong9868]

I always have to get out a project and work on something with her! It’s really cozy

[@LucyLoser945]

Sameeee

[@zuza2857]

its so funny to me that Jenna made a sketch for something that's supposed to be a free hand project haha

[@Kenjiiseverything]

The idea of Netflix series where Jenna crochets and talks about life and self improvement and stuff is just so awesome ❤😊

[@janesheridan5632]

Well Jenna, you did it again. Another master piece next to the flower dress. You need to have a special show for all your original pieces. Thank you for sharing.

[@BarnaliD]

I was just thinking, that flower dress is like a museum piece!

[@janesheridan5632]

I so agree!!!! @@BarnaliD

[@marzmall0]

This is a adhd crocheters dream! I could NEVER sit through making a whole sweater but you can take your time with no guidelines and have little victories *dopamine boost* with this method. I love it 😍

[@GemmaW-l4q]

yesss but then the ends....

[@marzmall0]

@@GemmaW-l4q I like to crochet over the ends as much as possible! Helps lessen the load so there aren’t as many at the end ☠️

[@okgoose]

i started making a moss rug for this exact reason, i can crochet random patches willy nilly, make little pom poms and whatever else i feel like andd just sew everything to the mat, it's so fun ad looks so cool!

[@helenm1085]

​@@GemmaW-l4qI'd get around that by making myself a rule that I can't start the next colour without weaving in an end... Although actually when I made crochet hats I trimmed the ends short and made a very multicoloured hat where the ends stick out like little bobbles 😂 I actually loved how it looked so much that I made a whole bunch and sold a few!

[@isaleal4597]

Seems to me Jenna has the vibez

[@abrilbedoya9274]

I always doubt your color choices until I see it all together and it looks amazing! I should know better by now 😂

[@JennaPhipps]

Honestly, same

[@kathleenhensley5951]

She's got that magical color sense that some people are endowed with. I have it too. I'm always shocked when one of my scrap yarn shawls actually looks like a sane person planned it.

[@hijab.t.s13]

BACK TO CROCHETING after 2years beacuse of your new vids wow you are a legend jen.

[@margaretbailey8541]

I'm 70, a newbie with crochet since retiring 7 yrs ago...and girl you inspire me to give it a go!!! love your energy - wish i was younger and crocheting much sooner. Keep up the good work!!

[@ok3434-e8r]

I also think this concept would be so cool in a monochromatic color, but with different stitches as the switches.

[@justjenny4680]

Jenna loving this new life journey for you! It seems to be just sparking your creativity! I am almost 40 and I have 3 very young kids so I find my creativity stifled atm. But I know this is just a moment in time. Love seeing all the beautiful things you make! Thank you for posting

[@maireadheffernan9943]

Jenna, I am a 49 year old women living thousands of miles away, but I find your attitude and creativity such an inspiration. I stumbled across your channel by pure chance, I am sure glad I did. I used to try to be so meticulous and perfect whilst crocheting and knitting, that i would rarely get a project completed. Now your "can do" and "Bob's your uncle" attitude, have given me the impetus to be more productive and trust myself more and just go with it. Your free hand vest is so cute, I love it. Love your bright happy personality and sense of humour. Cheers from Ireland.

[@cheri6785]

Your attitude towards what other people think is so damn healthy and I’m HERE FOR IT❣️💞 Your best is super duper cute and inspiring! Thank you Jenna💞

[@JeMy569]

I love your fuzzy sweater that you’re wearing… s soft & pretty on you! I’d love to try free hand crochet sometime… your doggies are sooooo adorable( they have the GOOD LIFE because of you!) your channel is so happy & interesting!

[@annavanderwal990]

Currently sewing a crochet granny square blanket together and now I’m inspired!! Your video is getting me trough it!

[@Sophie.35]

My favorite thing about Jenna is her “heehh?” When she asks you what you think. It’s so funny.

[@fr3ya697]

I love to see how you are exploring your creativity in new ways! Great video as always ❤

[@JocelynAlau]

That little jump at the end is exactly how I feel every time I finish a wearable! I have been thinking about freeform crochet a bit recently also. This video is good inspiration :)

[@beckyjohnson9917]

Jenna you are so amazing and you keep me so busy😂 I crocheted a hexagon cardigan, and now I’m going to have to do a free form vest. I do appreciate your Podcasts, and all the work you do to entertain us and teach us. 🤗😉

[@hannaha1474]

For my on-the-go knitting, I have a fanny pack and keep a vanilla or vanilla-aligned sock in there at all times on either a 9 in circular or magic loop with a 50g cake. It’s so easy to walk around with and take on the bus or train or wherever, and you don’t have to worry about losing it. It gets done when it gets donw

[@JeraASMR]

Just seeing that Jenna has posted a new video makes my week❤️

[@beththoreson9216]

Crocheting and knitting are definitely therapy for me! I love all of your creative projects!

[@dovaillancourt]

Very cute. I like it too ! I like haphazard pieces that have character.

[@ivyw5106]

i would watch that netflix sieres RELIGIOUSLY. also i love the idea of freehanding with a backround of clothes you like and i will probably do it in the near future. love you jenna :)

[@elisewolf1640]

Your style is so different than what I am used to seeing but I love it! You pull it off so well

[@DesareeClark]

I like that you include things like lunch breaks.

[@shirleycarter2451]

Not seen free crocheting done using granny squares before, always in spirals and circles. You've made this really well as so many more people might have a go now. Loved your inspiring chats, just wish I was like you in confidence at your age. ❤❤❤ Ps, think a striped hem/edging around arms and bottom could work well.🤔❤❤❤

[@Purlytricotyarn]

I normally just crochet over my ends and that way I don't have that much to weave in afterwards. I love how this turned out.

[@ashboheme]

My mood automatically gets 100x better when i watch your videos

[@chelseacrochets_]

Everytime a new video comes out I squeal with joy. You are my favorite fiber artist and I love watching your blogs as I work on my WIPS. Just adoreeeee you and wanted to leave some love 💗

[@ninjalikestoast]

This is such a beautiful sweater, absolutely love these videos. It did however remind me that I've adopted Jenna's "heh?!" into everyday life and I hadn't realised that until just now

[@Dalal0690]

I really love it. I wish that you added some circular shaped that would be unimaginable. Actually, you did a great job since you done that in four or five days it’s really incredible .

[@Illuminatelight]

I agree with your philosophy on doing/wearing what you love. You cannot go wrong living from your heart. Honestly, I wasn’t really sure about your colour ❤combinations, but I must tell you how much I love it! Your vision is amazing! Love you Jenna❤🕊

[@c0ldlight1]

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this- But ITS BEAUTIFUL. especially with that matching collared shirt underneath- it just is absolutely wonderful.

[@wandasteiner8908]

You always make me smile! Sooooo Cute! Love it! You are so off the cuff! Always a great time watching you!

[@artessica5492]

Jenna! Love this project! The therapy, the journey. I learned recently that you can crochet your ends in?!? Game-changer! As you change yarn, you lay the strand on top of the stitches you are about to crochet into and hide them lil' buggers inside your work. 🎉

[@xulialechuga9105]

Loved this video and loved the result! I don't usually comment on any videos but I felt the need to say how much you inspire me with your projects as a person who doesn't wear or make many colourful clothes! Thank you Jenna 🥰

[@Katiesgotmail]

Jenna, what makes you a good positive role model is that you celebrate the small achievements. It’s important to do and I’m grateful you radiate this as a creator. Congratulations on this project ! ❤

[@PelinAyter]

I should've watched this yesterday when I was too depressed. Now the only thing I'm depressed is I'm lacking more people like you IRL :o) Lovely piece & perfect vibes

[@QuinCrowe]

Jenna I love your work and the videos are sooo fun!!! A random tip I like to use (and you might find helpful) for avoiding weavining in some ends is using magic knots when changing colors. I hate having to weave in ends and this has been such a time saver! Thanks for all the fun content and I hope this helps anyone reading!!! :)

[@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635]

Was not feeling it at first, but it turned out so cool. Wow, you did a great job.

[@DemiAisha]

I've been watching your videos for months now, i just saw that the subscribe button wasnt pushed yet, i literally made a shocked face for it. Ofc I pressed it. Your videos always come in my reccomended when you post

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

Have you seen freeform crochet? Similar concept but you make lots of organic shapes with a variety of stitches and pin them to a base pattern and adjust until you like them then sew them together. It looks really awesome!

[@andreaschroeder9122]

❤❤I JUST LLLLLOOOOVVVEEE YOUR ATTITUDE AND YOUR PERSONALITY AND YOUR SPIRIT!!!! You ALWAYS make me SMILE AND LAUGH!!!!!! I always look forward to your next videos!!! Please just Keep being you!!!! 😊❤🎉🐼

You did a Fantastic job on that vest. I could never do that without a pattern. Can not wait to see what you make next. I love watching you crochet.

[@AnjolaAdewumi]

I think the whole Self-development thingy is...AMAZING!!🤩

[@Wildflowerkat]

I loveeee the way it came out!!! I love your outlook on clothing, you are 100% right all that matters is that you like it even though it’s SICK!!!! You always make bold choice that end up looking sooo great! Amazing!

[@marjeannie]

every time i watch a video from you i want to crochet so bad, no matter if i already crocheted multiple hours that day

[@laurajackson6860]

Jenna, you are a marvel. Thank you so much for sharing your genious, energy and successes with me.

Really cute vest! I may try this!💜💜💜

[@kpopsweetlemon1396]

Your videos are so comforting.

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

I am crocheting as I watch Jenna crochets. My project is very different from Jenna's and I've been working on it for about 2 weeks. I weave in my ends as I crochet because I've learned that I'll put off weaving them in and never finish. Jenna would make that into a life lesson.

[@erge_e]

i love watching your videos while crocheting 🌿(i'm making a folklore cardigan right now!) it feels like you're chatting with me

[@TheRafaelath]

I always turn your videos on while crocheting, but you are so magnetic that I end up just watching the whole video with a needle in my hands 😅 Great content ❤

[@crystalroseblue6760]

I do freehand knit blankets.And freehand crochet blankets ,throw rugs table covers etc ,found years back doing it by patten was frustratingly irritation. So freehand relaxed me.I can make many things.😊

Fantastic! You are awesome!!!!💃 I crochet or knit during my daily walks.

[@janetwhited7637]

I look forward to Jenna's videos, she's awesome to watch.

I knew it you were gonna try this technique! it turned out so good!

[@lf100]

Freehanding looks so fun! If u enjoyed it, please show us more :D

[@patriciahamel5674]

As a fan of regular Bernat Softee, who has been trying to only stick with natural fibers and natural fiber blends for the past few years, I will definitely be buying some Bernat Softee Cotton this week! Also, If you want to exercise and crochet at the same time, I have found that a recumbent bike is perfect for that. You are sitting, so you don’t get dizzy or crash into anything, but you are still getting a lot of cardio and leg exercise.

[@_._moonstoned_._]

i DO crochet "with jenna" and i AM learning to love myself!

Great looking free-style vest. lovely work, Jenna. Laurie

[@luna_11204]

6:33 This reminded me something my grandma told me a while ago. She said that cats and dogs usually eat grass or plants when they feel sick. As they can't tell their parents/people that care of them when they´re sick, they find an easy way to get whatever is making them feel bad, and that's throwing up. So it might be something to think about if your dog or cat is eating a plant/grass and you feel they might be a little down or sad/different. Hope you get what I mean, I tried my best to explain myself in english (not my first language +I'm still learning) 💜

[@Alice-jq6rd]

so excited to click on this video!! i've been wanting to make one of these but had no idea how to go about it. jenna always makes the most beautiful pieces and it helps so much with figuring out how i want to do things

[@karentzn]

[@inspiredinspirations]

Wow! Awesome job. Looks perfect on you.I recently subbed to your channel. Thanks for the honesty and inspiration.

[@cranberry420]

I'd love to try this, but with lace weight yarn. Like... Making lace parts before crocheting them all together. Kind of like irish lace crochet!

WOW! it's impressive. Looks very cool. This thing is unique, just like you are ❤

[@dejahdanger]

I love how it turned out.

[@Kohl1D4Life]

The great thing about freehand crochet is that, for each patch, you can use any yarn you want, any hook you want, any stitch you want, and the piece can have any shape amd dimensions you want. You can stop at any time and decide that "this patch is finished!" And then, once you decide you have enough patches, you get to assemble it like a puzzle!

[@alexandrahhh789]

I have a tip for avoiding weaving in ends! Have you heard of the “Russian join” ? Seriously a game changer for me! Idk if it works for every situation, but now whenever I’m changing colors, especially freehand/freeform crochet, I like to do the Russian join as I go and then there’s basically no ends to weave in at the end!

[@Myasimagination]

Thank you for helping me find yarnspiration and thank you yarnspiration for sponsoring my girl

[@teresawilliams662]

I actually love this vest. I think it may be some of your best work. It looks amazing. I would buy it.

[@yetipup5871]

It looks fabulous! Love how daring you are to try out your ideas. Have you considered Post stitches to make the ribbing at the armholes, neck and hem? They would add an edging similar to the white vest.

[@kskc1234]

So cute Jenna! Lets face it, anything looks cute on you! I do think Target would love this item, definitely reminds me of their Logo. They can have the little factories in China make it and it would sell like hotcakes and you get your rituals! Sold, deal done!

[@SysCraftyCreations_]

I love your channel. I find a lot of inspo from you! i started my own channel and posted my first video last week!
