answering all your questions i have been avoiding.. 

I got divorced at 26 with 2 babies in tow. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I was sad I failed at the relationship but leaving was for the best and that’s what really matters x

Having come to his channel through the home reno videos, the foreshadowing to the house is so entertaining

Your life has changed... Your wedding dress can change. Dye it... embellish it with crocheted accessories... make it something that you can wear whenever you want 😊

Nothing to do with the video but I want to thank you for being inspiring and different and unique to your own style. It helped me be more confident and creative in my crochet (and soon hopefully knitting) projects. I used to become upset if someone says they don't like the colors I chose or the design, now I think of you and your unique style and think that I should do what makes me happy regardless of what others think. That mindset really helps in making crocheting and creating things more fun. I hope you truly enjoy what you're doing because I'm sure you've helped others enjoy their crafts as well

You working as an art therapist in a care home would be amazing. I've volunteered in an art studio at a care home before - your energy would be so infectious!

being divorced (at any age) is so much better than being in a less than wonderful relationship for another day. kudos for acknowledging the status as soon as you did!

As a fellow young divorcee, I completely understand what you are trying to say. There is a certain self consciousness that comes with being young and divorced, and unfortunately I do notice a lot of people treat me differently. However, I try and remember there is a certain power is knowing yourself well enough and being self-aware enough at a young age to know when you need to move on. There is so much future to look forward to.

Being independent is liberating but addictive. It's difficult to move in with a partner once you've became independent and self sufficient. Good on you!❤

4 months later, watching this video and can't stop smiling at some of the answers. 4 months later, more moves, answers to some of these questions have been revealed, and a HUGE new project in the works. I'm new to your channel, but I am so happy for you.

My daughter is 13 and loves watching your videos 💜 she admires your determination and we're both learning to knit now 💜

Having started watching after you started renovating your house, this was interesting to see you pre-house.

I used to work in a nursing home and we had someone come in weekly to teach/ host a knitting group for the residents! You should look into this in your area!

I feel like it's definitely a compliment that you would make a great kindergarten teacher (at least I see it as one). To me that means you're kind, have a good sense of humour, creative, patient, but also resilient.

Honey I’m in my late 60s, just wanted to let you know, I love watching your videos. I’m so proud of you for being so amazing. Thank you, never change ❤🎉😊 Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤❤

I so agree with you being a primary teacher, that you would be great at it. Your way of speaking, your humor and your variation of dynamics while speaking is fantastic, - so it is NOT meant offensive, but as a compliment. I love, really, really love your videos. I "can't wait" for your new videos. You're awesome as a RU-vidr :-) This is from kind of an old woman +50 who loves crocheting.

I can’t wait until you’re done with your house and can look back at this video talking about your studio dreams ❤

I am 60 and I think you are amazing & creative & I really enjoy seeing all your creations. I am proud of all you have accomplished too. I was married at 19 & divorced at 21. I married my current husband of 34 years when I was 26. I never had children & that's okay too. I have friends who are divorced or spouse passed away & they never remarried or like me have no children and we are living fulfilled lives. Always be true to yourself. Do not worry about the opinions of others or their expectations of you. Keep doing what you love. Dogs are one of the best things in life. ❤️

I too made my wedding dress. And I too was divorced at 26. A lot of years later, I still have the dress and I still love it. Hang onto it, you don't have to wear it or even look at it - but one day, it probably will make you smile xx

I think if you wanna make a collab with your subscribers you could ask us to send you granny squares of a certain size (so that it's easier to connect them) and also I think it would be nice to establish a certain colour pallet that we should stick to because imho it looks better if you have a limited colour palett in your project instead of just throwing in every single color to have ever excited 😁 Love your channel! ❤ Watching you all the way from Russia

I don't know you personally Jenna but I can honestly say I am very proud of you. You have excelled in everything. Divorce is not easy and you came through that with such a great outlook and getting off the depressants is HUGE. I'm sure that you inspire others seeing all that you have accomplished. Great job girl. Love your videos.

Regarding the first question, I'd day to try continental knitting, it's easier if you already crochet. I've been teaching myself how to knit since December first and it's going very well, it's hard but with practice it becomes so much easier, so practice and don't give up

Thanks Jenna, for showing yourself so openly. And for being you. Felt a lot of responses to what you've shared. Will just act on one. The wedding dress. I am divorced since 1993........still have my wedding dress in deep storage. Did design it myself but had it made. Also costed a little fortune. About 2 years after I saw an almost copy of my dress in the window of the tailor's shop. Did not do anything, just let it be. But, still can not let go of the dress. Who knows this shared issue, may give me just that nudge to do it. Big hug, Simone

Wait. I’m kinda super new here, like this video is way older than my viewership, but how did we go from THIS to buying a house with Nick within a couple of months? Like, what? Who is Nick? You call him your partner and you bought a home with him, but you haven’t even been with him for a full year yet? No judgement, just some serious kudos to your balls!!! Sheesh!

Graphic designer for 20 years, now a care aide working with seniors. Best decision I ever made. So much more satisfying and I find other outlets for creativity.

Jenna, you're amazing! I can see you as a teacher also. You have a very caring spirit. 🧡

I'm glad you're doing well! Wishing you nothing but the best

Thanks for this video Jenna, it’s nice to learn a bit more about you. It’s because of you that I started sewing. You are proud of your projects even when they’re not perfect and that’s what I learned from you. Being proud because I made it myself and accept that things don’t have to be perfect. Thank you!❤

I am so happy you are feeling and doing ao well. I've watched your channel since a few videos in and can't believe it's been four years. You have come so far. ❤

I appreciate you being honest with us, Jenna. You're such an inspiration as a creator and a person. Because of you, I started crocheting and knitting. I just created a crochet storefront, and I couldn't have done it without you. I can't express how thankful I am for you. Love watching your videos and hanging out with you. Can't wait to see you next week. Much love, Ashley

I am so happy you were able to realize how much you have accomplished, and to know that you feel really good about it. I was a little bit worried about you a year ago because you seem just kind of sad-but you had a reason to be. I think you have come along ways, and you have every reason to be pleased with the progress you have made as a person and a woman and a business person and a dog mom and a Canadian. I have no right to be proud of you, but I am so pleased for you.

I found your videos while going through my own divorce at 26 and I just want to say I've really enjoyed your content. It's inspiring to see someone my age, in a similar position with all you've accomplished, thank you! 😊

I’ve been following you since forever and I’m INCREDIBLY PROUD of how good you’re doing and how hard you work on everything you do. You inspire me SO much to be myself to the fullest and I couldn’t thank you enough. Honestly happy to hear that you’re feeling good mentally, you truly deserve the world❤

Thanks for chatting with us jenna! You are so much fun and such a light in this world and so inspiring I can't wait to see what comes in 2024

how courageous of you to answer all these personal questions. I have two ideas: auction your Wedding Dress for a good cause of your choosing or to jumpstart your studio, which is nr2: could be a storage box somewhere and set it up as you like? they can't be that expensive if everyone just uses them for their things ;-) good luck for the future and the BF (or GF) too many winks to be subtle ;-)but I'm glad for you

i love u jenna. you inspire me and have definitely changed and enriched my life since i found you two years ago. so happy to see you bloom and shine 🫶🏼

Makes my day when you make new videos Jenna💕☺️

Teacher is definitely a compliment.

I love you soo much Jenna! I have had a really hard time at school this year and found it very hard to honestly express my creative self and felt that my "friends" never understood how I was feeling. You have given me confidence to just be myself, because standing out and doing what I love is wayyy more important than just fitting in :) I hope you have a great Christmas!! (also I love how you are always making things for little Jack and Benson, they remind me of my bootiful doggo, Rupert) ♥

Hii jenna, love your videos!! !They make my days a lot better❤

You’re the reason i got in to knitting and I’m so grateful to have found your channel. Keep on rocking girl you’re doing great.

I've been watching your videos for so long and somehow the track and field scholarship just makes sense. You remind me so much of myself, I too went to college on a track and field scholarship to study graphic design. I'm actually now a tattoo apprentice and my style is exactly the kind of tattoos you have! I crochet so much that my nickname at my tattoo studio is Mittens! Makes sense that I look up to you so much:)

The way the little dog just makes himself at home on your lap 🥰

You are def in a happy place! And the happiness of new ❤ is shining thru. 🎉🎉🎉 Way to go New Jenna!!

If you know and are comfortable crocheting -- I can recommend trying to learn continental style knitting! The movements with your hands and how you hold the yarn is much more similar to crochet!

I like the way you deal with LIFE issues,and how honest you are. You are a talented asset to the RU-vid community! Faith Falcone

I think I got divorced at like... 23? So I definitely relate to the feeling like you have to qualify it or defend it somehow. But now 10 years on I've had time to reflect, and I think it's just such a normal thing -- it can feel like (and even be) the 100% right decision at the time to get married. But then you grow as people, and your understanding of yourself and you needs evolves... and sometimes that just doesn't line up anymore. I hate that we treat divorcees as damaged goods, or like failures. You did something that felt right at the time, and you stopped doing it when it didn't feel right anymore. That's all it is. Unrelated but I also went to a concert by myself when I was newly single and living on my own, absolutely was a 10/10 experience!

You just don't know how magnetic you are! Got hooked on you the first time I saw you creating and working so hard. Wish you a very successful life!!

I am very proud of you. Thank you for updating us with your life. Love all that you do and always amazed with projects you share. ❤💃🎉💪👊💥

I didn't know what to do with my wedding dress either. I ended up donating it to an organization that makes baptism gowns for stillborns.

Jenna, I don’t knit, or crochet, or sew (most of my crafts are paper crafts) but I love your energy SO much. I love the quirky ones, and you are A+ quirky, just like all the best people are. 🥰

Thank you so so much for your videos! It amazes me how I’ve never met you in my life and you’ve never met me, but I genuinely enjoy seeing you happy and successful ❤ I started watching you in 2020 and you’ve been a huge inspiration to me. I love how this video felt like a best friend girl talk!! So excited for you and your bright future!

Don't ever be embarrassed about getting divorced young. I had 4 children before I was 30 and then got divorced, it was nasty. Now, nearly 16 years later, and a lot of heartache and hard work I was able to buy my own home, nearly 6 years ago, and that was after being homeless for nearly 2 years. If you can grow from your life experiences that is the most important thing. Who you are isn't measured by what you have, but it's how you were able to deal with situations, work with what was dealt and then ultimately come out the other side proud of who you are😊 PS if I wasn't running 2 online stores, and a sanctuary with my youngest daughter, who is nearly 21, I'd also love to work with the elderly. Something so special about them ❤

This was such a lovely video! I am so happy you are happy, and seeing your videos pop up on my notifications always makes me happy too! ALSO, an idea for a community project could be a big blanket made out of granny squares from your subscribers! I think that would be so awesome! Thanks for the amazing content, you inspire me to be more creative :)

Listening to you while I'm crocheting may be one of my favorite ways to spend my days off but not today lol, I'm bored at work and saw the notification, reports can wait, Jenna nope

Jenna, sweet, honest , determined, power house, beautiful inside and out Jenna! Taking time to connect with us is a gift. Thank you. I have been watching your vids for a long while and I am over the moon that our paths will cross in January. My project basket is always full and ready for any coffee date .Have a very Merry Christmas and keep on having another extraordinary amazing year. Hugs!❤️

I absolutely love your videos and you energy, keep on rocking Jenna:)))

I cant tell you how much you inspire me ❤ you have a pure heart ♥️ i love you so much girl 🤗

So inspiring ❤ thank you, Jenna

Good luck on the project you're starting in January! I'm sure you'll slay

It’s been great getting to know you ! Love you & your work ❤

Jenna I challenge you to actually go and knit with the old ladies! I tried it and now it's the best part of my week. I'm sure they would love to have you. Good video idea maybe?

You are very inspiring to me. Im 24 now, and im learning a lot life wise and crafting wise and i find the fact that you are divorced at 26 and living on your own to be very brave and wonderful. It shows what risks you’re willing to take to protect your heart and be your best self. You fucking rock!!

Praying your buddy is with you for the full adventure !! Enjoy the partnership and the companionship GOOD LUCK

Jenna, the wedding dress you designed and sewed is some of your very best work. When you stop associating it with the divorce and remember that it is simply one of your brilliant creations to be showcased and admired, then you will realize that you would likely regret disposing of it. It's fine in storage, right where it is. As someone who walked in very similar shoes at your age, I can tell you from experience, your perspective will change significantly in the many decades ahead of you. You have a whole lot of life yet to live. The lovely gown you created is just fine tucked away in storage to serve some later, as yet unknown, purpose. You can let go of the emotions and still hold tight to the dress you created. I still enjoy having mine 50 years later when all it brings to mind are good memories.

Jenna, you don't know how I value these types of videos in which you decide to trust and tell us your personal things. You came into my life in which I was very depressed and uninspired. With your beautiful charisma and creativity you inspire me in every video. I send you kisses from Argentina🇦🇷, I hope you have been able to understand my English, which by the way I am learning thanks to listening to you and Taylor Swift's songs

Yay to going to concerts alone, and getting comfortable on one's own

Ha! I got divorced @ 27. Best decision I ever made! (I'm 77 now) Remake the dress.

Thank you soo much for your honesty. I have only been crocheting for about a year and one of the main things that I have learned from you is to just be myself. I have soo many different ideas of what to create and yet I have always been afraid of what people would think . I love who you are and what you create. I could definitely see you working with the Elderly folks. You have such a sweet personality and you have alot of patience 😊 Thank you for being you Jenna.❤

I love watching your videos. You are inspiring. Keep being strong. Love the crochet projects.

Jenna, you are quite an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

I just wanna say that you can and should be proud of yourself! See what you've accomplished on such a young age. When I was you're age I was definitely not that independant. Good job. Also, I think you feel more grown up that people your age, maybe because of all the things that happened. I think it's really inspiring to see that.

I’m very proud of you too. Love your channel ❤️😁🌹

Remake your wedding dress into something you will wear. You made it with love and came to realize your new direction in your life after wearing it. Honor your journey and remake it into something amazing.

Love the video Jenna! I just wanted to say when you went to Noah Khan by yourself it was super motivating for me. It just so happened that that video came out a few days before I went and saw him by myself because I just moved and didn’t know anyone who would go with me. I was feeling really apprehensive about it, but seeing you have such a good time was the push I needed and I ended up having a blast, so thank you!!

You are wonderful, you should be proud of yourself💕❤️💕

We are very proud of you Jenna. You are a great example of an independent woman rocking it!❤❤

Jenna, I follow you here since around the time you moved to your last apartment before this one, and I just wanted to say that to me you seem so much more self-secure, self assured and just less lost than maybe a while ago, and that is just so nice to witness and honestly you rock. I totally see you in a big studio with different creative areas and big windows and just you being you. I enjoy watching your stuff a lot and always get a happy boost when King Benson appears, or Jack just doing Jack-things, haha. Appreciate you

Its so surreal watching this at 14:59 after finding your channel from your reno series!

So Glad you did this video and really uplifting, have a great Holiday Season and hope to see you do some more travel in 2024

Jenna! You are such a huge inspiration ❤

I also found your channel from the renovation videos and I wanted to watch this to see more about the person who was brave enough to tackle that massive project. I know it can be tough, but you should be proud of yourself for recognizing the things that weren't working for you (old relationship, old job) and creating something better. I wish I had been as brave and self-aware at your age, but I'm doing so now!

Ah, care home work. That's soooo sweet. I love my visits there playing music or bringing students in. Sweet moments.

Thank you for explaining how independent you have become. I got divorced a long time ago and struggle with recognizing how strong i really am. My divorce came after a 20+ year marriage. I have 3 adult children (even older tha you are!) And it is still hard to recognize my strengths. But you, Jenna, have given me a new way to look at myself. THANK YOU😊

C'est merveilleux que tu puisses vivre de RU-vid ! Ainsi, tu offres du bonheur aux autres ! Merci !

Your couch is to die for! I’m a designer and have wanted on since my 20’s (60 this year). Enjoy it!! It will last forever

Jenna , keep the wedding dress and dont worry about it. You dont have to do a thing with it but if you really feel you need to do something with it you could rework the dress for something you can just wear.

Canadian here, I am in Ontario. I am subscribed to your channel. I love the dress you made with the crocheted flowers.

Giiirl ❤️❤️❤️Sending all the love. Also divorced, also a creative. Time to celebrate you and figure out where you would like to be! 💗

I just love Benson and Jack. I have two large dogs and they think they are lap dogs. You still keep me smiling!

So proud and impressed that you were able to get off your meds. I have battled axiety and been on a daily med for the past 30 years. I tried to go it without the med, but after 3-4 months, the axiety and panic crept back in.

I am a 74 year old in Missouri and enjoy your videos very much. The house renovation you are doing with Nick is awesome. (He is a cutie too and easy on the eyes!) I was divorced twice by age 33, but decided to remarry at age 36 and I do not have children by choice. We have been married for 38 years now and are very happy.

you-are-so-sweet-jenna!!! wish you the best today and forever 🫶🍀

Enjoy your channel. LOVE the coats made from quilts. Merry Christmas from Tennessee USA. You are adorable. I've been sewing for 65 years and I continue to learn things from you. Also, long time crocheter. Please make sure you distinguish between knitting and crocheting I'm not sure viewers know the difference. Looking forward to a great year from content from you. I'm also an avid thrift shopper and recycler. Have not bought new clothes in years. This allows me to live debt free thus stress free. Lots of love your way.

I work with elderly people and its pretty great. I crochet with them and chill and watch the wheel of fortune ...after I help them with their ADLs of course. "George, one cookie!" Is actually super accurate 😂

Thank you, Jenna! 🥰 ❤

You’re so inspiring Jenner

this video is so fun to watch with all the little hints about the abandonned house!

Big Project - 3 years - "Maybe I'll build a house next month" - YESSSssss can't wait to watch this.

I found your channel because of the house renovation and have been going back to watch older videos. Glad I found your channel!

Ik ben per toeval op je video gekomen een tijdje geleden … ondertussen heb ik ze bijna allemaal gezien … ik hou zo van hoe je jezelf blijft en hou enorm van je persoon en je werk… ik ben door jouw ook beginnen haken en breien en heb ondertussen al een paar sjaals af voor cadeau te doen met kerst en ben bezig aan een heel cozy pull … bedankt voor je video’s kijk er steeds naar uit en haal er heel veel uit dikke knuffel s voor jouw bason en Jack ❤❤❤ vanuit België en by the way ik ben ook gescheiden op 27 ( maar met een baby in plaats van met een hond 😅) dus je bent zeker niet alleen en ik voelde me er ook niet zo rot over als dat sommige mensen dachten … voor iedereen is er een juiste weg 😘 en je trouwjurk is / was super mooi ( als het die was van de video ? ) en ik zou die nooit weg doen als ik van jouw was ,ik heb de van mij. Ooit terug gekregen van mijn ex en vind dit super spijtig … ook al was het geen mooie tijd van het scheiden … maar die dag was voor mijzelf wel bijzonder en ik mis die jurk toch 😢 ALS je die van jouw dan toch weg wil doen wil ik ze wel kopen ( voor een juiste prijs natuurlijk ) want die van jouw kan je ook aandoen op een leuk feest ale dat zou ik toch durven 😅 die is echt super mooi
