Jessie
I’ve been crocheting since my great grandmother first handed me a hook at the age of 8. I’ve been knitting since my mid-twenties when my boss had to put a critique in my review, so he wrote, “It would be nice if she could knit.” I started off my professional life as a costume designer, creator, and pattern maker and I hold a BFA in costume design and technology and an MA in studio art focusing on painting and sculpture. Shortly after becoming a mother in 2007 I started Jessie At Home as a way to share the twins with my family. Eventually it evolved into a site full of patterns and fun for yarn lovers and crafters. I’ve earned several design awards and have been published in various on and off line crochet and knit publications. I’ve taught various fiber arts to students of all ages. I love seeing the light click when my students “get it” and nurturing the love of fiber arts in others. I firmly believes there can never be enough art and beauty in the world, and that knit and crochet soothe the soul.
Read What Other Experts Have to Say About Jessie
“Jessie is an amazing designer and teacher, and I’m privileged to call her a friend. I’ve learned a lot from her tutorials and still link to them as references on my own designs. She is inventive and is passionate about sharing her love of crafting. Jessie presents information in multiple ways because she understands that everyone learns differently. Her teaching style is always informative but also lively with lots of fun and laughter. She brings that same sense of fun to social events and is a lovely, honest, caring, and fun person. She’s just a joy to be around and to learn from!”
Pia Thadani: Stitches ‘N’ Scraps
“Jess has the most amazing heart for helping people. I asked a question about how to do foundation crochet and she did a whole video on it to help me understand it. She goes above and beyond the typical customer service and I never feel dumb when I ask a question. She has introduced me to so many new ideas … I am always in awe and always looking forward to the next thing she does because I know it will be amazing.”
Nikki Meade: Butterfly Boutique
“Jessie’s designs and the ways she styles them are influenced by her background in costume design. She explains things clearly so you’ll be able to make your own beautiful, unique, and stylish creations, too.”
Marie: Underground Crafter

Not at all. Members can get help with any pattern, providing it’s not so poorly written that it just needs a total re-write. We do respect copywrite and intellectual property, so you can’t just post the entire pattern, but there is usually a way to post what you need help with, without doing anything un-ethical.
