Welcome To Fiber Flux!


Hello there and welcome to Fiber Flux, where we celebrate all things stitchy!  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm Jennifer, married to my best friend and am the mom of two beautiful children. I am also a knitter and crocheter with a background in fine art. Ever since I was a young child, I have had the need to make things. When I was in elementary school, I would make and sell handmade jewelry and was rarely seen without crayon or paintbrush in hand. Before discovering the joy of crocheting and knitting, I was an abstract painter and showed my work in galleries from time to time. 

I especially enjoy making things for children, those I know and those in need. It makes my heart sing to give my time and hand stitched things to children and babies who need the comfort and warmth of something handmade. I aim to design patterns that are both fun and easy to make with easy and clear instruction and bright joyful colors.
When not up to my elbows in yarn, I enjoy baking and decorating cakes for friends and family, getting lost in a good book, and spending the day wandering through museums. Thanks for stopping by!
For updates, fun projects, and pretty patterns, be sure to follow Fiber Flux with the buttons below...let's stay in touch!

    Hi Jennifer,
    I saw and saved your One Round hearts, eggs and stars to try. I'm not the best crocheter, but I try. When I tried the eggs and tiny stars your instructions baffled me. There's no indication in them as to which chain stitch to start in once the join is made with the slip stitch. Also, I had some extra Paton's Grace on hand and thought I'd try using it, but the 5 mm hook seemed so huge for that particular yarn. I switched to a smaller hook, still had a problem..especially with the very first stitch being a treble. I've got arthritis in my fingers...can you help me with some suggestions and more information? Thank you. If you'd like to email me, my AOL email is JRooney871@aol.com Thanks.

    Jennifer, just think of how many lives you have touched. Sharing your patterns, pictures, teaching,and time, and I can pay it forward. I know I can do these patterns, send it to someone who will feel comforted.
    I can give more often, and just keep knittin' and a givin. I really believe it makes a differance to add love & good wishes into knitting, or any craft. And somewhere a preemie will be sporting a funny hat, and everyone who looks at that baby will smile.

      Thank you so much for your sweet comment, you really made my day! :-) I completely agree with you too...there is no feeling like wrapping those you love and those in need in handmade warmth and love. It's like a hug that keeps on hugging! Keep knitting...you are changing the world one stitch at a time!

      Hmmm, not sure, but you can easily print only the content you want by highlighting on the needed text (and none of the stuff you don't need). Select "copy" with your right mouse button, then paste only what you want to a word document. That way you can print it on your own terms and ever save it for later.

I crochet a bit, nothing too big, as my attention span is quite short. I want to make some of your darling travel blossoms, they are so cute. Plus I think I can handle that size project. I want to make a Queen Anne's Lace crochet scarf someday.

    do you have patterns for hats of all sizes? something simple that is easy and not time consuming but is either masculine or feminine? I know the basics and would like to make hats for cancer patients at the local hospitals. My father and both of his parents my grandparents have had cancer which is why I would like to make hats. My father was always cold while going thru the chemo treatments and I thought a hat would be a nice gesture. thank you no I am not a member but my email is amandachristiandickey@gmail.com

    I am really excited to find your blog!
    I am just starting out in crochet and rekindling my knitting skills with a granddaughter on the way in February. Are your crochet patterns in UK or US terms? I am easily confused!
    Also on the Baby in Bloom baby knitted hats it says to use worsted weight yarn. I have done a quick search and in UK it seems equivalent to double knitting or aran wool and I gather it falls somewhere in between. Do you have any advice on this please?

    1. JenniferNovember 3, 2013 at 11:01 AM

      Hi there! Everything is in US terms, as far as yarn substitutions, I would definitely work up a small swatch to see if the gauge is similar.

      Congratulations too by the way!! :)

    Hi Jennifer: I love your blog...I am a crocheter and love making the large granny square blankets. I love your pattern for the Berry Season Blanket. I have a question, though, when it comes to making these types of blankets...how do you keep it from being crooked? I've made a few before and sometimes the center squares end up being a bit crooked, and then sometimes it's totally straight. Do you have any tips?

      Hi Kristin!

      Not really sure about it being crooked, perhaps the tension? Sometimes if my tension changes it makes my stitches a little crooked. Also make sure there is always a chain 1 between each cluster on a granny square, if it is missing it can squeeze the cluster together which could cause crookedness.

      Hope that helps!!

    I didn't know if you give any help or not. I've never had a problem with gauge, but I'm trying to make the Rock Candy Hat for my granddaughter and I can't get the gauge right. I 've tried using smaller needles and it still seems way to big. I get above 20 inches for the circumference of the hat after several inches. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

      Thanks for your question! Are you using a similar/same yarn too? If it is just slightly bigger, the hat is very forgiving and stretchy and will likely fit anyway. If it is still huge, I would continue to try an even smaller needle. I hope that helps!

    Hello Jennifer, I love your blog and especially the Cinnabar Button Scarf. I have two questions and I'm hoping you will get back to me. I'm a recent Grandma and I love it...Can the scarf be made to a width of 4"? I'm terrible at math so you will have to tell me how to do that, and secondly, can you tell me the width of the buttons? I'm crippled and cannot leave the house which is fine most days, but when I need a button, I need the width. Please keep the patterns coming. I knit for my DIL and my grandson with the big navy blue eyes...

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Jennifer. I wanted to say thank you for all your lovely patterns, blogs and tutorials. I’ve only been crocheting since October and your “Ingrid Scarf” was my very first project – so classy and easy to make. Being new, I find the video tutorials so helpful. Recently PlayOn came out with a way for viewers to cast the video to their large screen tv’s which is awesome. I can stitch, pause, rewind etc. Since I’m a huge fan of the Roku player and you, I used a snapshot of streaming your video on my newest blog post which you can see at the following link. I thought it might interest you and your followers to know they can stream your tutorials on their large tvs. http://cordcuttersview.blogspot.com/2014/03/playmark-by-playon.html Thanks again for all your inspiring patterns and tips!

    I love your blog! I am new to crochet but am completely addicted! In several of your videos like "How to Crochet the Meringue Cowl"...I see a beautiful wooden crochet hook. Can you tell me the brand or where to buy those? Thanks for all your help and wonderful posts!

    Hello Jennifer, I saw your Zinnia Flower Shawl and immediately loved it. I am working on this pattern right now. It is 40" across the shoulders and 38" down the sides....The point going down the back is getting way too long..and I need more length on the sides. ( covering my arms...) don't need any more length down the back. The more I crochet, the longer that back point gets. I followed the pattern step by step.
    Can you advise me on how to "rescue" this lovely scarf? I don't really want to rip out stitches........
    Thanking you in advance.

    Hi Jennifer. I just discovered your blog and love it! I am making your Mulberry Scarf using Lion Brand Tweed Stripes and I love the way it is turning out. Your videos are a great help. I watched your blocking video and in it you said you hadn't had much success in blocking acrylics. Since the Tweed Stripes is 100% acrylic does that mean I should not block the completed scarf? I have never blocked anything before and am just wondering. If you would like to email me my email address is dd1953@cox.net. Thanks for your help and wonderful patterns.

    Hi Jennifer, This is an awesome blog that you have created. I am a beginner beginner at this knitting and crocheting. I am in awe of the finger knitting. I never knew such existed and it is completely awesome and very easy. Would it be possible that you could send me some patterns on finger knitting? I would so love to make some things for my family and friends. My email address is blondie6871@gmail.com. I would greatly appreciate it. My grandmother has taught me how to knit but not how to read patterns so I guess I will have to figure out on my own. She has only taught me how to cast on and how to purl. I am wanting to learn more so that I can start making beautiful things. Thank you for taking your time to read my comment request.

    Hi Jennifer: Today I found your Youtube video on how to crochet a granny hexagram. I have been looking for a pattern for a hex forever, but many of them are too complicated. You gave clear and concise instructions every step of the way! Thank you for sharing your talent! I plan on putting your website in my Favorites under "Crochet" on my laptop.
    I also wanted to comment that it was nice to see someone else hold their crochet hook with the 'knife hold.' My Mom, who taught me how to crochet, used the 'pencil' method and it drove her nuts that I held my hook in a different manner! Thanks again!

    Dear Jennifer, I am learning to crochet due to your page, thank you for the video s and the plain English on your patterns, I did have to get a book to learn the verbiage of stiches, but still your page is my favorite, however I am having an issue with The Every Man Scarf, for some reason it is not coming out right, question could you increase your video with row four and five so I can see what I am doing wrong? Thank you again.

    Hi Jennifer,
    I just opened my Etsy shop two days ago (SharonChicBoutique), and of the twelve initial crocheted items I made, several were fashioned after your free patterns. I have provided your website for credit on each item and hope I did it right. I love your patterns and really enjoyed crocheting them, especially the Estelle Cowl. What an easy pattern! I am a beginner in crochet and visited you on You Tube to find out how to crochet the items. You are so easy to follow and I thank you so much.

Now I have a question: I want to make a shawl or wrap (what is the difference???) for summer. Which of your patterns do you think would be best for this type of project? I already have Caron Cake Yarn, medium weight, in a green/white/pistachio color scheme. Thanks much.

I would like to make a summer wrap/shawl (what is the difference??) with Caron Cakes medium weight yarn. Which of your patterns would you suggest I use? I'd like the item to cover my shoulders and upper arm, nothing too big or too small. Thanks!

I feel like I am so much better because you are such a good teacher. Something that I love to do is to put stitch patterns together with project patterns and make something truly unique. So thank you and please keep doing what you are doing! You are inspiring some really amazing things!
