Hi! I’m Jenna, a knitting tech editor.

I collaborate closely with designers so they can publish clear, accurate, and error-free knitting patterns, resulting in a smooth and enjoyable experience for every maker.

  • Jenna is a dream to work with! I feel so much more confident in my work knowing that Jenna has gone over it. I tend to overcomplicate simple things, and translating processes that make sense in my chaotic brain to a functioning knitting pattern is often tricky for me. Jenna helps clarify what I mean and communicates it in a much more effective way. She even went the extra mile to create a style guide for my patterns to maintain consistency, even with other TEs. So not only do I know my math is correct and the pattern makes sense, but I know the grammar and punctuation are correct and consistent. I am so grateful to have Jenna working on my patterns!

  • As a first time pattern designer, I was a bit nervous about sending someone my design and wasn't really sure what to expect. Jenna made the process easy. Having a clear set of eyes go over everything really helped my pattern shine. Jenna's edits were clear to understand and I learned a lot. She pointed out when a section might be difficult for a knitter to understand, she checked my math, my punctuation, and consistency. Jenna helped me make my pattern look polished and professional. If you are looking for someone to tech edit your patterns, I highly recommend Jenna.

  • Working with Jenna Barron has been an absolute pleasure. She brought both expertise and attention to detail to my drop shoulder textured pullover design, helping me prepare clear, accurate schematics and charts for submission to The Knitting Guild Association. Her guidance made the technical aspects of the submission process smooth and stress-free. Jenna also tech-edited my stranded colorwork hat, Headliner, and thanks to her thorough review, the pattern sailed through testing with no issues raised by any of the testers. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and keen eye make her an invaluable collaborator. I look forward to working with her on future designs!
