I’m a crochet and knitting instructor located in Ashland, VA. My maiden name was Jennifer Crowley. I teach crochet and knitting along the east coast in addition to designing in both knit and crochet. Click here for my class schedule.

I first learned to crochet when I was 7 years old, and learned knitting when I was 8. The rest has snowballed from there. I was never one to follow directions easily.

My designs are most often quirky, classic and thoughtful. I love to take a technique or motif or idea I’ve just discovered, then twist and push it until it becomes a design. If you are interested in being notified of my new designs as they come out, please sign up for my newsletter.

Let me know if you are working one of my designs! I love living vicariously through my customers!

NOTE: There are two Jennifer Raymond’s that design. The other one is over here, in case you were looking for her.

I do reply to Ravelry messages, but in a less timely fashion. If you need to get ahold of me quick, email me at info@tinkingturtle.com
