Meet Jen...
Hi! My name is Jen and I'm the dreamer behind A Little Knitty Yarn Shop. I love everything about yarn and being an entrepreneur...so it's not shocking I dreamed of building a yarn shop! I'm a lifelong Washingtonian (despite the fact that I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but only lived there 3 months...so it doesn't count). My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was 12 and I made some really ugly things for many years, but I was SOOOO proud of them! When my son was born in 2008, knitting became a daily obsession...that's when I say I became a Knitter with a capital K!! I love sharing my passion for yarn and empowering others to tackle anything they want to make!
A Little Knitty Yarn Shop began in Downtown Auburn, Washington in 2016 and moved to Milton, Washington in 2024.
When I'm not knitting/crocheting/dreaming up new things for the business, you can find me off on adventures with my family (with yarn in tow!). I have a strange affinity for cake decorating videos (despite the fact that I cannot bake to save my life) and I love Thai food!
Hello! My name is Hilde Smith and I am super excited to begin working at Little Knitty. I am very impressed with Jen’s vision for the shop and the community and I look forward to being a part of her team.
I grew up in Minnesota. I earned a degree in microbiology at the University of MInnesota where I met my husband. I worked in the Microbiological Teaching Labs at the University of Minnesota for 5 years, then became a stay-at-home mom when my daughter was born.
We moved to Washington 22 years ago. I have a son in college studying to become an entomologist and my daughter is grown and just beginning a music teaching career. I started knitting about 12 years ago when my daughter wanted to learn.(Remember the Fun Fur craze?)
I now love knitting and want to learn everything I can about this hobby I’ve become so passionate about. I’ve knit hats, mittens, sweaters, stuffed animals, socks and shawls. I’ve tried double knitting, brioche, stranded colorwork, lace, and recently worked a steek into a Norwegian cardigan. I love figuring out the mechanics behind every stitch, and learning how different stitches work. This helps when it comes time to fix those inevitable mistakes! I may not always understand every stitch, but I sure do like to try.
My other interests include sewing, embroidery, baking, traveling, and hiking. I look forward to meeting everyone and serving the yarn arts community. I hope to learn a lot from all of you, too!
Hi! My name is Kris Brock and I’m so happy to be joining the team at A Little Knitty. I love to knit and have a passion for yarn so this is a good spot for me!
I grew up in CA but have lived in WA for 27 years. My husband and I raised 2 sons here in Auburn and we love this community. I was a para-educator in the Auburn School District for 10 years and continue to work in the district as a part-time substitute teacher.
Along with knitting, I love to cross stitch, read, cook, and especially travel with my husband, Steve. Knitting is always with me, especially on planes, and I have made a variety of things including sweaters, shawls, Christmas stockings, socks, gnomes, and many many baby blankets that I like to donate.
I still have a lot to learn about knitting but I love to be challenged and try new patterns and yarns. I want to learn how to crochet and weave. I am always encouraged when I hear about other people's projects, so please share them with me when you come into the shop.
Hiya! My name is Sherri Medina and I'm so excited to be apart of this amazing team.
I come from a very crafty family and my interest in knitting and crochet came from watching my Great Grandmothers, though I didn't actually learn until my Grandma taught me the basics back in 2009. Those early years were filled with only garter stitch scarves but the love of it was growing. Fast forward to 2016 when I met by chance the Lovely Jen Reeves and my world exploded with yarn! I took many classes, was addicted to the sit n stitch nights and fell in love with this communKnitty! My current favorite things to knit are sweaters and I am happy to be learning socks right now!
I married my wonderful husband Dan in 2021 and became a "cat mom" to our 2 kitties! We, along with my Father in law who lives with us, love to travel and I have discovered that the Cruise Life is for Us!!! We also love to host parties, and cook and bake up a storm.
I personally love to read, hang with my awesome friends, watch chiropractic videos, post a ton of food recipe videos, speak in movie quotes and make obscure nerdy references. If you feel like you don't fit in, then come sit by me!
I always love to see what people are working on and if you need an enabler then I'm your gal! ;)

I totally adore A Little Knitty! The selection of yarn is varied and high quality in a wide range of prices, and Jen is so friendly and nice and will help you to select patterns and yarn.
