Jeré (Winnipeg, Manitoba):

Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Jeré is the maker behind The Knotty Menno. She began crocheting in 2011 while working night shifts, eventually turning her passion into a business in 2019. Jeré creates handmade crochet magnets and kitchen scrubbies that are both practical and thoughtfully made for everyday use. Growing her business has allowed her to be a stay‑at‑home, homeschool mom while continuing to share her creativity. Each piece is handcrafted by Jeré with behind‑the‑scenes support from her husband and older children, making The Knotty Menno a true family effort.
