Meet Jackie. She’s been knitting and making in Madison from a very young age. As a child, she bought latch-hook rug kits from The Knitting Tree before learning to knit at The Weaving Workshop. She took up sewing at Madison College along with pattern and draping classes. She’s taught knitting and has a podcast called Cady Jax Knits. Her experience has led her into knitwear design, teaching and hosting knitting events. This work has taken her from Seattle to New York and from Quebec to Edinburgh. Locally, she’s co-led retreats in Madison exploring color, style, and design.

We’re excited to see what Jackie brings to her residency especially after recently returning from Devon, England where she spent time knitting and writing in a small cottage surrounded by sheep.

You can explore Jackie’s designs on Ravelry as DOMINIROSE, her podcast on Youtube as Jax & Rose, and on Instagram @jdominirose where she shares her writing as well as her projects and patterns.
