ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Pam Jackson Street Cat Designs 

Pam learned to knit, crochet, and do beadwork from her grandmother when she was six. Her skills came in handy over the years, including a time when she traded two hand-knit sweaters for a car to get around with her young daughter. After her daughter grew up, Pam decided to turn her craft into a successful business and Street Cat Designs was born. Now a full-time maker, she enjoys connecting with others at markets, especially those that share her love for handmade creations.
