Maggie Jackson was born on a small dairy farm in the rolling countryside close to the Linen Town of Lisburn in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. As a young child she would sit entranced, watching her mother's nimble fingers click needles through the long winter nights, Knitting warm wool sweaters for her husband and brothers... Maggie at six years old took up her own miniature set of needles and began her journey from quiet farmer's daughter to award-wining international Knitwear designer! Quickly becoming accomplished with her needles, Maggie began creating her own patterns and designs, cutting them from old newspapers on the kitchen table... Later, Maggie studied fashion at The College of Art and Design, and her post-graduate diploma in Fashion Knitwear was awarded the highest marks in the history of the college...
