Start Me Up Niagara & Tanya Jackson
Tanya Jackson began her knitting business in 2012 called Cronic Knitter Design. She is a graduate of Niagara College with a diploma in Creative Arts & Design. It was in high school that she began her creative endeavors with the art club doing murals on the school walls and that led to entering and winning top honors at a county fair.
Tanya runs a knitting guild (Stick'n Needle Guild) and helps with their social media. Additionally Tanya runs a knitting & crochet group at her church to help members learn to knit. She recently relaunched her business with a new name, Miss Tan's Creations as she has expanded to beyond knitting with her art and design.
