Networking
for fiber creatives.
Our Maker Life events launched from a dream to network and socialize with fellow makers. Since 2016, we’ve launched OML meetups from NYC to Portland to Calgary for a weekend of inspiration + business.
-
The OML Virtual Summit was a one-day online event for knitters, crocheters, designers, and creative entrepreneurs ready to grow with intention. Let’s talk about the future of fiber and what’s possible when creativity meets clarity.

OML 2026 Chicago Live Event will be an immersive business weekend complete with creativity, community, and meaningful conversations.

Create.
Dream.
Make.
We believe knitters and crocheters are going beyond dreaming in craft rooms—they’re building modern creative businesses and communities. Our Maker Life is where we come together to move beyond the dream and reimagine what’s possible for handmade. Invest in a weekend immersed in presentations, panels, and mixers as we explore how creativity becomes commerce, how artistry shapes industry, and how modern makers are designing the future of fiber together.
