Our Maker Life

good vibes. good yarn. good people.

Events for Makers, by Makers.

Meet up with other fiber artists to socialize, network and build friendships: all while highlighting and amplifying our brands and businesses.

OML is a movement built on crafting community and creating joy.

We’ve been a lot of cool places.

who we are

Our Maker Life is the passion project of Jewell Washington, also known by her design brand, NorthKnits. Jewell creates each OML event with a small team and local volunteers, building and celebrating around the energy and dynamic of the meetup city.

We aim to craft true live community, beyond buzzwords and social media posts. We welcome fiber artists and business owners, pattern designers, yarn dyers, industry leaders, content creators, and brand influencers in joining our mission to network, educate, inspire and create!

We love sharing your stories so much, we wrote a book:
