The can’t-miss
event for
knit and crochet designers
in Fall 2025.
Cozy moments on the couch are cool, but you can’t launch and do everything from it.
You need support. Strategy. Fun. Encouragement.
We know that business strategy and social media management is a lot.
Our Maker Life is a one-day event for knitters + crocheters.
We’re excited to hang out
and we’re standing on business.
You need good vibes — and we’ve got vibes. You don’t have to knit and crochet alone.
Our events are curated for fun + business with you in mind. The yarn enthusiast looking to share more, the designer with a great idea looking for a spark, the advanced knitter or crocheter ready to evolve and grow into more greatness.

Knit The Plan
OML started with a dream
OML Founder, Jewell Washington, started the idea for Our Maker Life while riding the bus, knitting alone, on a frigid February day in Chicago. In that moment, she dreamed to connect with fellow knit and crochet designers and the chance to create and do business together.
She wanted a space where makers could talk about business, dream big, and show up authentically, whether new or experienced in fiber design, or even just a fiber hobbyist with a cool yarn stash, knowing community was key.
Jewell reached out to fellow makers to launch OML, and ever since she and the team have been standing on business and the belief that creativity for knitters and crocheters should be a meaningful online + IRL shared experience.
Whether we’re talking business or knit and crochet fun, we’re better when we hype and support each other.
OML became that dream turned community experience from one person to thousands of us. And our events keep growing because of you.
