I learned to knit in college and launched northknits in 2014. I pursue simple living through my passion for DIY, pattern design, stacking my yarn shelf, and providing business and entrepreneurial advice to fellow crafters. As the founder of Our Maker Life, a global maker movement, I’ve connected more than 120,000 fellow fiber creatives in the knit, crochet, and yarn industry. I reside in Chicago, Illinois and enjoy traveling + sweet cuddles with my kitten Dewey.
