Welcome to the first-ever episode of Extra Stitch! I'm Jewell - Northknits knitwear designer, OML community founder, and this podcast is where we take a moment to knit our best lives by going deeper in convo and getting a little bit extra with who we are and what we do as makers. I love sharing topics around knitting, crochet, fiber, pattern design, lifestyle, biz chat, and more in my extra stitch newsletter and this pod feels like a natural next step. We're talking about why we should do things in our biz, brands, and endeavors with crazy launch confidence. I'm chatting about how Founded inspired me to hit record on this first episode, my fave yarns, and this year's hh americas craft show. Hang and listen with me for this half hour episode!
