Knit A Spell

Ep 150: True Crime & Killer Yarns (Kim Davis / Slaycation Podcast)

Listen Later

What do social work, true crime, and knitting have in common? This week on Knit A Spell, I’m joined by the brilliant and hilarious Kim Davis—lifelong New Yorker, crafter, and co-host of the Slaycation podcast! 🧶🔪

Together, we explore how storytelling connects all of these worlds, how crafting can become a form of healing and reinvention, and why crafters are often drawn to the darkest tales.

🕵️‍♀️ In this episode:

  • 🩸 Kim’s journey from social worker to true crime podcaster
  • 🧶 How knitting helped her reclaim her identity after motherhood
  • 📚 What teaching beginners taught her about patience, perfection, and “forensic knitting”
  • 🎙️ The overlap between storytelling and crafting—and why both leave a legacy
  • 🧳 What makes vacations the perfect setting for true crime
  • 🔮 And yes… Kim crafts a killer vacation yarn-murder scenario just for us

    • 🧵 Whether you’re a true crime junkie, a fiber nerd, or both—this episode is packed with magic, wisdom, and a lot of laughs.
