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

Text the Show! 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. 📌 Follow & listen to Kim’s podcast: 🔪 Slaycation (True Crime While on Vacation): https://slaycation.wtf 📱 Instagram: https://instagram.com/slaycationwtf 🧶 Kim’s personal crafting account: https://instagram.com/thatgirlknits 📘 Join their Facebook group: Slaycationers Only 🎧 Available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple, Spotify, etc. ✨ Want more magic and bonus chats?
