Hi there! I’m Dawn! 👋 I’m a knitter, book lover, and super nerd. I live in NC with my wife, my son, our sweet pup, and a very sassy cat.

Hoping to connect with others in the knitting, fiber arts, and book communities. 🧶📖🤓

You know it’s gonna be peak shenanigans when a party member pulls out their deck of illusions. 😂 It can only go right when they throw out a wyvern at a funeral. 🐉

Oooo that’s a great idea!!! 🥰

Here’s spin #2, a soft peachy pink, and spin #3, a rich foxy brown. I can already see an improvement in my drafting & consistency between the two! They’re small amounts, so I’m not quite sure what to make yet—maybe a fun shawl with some handspun accents? Any ideas?

*can’t try it on

When your test knit sweater matches your pup. 🐶

It’s super fun to knit up but a little scary since it’s bottom up and I can try it on.

Thanks! I was looking for something that was a stash buster and like a fun journal. Another great idea for book knitters is this pattern my friend just released called The Book Snake by Han Lee. Each stripe of the snake is a different genre or book. It’s so cute.

Ooooo that’s a great idea!

Some highlights from my reading blanket. Sadly I can only share 4pics at a time here but this month I added roughly 20 different stripes to the blanket between what me and my wife read. 📖

Pattern: Jelly roll Blanket DK

I just saw this pattern release and I love it. I’ve been searching for a pattern for this gorgeous black, teal & purple hand dyed yarn I bought on vacation and this pattern would be perfect. Your look gorgeous!! 💚💚💚

Yep. That’s how I do it, there might be a more efficient way. I’ve seen people use a ball winder and I did try it but I struggled. If it was more yardage a winder might be quicker but I’m only spinning small amounts right now. 😍

I also raided our recycling bin and found a tube for gift wrapping I will be repurposing. Such a $ saver. 😍

First half has been spun and put on its “bobbin”. 💚 Now on to the second half.

It’s from Dicha. Came in a starter set my wife got me for Christmas.

Thank you so much! 💚 I’ve actually surprised myself. Must be all those tutorials I’ve watched. 😂

daemonknits.bsky.social @daemonknits.bsky.social · Jan 30

I feel like I’m getting into a better rhythm with my beginner spinning. Also this is fun to do while we watch Pop Culture Jeopardy. It’s so fun. 🤩

When you send your players on a quick job to earn some extra coins by picking some apples then they get charmed by an Eladrin and the whole encounter devolves into PvP to see who can be her champion. 😂 classic D&D.

What a beautiful colorway. I keep thinking about getting Felici but not sure how it feels to knit up. 😍

This was an amazing series and Claire is so good in this. I just love the familial relationships in this and everyone who stars in it just plays their part perfectly. 😍 One of my fav period dramas.

It’s probably for the best (aka my wallet) that I don’t live closer to IKEA cause I would have gone and picked up a couple more. 😂

daemonknits.bsky.social @daemonknits.bsky.social · Jan 25

Gonna toss my current WIP into this #skykal. Working on the For Fox Sake sweater for my wife. 🦊

Today we picked up the IKEA Billy bookshelf and put it together…now this bookshelf has ruined me for all other bookshelves. It took less than an hour to assemble, it looks amazing and it makes my other shelves look sad. Now I need 10 more. 😂
