Sarah Dawn has been fascinated by knitting since first learning how to knit at the age of 5, and loving (almost all) of it. When she’s not knitting, she’s (re)teaching herself to crochet and spin. Beyond yarn, her other vices include tea and curling up with a good book. Currently, she lives in the Toronto, Canada area, along with her roommate and two cats. She finds this whole ‘write about yourself in the third person’ thing rather awkward, but it seems to work out alright!
