Hot Trotters & More

Hi, I’m Dawn

I’m a lifelong knitter with a passion for creating cosy, one-of-a-kind handmade items.

From the moment my mother taught me I knew knitting would be a big part of my life. Today, I’m proud to share my craft with you through an ever-growing collection of socks, bed socks, key monster holders, baby blankets—and even beautiful quilts! I have also acquired a new skill and am making rope & rag bows, place mats & coasters!

After raising three wonderful children and welcoming three delightful grandchildren (plus our one Jack Russell who thinks she’s a wolfhound!), I’ve retired and am thoroughly enjoying this creative season of life. My husband Jim and our family have been my biggest supporters. Jim and I recently celebrated 50 years of marriage! Their encouragement has allowed me to focus on what I love most: knitting and quilting

Whether you’re looking for the perfect pair of socks, a comforting baby blanket, or a custom quilt, I’d love to help.

Please get in touch with me at the email address below to discuss your ideas.
