Close Knit Killer

The knitting and community elements really made the story feel warm and authentic. I'm curious if the setting was based on a real place or just a love of craft culture.

The detailed descriptions added to the atmosphere, but I wondered if it was intentional to slow the story down a bit to build tension.

The focus on knitting and community life is so vivid—did the author decide early on to make crafts a central theme, or did it evolve during writing?
