Which Knitting Project Are You?

Pattern notes. Cast on one curious person. Knit two rows of questions, purl one row of honest answers. Repeat until you reach the end of the quiz or your cat steals the yarn, whichever comes first. Gauge: does not matter, we're not measuring. Difficulty: beginner friendly, unless you count the emotional part of finding out you're a sweater with one sleeve.

Every knitter knows that projects have personalities. There's the chunky blanket, big, warm and finished in a single weekend, happy to be draped over every sofa in the house. There's the lace shawl, delicate and complicated, with a chart that requires total silence and a cup of tea that has gone cold. There's the animal ear beanie, goofy, cozy and made for laughing at in mirrors. And there's the forever sweater, started three winters ago, still on the needles and definitely going to be finished next month.

Fifteen questions about weekends, gifts, hobbies, cozy evenings and your relationship with deadlines will match you with your project. Grab your needles, ignore the tangled ball at your feet and start answering. Bind off loosely. Weave in your ends. Try not to start a new project before finishing this one.
