10 signs you’re a True Knitter

Here are 10 signs of a True Knitter. What’s your score?
- You’re secretly happy a party you were going to gets cancelled because you’d rather stay home in baggy sweats and knit anyway.
- You have a special bag just for your knitting projects. And let’s be honest, it’s not just one. It’s several, each with its own work-in-progress.
- You have yarn in every room of the house. It’s like glitter after a craft party but way less messy to clean up.
- Choosing between yarns feels like picking a favourite child. Each one has its own personality and potential, making the decision nearly impossible.
- A traffic jam or a delayed flight doesn’t throw you off. Every unexpected pause is just another chance to knit a few more rows.
- The first thing you notice about sweaters in stores is the knit pattern. And you either think, “I could make that” or “I wonder how many skeins that would take?”
- You can identify different fibres just by touch. It’s like a superpower – you can tell Merino from Alpaca blindfolded.
- You’ve turned down social plans because you were “busy.” Busy knitting, that is. Those stitches won’t knit themselves, after all.
- You have more photos of your knitting projects on your phone than selfies. Each project is a milestone, a memory. And let’s face it, sometimes they look better than we do.
- You’re nodding along while reading this list. Because each point reminds you of why you love knitting so much. It’s not just a hobby; it’s a part of who you are.
If that sounds like you, you’re the real deal. Congrats!
Now, reward yourself with an effortless pattern that makes knitting feel as relaxing as a hot bubble bath after a long week. (Glass of wine optional.)
