About This Quiz

At first glance, it's easy to assume that knitting and crocheting are exactly the same. After all, both techniques use yarn to make beautiful and comfortable creations. However, knitting and crocheting are actually worlds apart, so it's essential to know which craft suits your character. Well, that's why we made this personality quiz!

To determine if you are more knitting or crocheting, we'll ask you questions about your love for all yarn, crafts and all things creative. We will also discuss your crafting habits and where you find inspiration. When you are done with the quiz, we'll evaluate your responses and see what type of craft you're most likely to be "hooked" on. 

Once you have this purl of wisdom, you can use this information to determine what craft you should practice. You'll also learn more about your crafting style and preferences! Besides, knitting and crocheting are perfect for when you need to unwind after a long day. This quiz is key to learning more about yourself and your creative spirit.

So, are you more knitting or crocheting? Are you both or neither? The only way to find out is to take the following quiz. Let's get started!
