Crochet personality – which one are you? Take our quiz and find out!
Crochet personality. You’re probably wondering what that means. Well, each of us approaches things a bit differently and that makes us an amazingly diverse group, right?
Some of us are yarn hoarders (guilty!) while some of us buy only what we need for a project. We know crocheters that just have to buy every crochet book they see, while others will only follow the hippest designers on social media. Some crocheters use only natural fibers while others are fine with vibrant nylon threads.
What does all this mean? It means you love to crochet, and you should take our quiz to find out what your crochet personality says about you!
