With a lion as its symbol, Leo is the sign of courage, pride and confidence. But what does your sign say about your knitting? Illustration: Julie Anson
You love to knit…
...statement knits! Anything that will inspire awe and wonder. They don’t have to be complicated or costly but your knits need to stand out and attract compliments from all who see them. As a Leo knitter, you’re prepared to put in the time and effort to learn the skills that will make your work look fantastic and you’re happy to share those talents once you’ve mastered them. Leo knitters make great group leaders and craft tutors.
UFO
Sometimes a Leo knitter is forced to admit defeat – a lace, 2ply, christening gown knitted in the round (having just learned to knit in 1989) was a little beyond your skills at the time. Never mind – 20 years on, it’s been rediscovered and knitted up ready for your niece’s baby’s naming ceremony. There’s nothing you can’t master… eventually.
