Astroknitters: Taurus (20th April – 20th May)

Taurus is often represented by a bull. This does not mean that Taureans are clumsy, destructive creatures; more that they are resourceful with great strength and endurance. But what does your star sign say about your knitting? Illustration: Julie Anson

You love to knit…
...steadily and carefully and are rarely defeated by complex or demanding patterns. Your love of luxury and beauty is reflected in the patterns and yarn that you choose. Taureans are the knitters least likely to have a stash of unused yarn, instead you probably have a collection of beautifully knitted, technically outstanding projects finished and displayed throughout your home and in your wardrobe.

UFO
You’re unlikely to knit random, small projects. You prefer to knit significant items – heirlooms for new babies, garments you’ll wear for years or items that will become part of the furniture.

WIP
A Kaffe Fassett blanket. The wool has been bought, the charts enlarged and a goal has been set to make sure enough knitting is completed each month. It’s a wedding present but you’ll finish in plenty of time.

Knitting motto
From little stitches, great knits grow
