Choose Your Own Yarnventure 2026
Welcome, New Year knitters. And welcome back, Baaadies.
The door’s swinging open again, the kettle’s on, and the shelves are slowly filling up after a sparse few weeks. Fresh skeins stacking like winter logs, colours returning the way leaves do, deciduous and deliberate, one by one.
January always feels like this. Quieter, but full of possibility. The rush has passed, the needles come out again, and there’s room to linger. To start something small or finally tackle the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.
This is Choose Your Own Yarnventure 2026. A gentle nudge to follow your curiosity, build on what you know, or begin right at the beginning. Before you pick your yarn and settle in, let’s see where your making mood lands this year.
So let’s see where your knitting compass is pointing as the calendar flips.
Welcome to Choose Your Own Yarnventure 2026.
1. It’s January.
The holidays are packed away, the mornings are quiet, and the year stretches out ahead of you. How does it feel?
A) Gently hopeful. You didn’t make big resolutions, but you do want something steady to come home to. Something that feels good in your hands.
B) Motivating. You’re itching to pick up where you left off and maybe push a little further this time. Bigger projects. Better finishing. Fewer YouTube spirals.
C) Electric. New year, new techniques. You’re ready to learn something that makes you feel like a beginner again, in the best way.
2. You’re walking past the shop and pop in “just to look.”
A dangerous move, but a familiar one.
You…
A) Linger by the samples and think about how proud you’d be to say, “I made this.” This could be the year you finally learn.
B) Zero in on a piece that makes you pause. You know enough now to see how it’s constructed, and you want to try it yourself.
C) Start asking questions. How was that done? What technique is that? Could it be combined with something else?
3. It’s a weeknight.
Dinner’s done, the kettle’s on, and the house has gone quiet.
You’re…
A) Looking for something soothing to replace scrolling. A simple rhythm. A way to unwind that still feels productive.
B) Half-watching a show while mentally planning your next project. You grab your notebook to jot down ideas.
C) Pausing the screen to zoom in on a sleeve, a mitten, a detail you haven’t tried yet.
So where does the new year take you?
