Knitting & Crochet Horoscope: April 2025

Stars. Stitches. Sass. We’re launching the Crafter Zodiac – a new series that’s part horoscope, part roast, and fully obsessed with yarn. Whether you’re the swatching type or a reckless cast-on rebel, your sign has something to say.

You started three new projects before breakfast and finished none. Classic Aries. This month, channel that fire into frogging fearlessly—yes, even the lumpy scarf from 2018.

Avoid: Knitting group debates over Continental vs. English style—you will duel.

Lucky tool: A yarn swift spinning slightly too fast.

---

 Your yarn stash has achieved sentience. It’s whispering: “Swatch first…” Ignore it. Cosmic forces—and your inner Taurus—say new cast-ons are essential.

Beware of rogue scissors.

Best day for casting on: Friday, when Venus is in retro-fibergrade.

---

Geminis are masters of multitasking. You’re currently juggling a sock, a Tunisian crochet sampler, and a questionable amigurumi with two left arms.

Communication is key: Let your projects know they’ll all get finished. Someday.

Lucky break: You’ll find your missing stitch counter… in the freezer. Again.

---

Home is your habitat, and you’re nesting hard. Blankets, shawls, tea cozies—your emotional support yarn is thriving.

This month, don’t be afraid to frog the baby blanket from 2014. It’s okay. You’ve grown.

Lucky fiber: Chunky-weight alpaca that smells faintly of nostalgia.

---

Leo, that dramatic oversized cabled cardigan you’re making? It will turn heads. The stars say you must wear it to brunch—even if it’s 85°F.

Crochet crowns may also feature.

Lucky alignment: Compliments from strangers at the yarn shop.

---

Your project bags are labeled. Your stitch counts are exact. Your spreadsheet has tabs for each WIP.

But the cosmos say it’s time to try a mystery pattern… without a swatch.

Breathe. You can do this.

Lucky error: That unintentional YO that somehow looks… intentional.

---

You seek harmony in colorwork and cables. But your stash has reached equilibrium and now demands… more yarn.

This month, lean into the symmetry. Knit two identical socks. Or mitts. Or lovers’ hats.

Lucky charm: That one skein you bought just for the aesthetic.

---

You hold deep secrets—like where you really got that luxury yarn. (It was $42. You told them $12.)

This month, let your dark side shine: make something moody, marled, and magically hard to replicate.

Beware: Friends will “borrow” your stitch markers and never return them.

---

You travel with needles, hooks, and a vague idea of finding a yarn store in every town.

This month, inspiration strikes mid-journey—expect an impromptu airport cast-on using local wool and chopsticks.

Lucky find: A discontinued colorway at 75% off. Go. Now.

---

You will finish that massive temperature blanket. Even if it’s 3 years behind. This month, productivity soars—especially when bribed with snacks and podcasts.

Warning: Your planner may burst into flames from overuse.

Lucky ritual: Tuesday night blocking sessions.

---

You once knit with raffia. Last week it was tinsel. This month, the stars say yes to banana yarn and no to following the pattern.

Expect your work to confuse and delight in equal measure.

Lucky rebellion: A granny square vest with LED lights.

---

You float between daydreams and drapey shawls, but beware: your stitch count may float too.

This month, embrace your ethereal energy. Try lace. Try bobbles. Maybe at the same time.

Lucky vision: A rainbow fade that hits your soul’s exact frequency.

Whether you’re a cosmic crafter or just here for the chaos, thanks for joining us. Come back next Issue for more signs, more stitches, and definitely more sass.
