Prompts:

1. Cast-on: The first section you scope out in a bookstore/library/online book shopping.
2. Knit: Obviously a staple of knitting! A super hyped book that completely delivered for you.
3. Purl: As important as the "knit" stitch, but probably not as famous. Name a character you think deserves more love (from the fandom, the author, other characters, etc).
4. Chart: A book or author you've been meaning to read but somehow just haven't gotten around to (and why).
5. Double-Pointed Needles (DPNs): Recommend a series you can *actually* read out of order, AND one that people might think you can but you actually can't.
6. Cables: A book you heard negative reviews for but you ended up loving.
7. Skein: Why do we still sell yarn like this?! A trope you can't stand.
8. Gauge swatch: Share an author who is always a good fit for you.
9. Stitch marker: Share a specific scene that stands out clearly in your mind (no spoilers!)
10. Yarn weight: Super useful info to take in at a glance. Do you have some bookish taste buddies? This could be someone you have really similar tastes to in general, or for a specific kind of book.
11. That novelty yarn someone gifted you because they heard you like knitting, but it's IMPOSSIBLE to work with. What's a book that looked perfect for you on paper, but just didn't work out?
12. Scarf: The perfect starter project. Recommend a good book for getting into a genre or kind of book.
13. Socks: Handmade socks are WAY harder than they look! Talk about an underappreciated author who deserves more hype.
14. Cast Off: A weirdly specific thing you love (could be a trope, something in book construction, etc.)
15. Crafting Party! Honestly one of the best parts of any hobby is sharing it with friends. Tag some people who craft or who might like to answer the questions!
