かぎ針編みの実態調査！編みたいものや悩みなど、アンケート結果を大公開 | かぎ針編みレシピ・無料編み図 Ronique [ロニーク]

I'm sure there are many people who don't usually have many opportunities to talk about crocheting.
Even small worries can feel like they are unique to you.
Therefore, we conducted an anonymous survey to find out about your crochet habits.

I am also very interested in what kind of crochet information and recipes will be useful to you.
I'm not sure how much I can answer your request for the final question, but I hope you'll use this as a reference.

This survey has now finished, and the responses at the time of the survey are now publicly available.

When implemented, the format was as follows:
- After answering each question, you can see the aggregated results and answer only the questions that interest you.
・Each person may only answer one question. Any text entered in the "Other" field will not be displayed.

We are now closed for responses, but please take a look at the results!

After the survey | Crocheting connects our daily lives

I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt a sense of empathy and like I had found a new friend after learning about everyone's crochet experiences.

Although people have different knitting experiences and want to knit different things, they may have the same concerns or knit in similar situations in their daily lives.

Even if the results of the survey are close to what you imagine, it's strange how when you see the actual numbers like this, you start to feel a real sense of familiarity.

While I was crocheting as usual, I suddenly thought that maybe everyone else was enjoying crocheting in the same way, and I'm excited about it.

I hope that the results of this survey will help you discover something different about crocheting.
