Survey Says!
September10
Remember Family Feud? I used to watch it every day after school.
Each question Richard Dawson asked started with “We surveyed 100 people and asked them…” then at the end he would reveal the most popular answer with ‘Survey Says!’.
Not quite the end, so just an interim ‘Survey Says!’:
From the respondents on the survey I am absolutey fascinated to find that:
- 53% of you enjoy helping others out with questions
- 64% enjoy knitting in a group
- A whopping 89% enjoy trying out new techniques (go intrepid knitters!!)
- 85% use long tail cast-on as their cast on of choice (that’s my favourite too)
- 36% of you post on Ravelry
- While 82% love purple, the least loved colour is fluorescents with 37% of you wanting to spew when confronted with it. The marginals causing reflux are yellow at 12%, then pastels at 11% and finally orange at 10%.
- And finally 65% of you were wearing socks when completing the survey and 36% not. If it makes you feel any better, I wasn’t wearing any either when I wrote it!



Here in the UK it was called Family Fortunes!
