Maybe from store reward traits? Creative Visionary? My sim has that too. Also he completed the painter and writer aspirations too, but cannot make any legendary ones..

For painting, it’s easy to make the master piece. It takes longer to get the master pieces from general paintings like classic, pop art etc, however, if you use ‘paint from reference’, it usually costs more than other paintings and you can get the better quality of painting. It’s easier to make the master pieces with Creative Visionary store trait. My sim completed the painter aspiration easy. Writing the bestseller is the easiest one. But my sim who completed this both aspirations, made over 10 pieces of knittables but mostly excellent or some of them are even ‘normal’ in level 10 knitting skill. I can understand making normal quality at level 6 or 7 knitting skill but, you know he has level 10 in knitting skill. How is that possible? The sims have level 10 in painting or writing skill, they don’t paint or write normal quality of paintings or books. How is it possible to make normal quality of knittables with maxed knitting skill? Looks like it’s a bug to me.
Yes, it's the 'creative visionary' reward.
I'm actually having the opposite trouble: my Sim once created a 'poor' quality ceramic llama, and unfortunately, I was so disgusted I sold it before really looking at it. Now, I'm curious to see what it looks like - some of those 'poor' quality items are amusing. (I usually add the mismatched 'poor' quality socks to the wardrobe.) So, I've had my Sim making ceramic llamas for days. Lots of 'excellent', a few 'legendary' (she does have level 10 and the creative visionary perk), some 'normal', but no 'poor' quality. (And she does occasionally make 'poor' quality knittables even at level 10.)
I've been obsessed with knitting since the pack came out, truth be told :)
Oh really? I haven't had any poor quality.. Ah! I think I had one or two when he was at low level in knitting. ok thanks for sharing your story and now I can understand better about this knitting skill. :)
Okay, to add to the bizarre - I finally got another 'poor quality' (but wait!) yellow ceramic llama. It comes out as orange instead of yellow. But, here's the kicker: in this case, the orange 'mistake' was 'legendary'. (I have several 'legendary' yellow llamas, and they are all yellow.)
I experimented with the 'focused' mood as @Jaline33 suggests, and it might help a bit. But really, I think it's all a matter of chance - maybe it's a 1 in 5 chance if your Sim has level 10 skills, and a 1 in 10 if the skills are lower. I'm pretty sure that needs figure in - if a Sim is hungry or I force her to finish the object before I let her pee (I'm a tyrant), that seems to lower the chances of a 'legendary' knit.
That said, I'm still convinced that the game is programmed to lower the odds when you get to the 'knit 5 legendary objects' (or 'write 5 bestsellers') aspiration goals.
