I'm a knitter in real life, and even I think this pack doesn't add enough depth. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the decor items, some of them are way overdue to be included in the game, but the knitting projects themselves leave a lot to be desired (with the exception of the baby onesies, which are amazing). Why are there no basic, plain beanies, ear-flap or pom-pom hats? Those are what real knitters knit, not those stupid looking cutesy animal hats, and NEVER for adults because adults don't want them. Real knitters knit elaborate lace shawls, potholders, socks, sweaters, scarves, mittens and normal hats. We got the socks and sweaters. A lot of knitters knit for boutiques, too, meaning they knit TONS of the same items to sell at boutiques, which mostly take place in autumn in time for the holidays. I think EA dropped the ball with only adding Plopsy where you might sell a couple items a week. There are all these community lots and the sales tables are already part of the game. They could have added something like the Flea Market, and had a craft boutique sale day, where you could sell all your craftables. Can you even sell the knit items using the sale tables? I haven't been able to keep my attention on the game long enough to find out.
I guess by adding one very specialized skill to a stuff pack, it makes the skill, and thereby the pack, seem without depth. If you ignore the knitting skill, itself, the stuff in this pack is great, and I love that we got to vote on it. I'm just waiting for something to really keep my attention for longer than a couple hours a month, like previous versions of The Sims were able to do.
