We were asked this question recently. It's a tough one to answer, mostly because there isn't a simple answer. Not only are we all different in terms of what we want to knit, but we also have different interests at different times.
Kim, who you could count on to be knitting lace, spelled by socks, is whipping out a sweater. As the weather warms, we might put aside heavier projects and pick up lighter ones. Audrey has decided that wool is okay in the heat, if it's lace weight Malabrigo. I love the intricacies of garments, but I'm having a great time with Trapezoid, Jill's latest pattern that is quite simple. I'm just watching the fabric grow. I'll be wearing this very soon!
So many things impact our desire to knit a particular item. Yarn, stitch patterns, needle size, time. What's going on in the rest of our lives is significant. Traveling, working hard, taking a vacation and family obligations will have an impact on how much we can pay attention to our knitting. Sometimes a washcloth or scarf is all we can manage.
While WHAT we want to knit may not always be clear, that we WANT to knit is.
