My initial vote was for Granny Chic but after my initial disappointment I'm actually looking forward to the winning theme. I was initially focusing on creating a residential look but now I'm thinking about using the items in a retail setting. I want to create a retail knitting shop with a workroom in back for storage, creating items for sale, and hopefully holding knitting classes.
I know we've got a ways to go before release but do you have any plans for the pack? Which items are you hoping will make the cut?
And keep in mind that
@SimGuruNinja has said we'll get more selections for swatches so I wouldn't be overly concerned about the bright pastels shown in the concept art picture.

Going forward with my story sims, usage will, like everything depend on the individual sim. Some may only have a few bits, others will have craft rooms... others will have living rooms or dining rooms that double as craft rooms (as my RL home does currently) And some, of course, won't use the items at all. Not every sim (elder or not) is going to learn how to knit.
I mean, I obviously can't speak for all crafters out there, but a lot of the ones I know would love to have a room similar to this that they could dedicate to craft projects and stash storage. My MIL's quilting room is along these lines (different colors, but along these lines) and my mom and aunt would both love it too. Crafting in a warm cozy corner is nice and all, but a clean, bright room really helps when trying to find that stitch you dropped (or that bead that dropped in the wrong - but similar - color, or read the blasted sewing machine needle when trying to remember what size you need to replace it after it breaks...) So I tend to see this design as very believable for a residential crafting room.
Also, I'm planning on making a big school or community center with a craft room. If it's a school, knitting could be an afterschool club or an alternative way of getting an art credit. If I go with community center, it would be a great way to teach sims (especially underprivileged sims) skills that can help them in life, all with no cost. Items made at the center can be donated to needy sims.
I really hope knitting is a club activity.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
I feel like this craft room brings sewing to mind, way more than knitting.
I am all about the male Sim's kitten sweater and kitten face slippers though! 😻
hodgepodge. I can’t really get a feel for what style they’re going for there.
It’d be cool if the craft table made it into the game and could be like the kid school projects. Everyone could gather around and work on either one big project or each on their own project. That would be a cool item to add into a knitting shop - almost like the ability to host a community class.
I don't get why people are saying this is just pink...the main pink is the wall and I doubt that is even part of the pack, just looks like the basegame pink wall. Plus you get swatches with everything so you can avoid the few bits of pink clutter if you want. I hate pink and I like this style! I think they need to make either the palettes more similar or change they do this voteif they do this again, because a lot of people can't seem to look past either the colours or the specific items (which are not guaranteed and have a separate vote later) and aren't actually voting on the art style.
I like that I can use it anywhere. Craft rooms in houses and retail settings immediately come to mind, which is a big range in itself. But generally it looks like we might get some more plain/minimal furniture which is super versitle which we don't have enough of. Plain chairs (like the desk chair), curtains, desks with a variety of swatches but nothing too extravagant is really needed. A lot of furniture in TS4 is too fancy/has too much to it and more basics would be good. Kinda like some people want an IKEA pack, I'm getting IKEA vibes from this which would be nice.
