Ever wonder what your knitting community really thinks? Gathering honest feedback can be tough, but the right questions make it easy. Use these proven Community Feedback templates to spark conversations and collect insights that help your knitting group thrive.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Community Feedback posts invite members to share their voices, making them feel valued and heard. When people see that their opinions matter, they are more likely to participate and stay engaged. Asking for feedback also helps uncover new ideas, spot improvement areas, and celebrate what already works.
Open-ended questions encourage a range of perspectives, fostering an inclusive atmosphere. Members who contribute feedback often develop a stronger sense of ownership and belonging, which translates into a more vibrant and supportive knitting community. Over time, this exchange of ideas can lead to positive changes that reflect the group's true needs and interests.

To get the most from these templates, select a prompt that fits your current goals or challenges. Post it in your community space with a welcoming introduction and reply to member responses to keep the conversation going. Mix up your feedback requests to cover different topics like resources, events, tutorials, or group culture. Remind members their input will shape future community updates, and share any changes inspired by their suggestions to build trust.
For all platforms, keep feedback requests short and clear. Use @mentions or polls to reach more members if available. Pin or highlight important feedback posts so they are easy to find. Respond promptly to member input and encourage discussion in comments or threads.
You can utilize the 'Yarn Preference Feedback' template to ask members about their experiences with specific yarn brands, weight (e.g., Merino vs. Acrylic), or local suppliers. This helps identify group favorites or common issues (like pilling, dye lot inconsistencies), and encourages members to share photos or swatches of their finished projects using those yarns.
Use the 'Project Proposal Feedback' template to present a few KAL pattern options, such as shawls, socks, or sweaters, and include images or pattern links. Ask members to vote or comment on their skill level, yarn stash compatibility, and interest in specific techniques (like colorwork or lace) to ensure high engagement and participation.
Absolutely. Use the 'Pattern Review Feedback' template to invite members to share their experiences with particular patterns, noting any confusing sections, missing charts, or errata. This collective feedback helps moderators highlight reliable patterns and warn about problematic ones, improving the group’s knitting experience.
Leverage the 'Event Format Feedback' template to specifically ask about members’ experiences with Zoom knitting sessions versus local meetups. Include questions about time zones, technical issues, preferred days, and accessibility, and ask for suggestions on hybrid formats or rotating hosts to accommodate various needs.
The 'Seasonal Activity Feedback' template can be used to poll the group about interest in holiday-themed activities, such as ornament exchanges, charity knitting for shelters, or themed challenges (e.g., 'Socktober'). Include prompts asking which causes or holidays resonate most and what types of items members would enjoy making.
Try the 'Technique Skills Feedback' template to ask members which skills they’re eager to learn or master. Include a checklist of advanced techniques, common trouble spots, and request suggestions for future tutorials or workshops. This helps target educational content and support knitters at every skill level.
