Knitting or crocheting?

oXAquaXo @oXAquaXo (607) • United States 25 Sep 11

The all-time question that crafters ask. Are you more of a crocheting person or a knitting person? Personally, I don't know anymore. I used to be strictly knitting, but nowadays, I think I'm edging toward crocheting. It allows...

derlilaStern I am more of a crocheting kind of person. I think it is easier. I disagree that you can do more with crocheting though. You can do pretty amazing things with both!! My dad has always been a knitter. (I know it is weird to think about men...

a_year_older @a_year_older (636) • Malaysia 17 Sep 11
