Knit or Crochet?

I crochet and have tried knitting but can't get the hang of it. My sister knits and does a wonderful job...she can't crochet! LOL

I've never tried crocheting, but I do enjoy knitting. I've never tried knitting from a pattern, as I only make scarves and hats. My sister does both and she prefers to knit also. I enjoy knitting because I only need to glance at what I'm doing every so often, so it allows me to watch TV while I knit.

I have done both knitting and crocheting and find that once you know how and learn to read patterns that one isn't any harder than the other. My great grandmother taoght me to crochet and I taught my self to knit. I haven't done either one for sometime but i found that you don't have to have your eyes on the knitting as much as you do with crocheting

I can do both knit and crochet. I first learned to knit when I was really young. Then I learned how to crochet about 10 years ago from my girlfriend. And I love to crochet it goes so much faster. With knitting it takes forever to make something. And I keep loosing stiches.hahahah I think you might like crocheting. Wish I lived around you I would teach you.

Hi Carol... I've done both knitting and crocheting. Crocheting is so much easier that there's NO contest. lol It's faster too. Haven't done either one in several years, too busy with other things, but crocheting is very relaxing and calming for me...hmmmm, maybe I'll take it up again too. lol ... Have fun learning to crochet. It's pretty simple once you begin.

My Grandma taught me to crochet and I did alot of things, and never saw the point of learning to knit as the two are so closely the same, why learn both?

I knit all the time and have tried crocheting, but it frustrates me. It probably depends on which one you learned first.

I find crocheting easier, although I have been knitting for longer. I can go a lot faster.

I can only crochet. My mom knits and looks complicated. I have a feeling crocheting might be easier.

I've tried to teach myself to knit and find it cumbersome. perhaps if I had a friend who could teach me it would go easier. I learned to crochet when I was 8 or 9 from a friend's grandmother - and now my 12 year old has learned by watching me. It comes easy, works fast but uses a lot more yarn than knitting and is not as fine a stitch, generally. you do not drop stitches so much in crochet and only have one hook to concern yourself with. I think it is easier by far.

My grandma taught me to crochet when I was 9 - still have my very first granny square blanket I made - so crocheting is easier to me. I've tried to knit and just can't get the hang of it!

I crochet very well and is interested in learning to knit. So as to which is easier sorry Carolbee I am not in a position to say but I do enjoy doing the crochet.
