Ok I just have to try out the poll thingy, wish me luck.

Yes, I do both.

I've only been knitting for the past couple of years. I've been crocheting for ages.

My mom knits, but I never learned. She did try to teach me when I was young. It just didn't keep my interest.
I should have her teach me to make her slippers though. They are so warm and cozy and last really well.

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

I do both. Knitted and Crocheted for a long time...
How long? I'm not telling...

I am a non knitter here. I wish I could get the hang of it cause the knitted things are so pretty.
I just get so confused and loose stitches. It's just makes me nervous and not relaxing.
I sure do love to see what everyone else makes and read about it. I can knit on a loom if that counts.:)

Yup, I like how knit makes somethings look,
like how crochet can make that samething look better sometimes,
and Visa Versa.

(learning)
Now if I can just get the hang of reading some of these patterns out there.
I finally got the coordination and the tention thing down pat,
now it's onto understanding the patterns............they are
all written sooo different. I wish there were written in a set pattern
standard, like patterns were for crochet back when I learned
how to do that.

I have been trying to relearn how to knit for a while now but I don't know if it's just
because I'm used to crocheting or what, but I've been having a very very difficult time with it.
I have an old pattern that my grandmother made up, for slippers, that I just LOVE but
I can't get the knitting thing down right to make them.

I wish I could have someone sit next to me or over my shoulder to help me!!

some reason
(wider than I have ever seen here at our board before)
and I kind of edited to get them all
scooched back in some, hope you don't mind

Well so far we have about half who knit and crochet, and some who just crochet. Now of course we can always learn how to knit :)

I want to lean to knit...I even have a large set of needles to try. When I tried before I just wasn't getting it right. I'll try again one day. Right now I'm working on crocheting (of course) and I'm learning how to quilt. I'm also learning paper crafts. I want to get into scrapbooking.

WOW, 7 to 5

Michele

I do both .... but the only thing I knit now are Christmas stockings from a pattern that my Mom used in the 50's . I have 2 to make this year one for my new dil and one for my grandbaby

I knit and crochet and actually learned how to knit first which I think is key. I didn't know that at the time and had always wanted to learn how to knit so I took knitting lessons first.

The gals who owned the knit shop where I learned were so talented and one of the other teachers taught crocheting so I dove in about a year after I learned how to knit. I loved it immediately and I think I was able to pick it up because I had already learned the harder craft (at least for my brain

) .

Now, when I look at some of the extremely intricate crochet patterns out there, I'm not so sure which craft is more difficult.....sometimes it's crocheting and sometimes, knitting......at least for me, that is!

Sabrina

I crochet and knit although I have to admit that I crochet better than I knit. I am still in the learning process with the knitting, but I enjoy it
