| I just voted. I've been crocheting since '79 but have never knitted at all. I tried once, many years ago -- I got the yarn cast onto the needle and couldn't figure out how to get the loops off to actually make the stitches. I thought, who needs this, I looooove crochet SO much and I can make anything using it that a knitter can with their craft, so I put it aside and never looked back. I am actually trying again one last time, over two decades later. So many crocheters can do that and part of me says, how hard can it be, and have seen some pretty dishcloth patterns that it would be fun to make (that's all I would ever anticipate making, small rectangular items, LOL). Then I watch the online videos and the online still pictures and again think I may forget the whole thing. Crochet is my passion and I don't NEED to knit; I just want to see if I could. Last night, I again got the stitches on the needle, having finally found a page that made sense. Then I didn't feel like going any further, LOL. MAYBE I'll take another look today. But really, I have more gorgeous crochet patterns than I will EVER get to, so a big part of me still says, why force something that won't come naturally? Creative outlets are supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable in addition to resulting in pretty creations, and crochet does all that for me. Teri |

I do both. I find that I like to alternate them to give my hands and wrists a rest from repetition.  |

| I've always wanted to learn how to knit. My mom tried to teach me *#$@ years ago, but I never did catch on. I've been crocheting for too many years to remember. love2teach |

Hi Monique39! :) What are you working on now?
Love2teach...learning to knit after many years crocheting can be a little bit of a challenge. But, I stress the word "little". It can be done and it isn't as scarey or complex as it seems to be. Believe me, I totally understand your hesitation. But...give it a try again. You could be pleasantly surprised. :) |

| Still doing things for Project Linus, here. However, I have started a short-sleeve top for myself. My first one. (Fingers crossed!) :) |
