I'm new and trying to decide between knitting and crochet

[crazykntter83]

To me they both have their advantages. If you want to make a blanket quickly, crochet is the way to go. They each have their own unique looks. I love the variety of stitch patterns that you get with each craft. I hope that you enjoy knitting as much as we all do here.

I like most here agree that you should learn both! I started knitting - learning via youtube videos (i had no idea about the fabulous videos here!), and tried to crochet sooooo many times! I could never get the hang of it! But i kept practicing and one day it finally clicked!

I agree that knitting is better for garments! Crocheting is WONDERFUL for afghans and baby blankets! It goes so fast! The only downside i would say is that it uses so much more yarn than knitting!

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress! WE are all here to help if you get stuck!

Happy Knitting or Crocheting!
