Do you prefer to knit or crochet? email this discussion to a friend?

dolfin (38)4 months ago

There are tons of beautiful knitting patterns out there which can't be matched by crochet, especially for garments. I can do both, but somehow I prefer crochet as I find it easier to handle - a lot less worry about dropping stitches for one! However I have a friend who prefers knitting as she finds it extremely hard to maintain a constant yarn tension whenever she crochets. Which do you prefer? Knitting or crocheting?

I prefer knitting for garments but I prefer crocheting because it's faster. Right now, I am mostly knitting because I am making mittens for Christmas presents.

It's great that you're knitting your Christmas presents! It's so special to receive a gift that the giver has made her/himself, as I know that time and effort was put into creating the item. Happy knitting!

Once upon a time I would have said knitting because it was easy for me to learn in the beginning and everything was a knit or a purl but recently I decided to give crochet a try again and it is quick and easy. It also helps that I can understand the patterns better now.

I love knitting, as I find it easier than crochet. But I live in the southern part of India with a warm climate, so we don't need woollens any time, & it's difficult to knit in warm weather. I do crochet with fine thread. Once we learn that art, we'll love it. I have several pieces made from many years of hard work.

I can knit and crochet. There are so many patterns and yarns so choose from that it is hard to decide what to do first. I find that crocheting goes much faster, so I do more projects in crochet. But, I love to knit. I always have something on my needles. While knitting takes longer for me, I don't mind the time. I find it relaxing and rewarding. I have never tried socks or mittens but have done a lot of sweaters.
