How many of you knit as well as crochet?

[Raccoon]

Well, knitting is nice for soft, sweet baby things so I gave it a try. But my brain just wanted to crochet! So I'm sticking with what I know.

I knit and crochet

[SusanMarie1956]

I tried to knit... ...Now I will try my hand at crocheting! Hopfully it goes better!

[***Joy***]

I know how to basic knit. I want to one day be able to knit as good as I crochet.

[moggy]

I am a new returner to both.... my mum taught me to do them asa kid but I wasn't interested - I managed half a jumper which she finished for me.... but now I have picked them both up again and am addicted!!!

It goes by waives:

It can be only a crochet for few months. And after that I do knitting only.

Now it is a MIX period for me: 2 Irish crochet garments, a knitted vest and a knitted man's hat.

I don't make any difference between knitting and crocheting. I am quite comfortable with both of them.

My mom taught me to knit when i was younger. At first i only knew how to do basic stitches. I taught myself, much later, how to knit some lace. Once i learned how to crochet, knitting went out the window! Crochet is much more enjoyable to me. Now i find knitting needles awkward compared to my hooks

I have been crocheting for years and I just taught myself to knit. So my crocheting is so much better than my knitting. lol Talking about drop stitiches lol My work is holy in knitting. lol:D

My grandma taught me to crochet and knit when I was around 6ish. I could never "get" knitting though, even from the start. For whatever reason it just didn't click.

[crochetrenee]

I am a crocheter who, after 20 or so years of trying, finally knit. I am steadily getting more proficient. What finally made me stick to it long enough to get it? I became a handspinner and really, REALLY wanted some nice wool socks!

[lizdini]

I knit a little. It makes better socks for me.

[santi6977]

I knit, actaly I learned to knit before i could crochet(about three years ago), I do them both equaly well

[elaines630]

I do both! Im still a newbie to knitting, but I want some knitted socks. I dont like crocheted socks. Its just not the same!

 

Here's a question though... do you do the continental style or the other (I forget what its called). I use the continental because you are holding the yarn in the same hand as crocheting. It just didnt work for me the other way!

My grandmother taught me to crochet, knit and tat lace when I was little. The crocheting was the easiest, so that's what stuck. Now I have gone back and re-learned to knit. I made a dishcloth (took 3 months!) but nothing since. When I get caught up on my crocheting, I would love to try socks. That seems to be the "in" thing right now.

 

So much yarn, so little time!!!!

[Palmarina]

I do both, knitting and crocheting. Knitting is for socks, sweaters, scarfs, wraps, etc... Crochet is mostly for accessories like bags, blanket, edging of a knitted piece, etc

I learned both techniques from my grandmother when I was a child (must have been about 6).

i knit and crochet, and also use knitting looms in addition to knitting needles as they work up quickly and i can put it down without getting lost..

[LittleGreenStars]

I only crochet right now, but I really would like to knit as well.

 

I don't know anyone who knits, so I'll have to teach myself just like I tought myself to crochet, but knitting seems like it's going to be harder.

[CroJulee]

I've been knitting for the past 7-10 years and crocheting for approx. 15 years (since I was 5)

I absolutely love knitting (not as much as crochet though)!!

I just recently knitted my first pair of socks and have already started my second pair. I want to make some baby socks too!!

[The_Virginia_Hooker]

I knit, but only things that are square or rectangular for now lol.

[bjc1050]

I knit, also and some things that I've made can be seen at either of this blog:

However, I haven't knitted anything in a while. Have been focusing on crochet lately - mostly granny squares using #3 thread hoping to make a couple of placemats with them.

Almost have enough to assemble them to make 2 placemats.

I always thought that I'd never want to learn how to knit, but I was interested in trying it, so I learned! I've only done washcloths, but I'm hoping to try other things. I definately like crochet better though.

[yarntotingmama]

I enjoy both and I can't compare them. They each accomplish entirely different things for me and I'm thankful that I do both. Also, I find knitting very relaxing, even meditative.
