Rounds or Rows?

[froggy]

I like doing both!

I find it very interesting how many people prefer rows over rounds. The point spread is quite noticeable. I can do both but I tend to rounds whenever possible

 

I have always found rows to become rather tedious early on. I am not good at perseverance.

One other quick note for those who can't do rounds... Can we help you to learn how?

 

Aggie May (Colleen) has some good teaching materials and patterns that might be useful.

It's all good, I voted both!

I voted for rounds but I hate making circles in one stitch. For example sc rounds for a top down hat. I would vote rows over that type of in the round crochet. I am always missing an increase and it is terrible.

If there is any sort of pattern like grannys or star blankets though I am the exact opposite. I love crocheting in rounds like this.

It took me a while to learn to count stitches in the round (I was never sure what the slip stitch looked like and if I counted it.) Once I figured it out I was hooked! You don't have to have the exact amount of yarn for in the round blankets and most of them will work from a repeating pattern so you can work without lots of pattern referencing.

Grannys are really great, but I agree that the ends are the w-o-r-s-t.

it all depends on my mood honestly, sometimes I love rows other times they frustrate me bc they seem to not work up as fast, I love rounds til I get to the outside rounds that take so long

I do both well. However, I find that rounds go faster and they are more challenging for me.
