Knitters who can also crochet (or vice versa!)
What is faster?
What is easier?
More fun?
I only know how to crochet and was just wondering if knitting was worth learning!!
TIA!

Re: Knitters who can also crochet (or vice versa!)
I tried teaching myself knitting.. I found crochet basic stitches alot easier to learn than knittings, and goes alot faster. I saw results quicker with crocheting which keeps you motivated.
i think the more you do the quicker youll be with both, but personal found crocheting more fun.

Crocheting is quicker and I think more difficult. I knit and I like what you can make compared to crocheting. The fabric comes out thicker with crocheting, IMO. Knitting is just two stitches and once you start you will surely be addicted.

Re: Knitters who can also crochet (or vice versa!)
I think it depends on what you start with. I've been crocheting since I was 5. I just can't get the hang of knitting. I get frustrated with the counting stitches and find crocheting to go a lot faster.
I wish I could knit better. I guess I just need more practice.

This is me too - I am all thumbs when it comes to knitting, I'm sure with practice I could do better ...i just haven't had the patience for that yet

I picked up knitting first (6) but picked up crocheting faster (12).

Re: Knitters who can also crochet (or vice versa!)
i've been crocheting since i was 7.
taught myself how to knit at 27.
faster: crochet
easier: both
more fun: depends on the item you'd like to make
i strongly suggest giving it a whole-hearted try to learn. it's such a different world with so many more posibilities.

This is what I heard too. Whichever you start with, you find easier. I love to crochet, have tried knitting a few times and just can't seem to get motivated to really learn. Plus I knit left-handed, which seems to make it more difficult for me to learn.
