knit or crochet

[lildiamondeyes]

I want to learn a new hobby. Should I learn to knit or crochet?

I do both, and it depends on what you want to make. If you are looking for something that will work up quickly, crochet is the way to go. It's also easier to crochet a blanket or afghan. Youtube has a lot of great tutorials.

I can do crochet I can't do knitting to save my life.
My youngest son can knit, but the only thing he's made with crochet is a very very long chain.
so pick what you want to try and be ready to try something else if you get frustrated.

I feel like crochet is easier to learn. This is solely based on the fact I taught myself to crochet, but could not teach myself to knit.

Bluprint is offering all of their classes for free right now. I taught myself to knit and crochet from youtube. I love them both. I'd suggest looking up things you want to make and see if you are more drawn to knit or crochet.

So my crochet hooks arrived last week... I have yet to open them. Maybe tomorrow? Lol

Thanks! I will have to check out bluprint. I has thought to use youtube to be honest.

Do it! I started just making dish cloths. It's relaxing once you get the hang of it.

Maybe I'll learn to crochet by the end of this quarantine...

I do love knitting!
