Hi there:

I prefer to knit, just because most of my knowledge lies in that area

It really depends on what's being made for me...I prefer the process of
knitting and the fabric it produces for garments/wearable items, but I think
crochet produces better looking lace (MHO).

I also like how fast crocheting goes...I'm just a sloooooooow knitter! :)

Well, right now I prefer crocheting as I'm just learning how to knit and it
goes much slower for me. I've been crocheting for almost 30 years now, so it's
much more familiar to me than knitting. However, the reason I'm trying to learn
to knit is because I like the way the knitted fabric comes out, like in
sweaters, hats, etc.

I prefer to crochet because I do mostly afghans so they work up a lot
quicker crocheting than knitting.

I agree with all of the above LOL ! I end up doing more
crocheting because it just goes faster and so many people want me to
make them an afghan....lol.... I really like the way *knittng* looks
with hats, socks, sweaters, scarves. I knit and crochet both and have
a number of projects going all the time. A couple of things I would
like to really work on this year: using double pointed needles, cable
needles, knitting with beads (have crocheting with beads down and it
is fun).

Hi Jo,

Well, just remember with your knitting if you ever have a question, come here
as we will help figure it out. I learned to knit mittens when I was 16 then
crocheting at age 25. Been doing both since, love knitting for sweaters etc.
and crochet for afghans and dolies.

Hugs,

Nora

Right now, Knitting. But it is new and exciting for me (been at it only
since January), as opposed to crocheting since 1991.

For me knitting goes quicker. Of course that could have something to do
with the kind of thing I tend to use crochet for. I don't like it for
clothing, so I tend to use it for area rugs made from rags or 30-ply cotton
tobacco-baling cord, generally with a size P or S hook. Or sometimes a
smaller hook and yarn for purses, hats, and the like.

Well, if this question had been asked about a year ago (and ISTR it
was!) I'd have said knitting definitely (and I probably did), but over
the last year, thanks to all the wonderful links and lovely projects
that folks have posted, I've tried out a lot of crochet.

So now I have no preference when it comes to household articles such
as afghans, cushion covers and rugs, but definitely still prefer
knitting for clothing as the finished fabric just seems to feel nicer.
