That granny square tote is adorable!
I learned to crochet on you tube and never could understand the knitting/purling concept until my friend showed me how to knit continental…this is much more like the motion of crochet that now I can do both knitting and crochet. What a great friend :).
I learned to crochet from my Nana at about 5 yrs. old. knitting came later, around 7 , I think.. have enjoyed them both ever since and gotten a little better than the 5-7 projects 🙂
Would make blanket for great grand baby due in July. Have made blankets for all my grand kids
My mom taught me how to knit when I was in second grade. I taught myself how to crochet when I was in 7th grade. She did both, so I had to too. I enjoy both crafts, but truly love knitting more.

I learned to knit first and then picked up crochet a few months later. Now, I consider myself both a knitter and a crocheter.
Looking forward to creating!
I started knitting and then remembered my teenage failure in crochet so bought a little how to book and found it really easy. Now I find too many crochet projects get in the way of knitting. I also enjoy knitting and crocheting on the same project.
this would be a a wonderful gift as I knit and am currently learning to crochet more then just scarves and Hats
I’m learning to crochet. Love it! I’m finishing a afghan for my grandma now that she couldn’t finish because of her arthritis. Would like to try and knit sometime.

I’m a knitter but have learned basic crochet. Want to learn more.
I crochet better than I knit. I enjoy both but have trouble fixing my mistakes in knitting.
I’ve been knitting for a couple of years and finally learned how to crochet recently. I’ve tried to learn repeatedly over the years and could never get past the starting chain. With the help of some You Tube videos I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.
My 4th grade teacher taught our entire class how to crochet (so many years ago). I loved it, but didn’t stay with it into adulthood. 2 years ago I learned to knit when I found out I was going to be a grandmother and have now picked the hook back up. I remember everything that wonderful teacher taught us!
A friend of mine taught me to knit and then I taught myself to crochet soon after!
My mama taught me to both knit and crochet when I was a wee one. I’ve never been able to do either as well as she did! But I’m more comfortable crocheting. I do knit, and finally learned how to do cables… they don’t always turn out like they are supposed to tho!

I am a crocheter, and would love to learn to knit, but I want to master crocheting first 🙂

I learned to knit when I was 7 and taught myself to crochet in my 20’s because I saw all of these beautiful patterns that were crochet. I love to do both but lace knitting and thread crochet are my favorites.
I’m a crocheter. I’ve tried several times to knit but I just can’t get the hang of it. I’ve done finger knitting and arm knitting though, which seems to be so much easier.
I started knitting when I was about 10. Never finished the project I started. When I was in college, a friend knitted so I tried again, but alas, I could not knit straight and never finished that project either. Another friend crocheted and said it was so much easier so I thought I should try that someday. Ten years later, I finally got a hook and learned to crochet. I am a crocheter, it is so much easier for me than knitting, but now I want to try knitting again to see if I can improve, there are so many cute knitting patterns I’d like to try 🙂
Hi, I tried to teach myself to knit,but was unsuccessful! I think I will stick to crochet!

My mother taught me how to knit and I made scarves for the army during World War II, and I also made a fancy fish pattern sweater for my husband, followed by a small pink knit sweater for my little girl. And that was enough knitting! So now I crochet, all the time, and love doing it.
I find it very relaxing and stress-reducing, and am (usually) very proud of what I produce with my crochet efforts.
I love lionbrand yarn!I liked all free crochet here as well. Hope I win.

I learned both at the same time, at age 36!
I learned basic knitting and crochet skills as a child but didn’t anything with those skills until quite recently when my daughter gave me some cotton yarn and some knitting needles. I’m back to knitting and interesting enough purchased some crochet hooks last weekend. I need to putter with those now.
I learned to knit in 4-H so I’ve been doing it a long time. Could never seem to learn to crochet on my own so I finally took a class. I’ve always had ‘doily envy’ and I wanted to be able to make my own. Made one small doily in the class but other than an occasional crochet trim I’ve never used crochet since!

On another note, I’d love to win the yarn! If I won, I’d be using the yarn to make something for my niece and nephew, or my cousin and her small children. 🙂
First I was a Loom Knitter, then I learned to crochet and then I learned to knit! Actually, I learned to knit first when I was about 10 or 12 but I never kept up with it. I think I have all the bases covered!

crochet came natural to me but knitting not so much. i guess i’m not coordinated enough to knit. but i’m still trying to learn, i won’t give up until i can do it.
I learned to crochet as a child first, picked up knitting as an adult. Although I prefer to knit, I do both, often combining techniques.

My mom taught me to do both. Sometimes I start a knit project with crochet.

I love to do both! My great Aunt taught me to do both when I was about 8 yrs old….I am now 53!

Clumsy left hander! I can knit, but crochet just is not possible!

I first learned to knit and only ever have made scarves and a baby blanket. A few months ago I learned to crochet and have just finished a baby sweater, along with hats, a blanket and a few other little things. I’d like to do more knitting also though!
I know both, I’ve crocheted for about 5 years and knitted for 4.
I crochet but have never learned to knit.
I was taught to crochet a small doily first, and then I decided to try knitting. Did that for a few years and then went back to crocheting for the last couple decades. 😉
I am both a knitter and crocheter, I started with knitting and was told it was harder than crocheting, so I had to try both and see.. but to me they both relax and seem quite easy
I’ve knitted for years ‘Thanks Gram’ Crochet was a challange but I think I have that handled now too.. so I do both
When I was 16, an older woman that was in the choir with me at church taught me how to crochet. I took to it right away and loved it so much. 7 years later, when we were coming up on my son’s first Christmas, I taught myself how to knit so that I could make stockings for myself, my husband, and my son. I loved it so much and have learned so much more since starting!
My mom taught me how to crochet and then I took a knitting class.

I have knitted for years, now teaching myself how to crochet …. left handed no less. I have finished, two baby afghans and a baby sweater. Now to move on to some fancy afghan squares. Crochet does make traveling with projects much easier than knitting projects.

I crochet but I have not yet learned how to knit, but I want to some day.
I learned to knit first then to crochet. I do both regularly. I like each for different reasons. I enjoy the relaxation of knitting and the get it done attitude of crochet.
I leaned to crochet before I learned to knit but I’ve done both for years now. They are both very relaxing. All of my other projects end up giving me enough yarn to crochet scrap afghans that my family looks forward to getting!
I both knit and crochet. At the moment I´m knitting an afghan and crocheting a shawl.
I learned to crochet at age 7 and learned to knit after that, which is why I think I knit the continental way because I got used to holding the wool round my left index finger. Love crochet because there is less stitching and prefer to knit top down if possible so that I don’t have to stitch pieces together.
I am just learning to loom knit. Due to disabilities, not sure I could ever crochet.
As to using the yarn. I am starting with knitting hats.

I’m a knitter, but I actually learned to crochet first. I didn’t get very far – just a few simple projects and then set it aside. But when I picked up knitting, I loved it.
I would make myself a pretty colorful afghan. I usually give all my projects away. My hubby says he belongs to “Yarn-A-Non”
My older sister taught me how to crochet when I was a teenager and I finally learned to knit about 4 years ago. I love to do both. There are so many options to choose from and a wide variety when you can switch from one to the other.
I can knit a little but love to crochet! I love Lion Brand yarns!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I can make a crochet chain, but I never learned to do any more — it’s on my list of things to accomplish, though (right after I finish knitting my first vest).
My great grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 10 years old. I learned to knit in a high school home economics class, but it was only last year (40 years later) than I realized I was wrapping the yarn around my knitting needles in the wrong direction! LOL, my stockinette stitch no longer spirals and my finished objects look a whole lot better!
I am a knitter but do enjoy crocheting once in awhile. My mom taught me to knit when I was 8. Learned how to crochet on my own when in my 20’s. Both knitting and crocheting have a place in my life on a daily basis.

I have been taught both. Still just learning on both accounts:)
So cute!
I’ve only just started crocheting a couple months ago. I was given some knitting needles, but I’d like to get good at one before I start the other.
My mom taught me how to crochet years ago, knitting is on my bucket list for this year.
I’m a self taught knitter. I’ve tried to learn how to crochet. And others have tried to help me learn to crochet. But I just can’t get it. So it’s knitting for me. .
I learned to knit and crochet both when I was 5 years old. My grandmothers taught me. I still knit and crochet now. I would love to learn tatting though.
I’m willing to put down my knitting needles for a bit and pick up my crochet hooks to use this yarn if I win it.
I learned to knit in Home Ec back in high school and taught myself to crochet from a book when I was in my early 20s…..almost 40 years now.
I first learned to crochet when I was about 9 years old…nothing fancy, just a *really* long chain! About 6 years ago, I tried to learn more and ended up teaching myself the single, double, and triple crochet stitches (but lost interest after a couple weeks). I learned how to loom knit a few years after that, and recently picked crochet back up again; this time around, I’ve made one (big) granny square afghan, a bunch of shamrocks, a couple bookmarks (with crochet thread), and am currently working on a (baby) ripple afghan. My daughter’s begging me to teach her how to crochet and/or let her try to make something with some leftover yarn!
j ai appris a faire du crochet a l âge de 11 ans quand j étais au collège , en salle de permanence mon amie faisait un poncho au crochet pour le cours de loisirs , elle m as appris le minimum , depuis 46 ans ..ca ne m as jamais quitté ..j ai 57 ans ..et j ai bien sûr bien progressé ..c est devenu une passion
I am a chrocheter, and have tried to learn to knit, with indifferent results. Oh, well! 😉
I’m not a knitter… tried it a few times…I do love crocheting alot
Taught myself to crochet but I prefer knitting and the knitted fabric. Use crochet mostly in seaming or trimming.
I can crochet but can’t read the patterns. I’m a pretty good knitter and can usually decipher the patterns.
I learned to knit as a young girl, and then taught myself to crochet as a young woman. I lean toward knitting as my favorite, but sometimes crochet to shake it up a bitT
I crochet. I have knitted an afghan trying to teach myself how to knit. It turned out okay, but I am still learning.
Omigosh wouldn’t that yarn be beautiful knit into cowls for my family and friends!
My aunt taught me how to crochet when I was 6 years old. After several years of not doing anything with it, I picked it back up again in my early 20’s. I learned to knit in my early 40’s by watching YouTube videos. I prefer knitting because I like the look of it better, but if I need to turn out a quick project, I crochet. I hope I win the yarn! I’ve been learning entrelac knitting and that silk would be gorgeous… 🙂
I’m a knitter but I taught myself to crochet.
Mostly I crochet, but I usually have a knitting project on the go too.
I usually crochet because I find it easier; but my older sister taught me how to do basic knitting years ago. She’s passed away now, but I’d still like to try a couple of knitting projects again – the market bag looks awesome! 🙂
I am a crocheter, and I learned how to knit about 3 years ago. One of my friends taught me.
I can do both! I was knitting for almost a decade when crochet finally “clicked” for me. It makes finishing necklines on baby sweaters a breeze! Crochet is faster, but to me, knitting is usually prettier. Not in all instances, but a lot.
Began as a crocheter but taught myself to knit. I find crochet to be quicker and more relaxing. I’m not very accomplished in knitting! Hope to win those beautiful yarns!
I learned to crochet as a child and taught myself to knit as an adult. Now I do both, sometimes combining the two.
I am a self taught knitter.
I’m a crocheter and I taught myself to knit about 2 years ago. I still prefer crochet and whenever I do knit it takes a long time to finish a project.
Yes, I’m a self-taught knitter and crocheter
Knitter…want to learn to crochet!!!
Heeeeello!
Oh…hmm I really don’t remember what I learned first. I just remember I learned both in primary school….then stopped for a very, very long time and now started knitting again. Maybe I should give crocheting another chance aswell 😀
I am teaching myself to crochet and I am planning on learning to knit.
I am a crocheter, and I taught myself to knit enough to make a hot pad then left it alone so long I forgot how to do it again…
I come from a family of knitters with a few crocheters sprinkled in. I have always crocheted. I taught myself to knit and now I enjoy both. I would love to win the amazing giveaway. Please pick me 🙂
I have been knitting for about 40 years, have always wanted to learn to crochet but never got around to it, i will one day master it 🙂
Knit and crochet. Enjoy both. That yarn would make nice hats.
I learned how to knit first and then I learned how to crochet
I love doing both.
I love making new things and i think my next project is going to
Be the hexagon tote!
Happy crocheting
I would make a shawl or summer scarf plus some earrings if I won this prize.
Since this would go to my mother, I’ll answer for her: she crochet, and has never cared to learn to knit.
I crochet, but I plan on learning to knit!
I’m a knitter…the closest I’ve gotten to crocheting is a provisional cast on! Lol.
i’ve tried learning some knit stitches but i had a lot of trouble memorizing it, so i stuck with crochet.
I am a crocheter and have recently learned the basics
Of knitting. Still prefer crochet though.
I taught myself to knit and crochet a few years ago and still trying to figure it out… I LOVE YARN!!!! =)
I am knitter but can crochet a little!
I learned crochet first, at fifteen. Learning to knit (at 28) was not so easy. I couldn’t really get a handle on the “use tools in both hands” thing. 🙂 But I certainly still love my crochet!
I taught myself how to do both. Learning new stitches when you can watch . Makes it easier. Making a Prayer shaw .my own pattern.
Can’t win, as I live in the UK. But I am a knitter that has taken over 30 years to learn to crochet. The thanks for my new found skill goes to Vickie Howell & in a very big way to Staci Perry from Verypink.com – two very talented coaches. I now have two yarn crafts to fit in my very limited spare time, but very happy I can do both.
I have enjoyed both crocheting and knitting for years. First learned to knit from grandmother when I was a little girl and picked up crocheting from co-workers. Have loved passing on both to my granddaughter.
I just learned how to crochet, and knitting is next!
I first learned to knit from my mother..that lead to crochet, spinning, dyeing, felting. It helped that I had a dog who shed and I saved his hair to spin…:)) I have done needle felting and made little dogs…:))
I consider myself a crocheter, but last year I decided there was no reason I couldn’t learn to knit. My husband gave me 2 books for Christmas and I just got in there and taught myself. I started with a washcloth, then did a shawl for a friend, then bit the bullet and made a sweater for my husband which he loves. I finally made an afghan for a friend that took me 7 months, but turned out beautiful. But I’m still more comfortable crocheting. 🙂
I taught myself how to crochet many years ago. Now I am teaching myself to knit.
I always have both a crochet and a knitting project on the go. I knitted my first cardi with my mum when I was 6, that was over 50 years ago.
I am a crocher. My Mom tried to tried to teach me how to knit when I was young. I still don’t know how to knit.
I learned to crochet from my mother when I was 12. Still at it.
I crochet, but I don’t know h ow to knit. I’ve tried but I can’t seem to get the hang of the needles.
Oh those are my colors!!!!
I learned how to knit and crochet and was never proficient until my friend Amy taught me to knit and knit well. I love to do both and crochet when I have projects that need to be done quickly.
Love the colors.
I am just learning to crochet but I think that once I get it some what mastered I will move on to learning to knit as well!
I taught myself to both knit and crochet and enjoy doing both.
Not sure what I would make but it would be for me. Love the colors.
I am learning to crochet. I currently knit on a loom.
Not sure what I would make, but these are definitely my colors. Would love to work with it.
Mom and grandma were both knitters so I learned that first. I started crocheting a few years later and still enjoy both. I enjoy new challenges in both.
I’m not precisely sure what I would make but it will be something beautiful for my beautiful new granddaughter who was born yesterday. I have already sent 2 crocheted blankets, a knitted bunting bag, a knitted teddy bear and several headbands knitted and crocheted.
I learned how to crochet first and every now and then I play with knitting but its not as easy for me as crocheting is.
I learned to crochet as a kid and have not tried knitting.
I’ve been crocheting since my Granny taught me at 9yrs. I’ve been trying the knitting thing but I discovered loom knitting is easier. lol
I am a knitter who would like to learn to crochet!
I Just knit and spin…I’d like to crochet. I’m retired and still don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done!! Maybe I knit too much….NAH, that can’t be it!
Maybe it I WON some yarn I’d learn…..yeah, I’ll win some yarn!! Yayyyy
I crochet and I’m working on learning to knit.
I have crocheted for nearly 40 yrs. I tried knitting but it was confusing to me. Six years ago I tried again the “light bulb” went on. I just learned to knit socks.
I have been knitting since I was a child but recently I started to learn crochet With the help of videos on YouTube
I have been knitting for years, and taught myself to crochet about 3 yrs ago.
I am a knitter and I have tried to learn to crochet more than once but I never got the hang of it. I can crochet a boarder or a hot pad but that is about it.
I am learning to knit now and plan on learning to crochet as soon as I can.
I’ve been knitting for years, but I just recently learned to crochet and I LOVE it!!! I crochet almost every day 🙂
I learned to knit first then crochet. I like to do both.
My Granny taught me to crochet when I was 7 or 8 yrs old and a very good friend taught me to knit when I was 12. Now, 50 yrs later, I still love doing both and always have a WIP going.
I tried to learn to knit, but i found it ackward. Crocheting was easier fot me.
Learned how to crochet when young, learned to knit 2 years ago
I knit one scarf and then I learned to crochet.
If I won this yarn, I would knit or crochet an afghan to raffle off to raise money for the organization where I volunteer: All Aboard of America 1. We really need to move into a larger, cleaner facility and we had enough money, we could perhaps even buy a building.
I am a crocheter. I am trying to teach myself to knit though also. 🙂
I learned to knit from a family member when I was young, I could never get a handle on crocheting until adulthood, at this time I taught myself for the most part
I have been able to knit and crochet since I was 9 and have made many things over the last 40 years.
I have been a crocheter since my mom taught me in early childhood, but since my mom did not knit I did not learn how from her. A girl scout leader tried to teach us in elementary school, I tried to teach myself from a book many years ago, but now with the advent of internet tutorials I have embarked upon it again. I am teaching a friend how to crochet and a friend of hers is going to teach us both how to knit this summer!
I learned how to crochet and knit when I was younger .but learning so much more now that i can read patterns.
I’m a crocheter and tried to teach myself to knit. It’s harder than it looks.
Learned the basics of knit & crochet as a child. Have been focused on knitting the past few years but I would love to learn more crochet!
i crochet but have tried to knit
I crocheted for 30 years before my friend got me to try knitting. Now I love knitting socks!
I do both – knit and crochet but I prefer to knit. I learned how to knit & crochet when I was about 8 years old.
I learned to crochet when I was very little and just 3 years ago decided that I was going to learn to knit. I love both!
I learned how to crochet from a friends grandmother. She taught me how to make a granny square. I was 16. I couldn’t figure out how to stop so finally she taught me how to bind off after I had a 40 in granny square. Ha. I learned how to knit in my 20s and did the same thing with a scarf. My friend now has the prettiest 6 foot long scarf!
I started crocheting with my Grandma doing triple crochet blocks for a lace tablecloth at age 8
I didn’t start knitting until I self-taught myself at age 18. I preferred crochet until I started to make sweaters. Now it’s only knit
I already knit and crochet. My mother first taught me how to knit. When I knew how to do the main stitches (Knit and Pearl) she started to teach me how to crochet. I was taught chain stitch and the double crochet.
Now I am trying to teach my daughter how to knit and crochet. She tells me she is all thumbs.
Since I started her with knitting and she is having a hard time. I told her I will show her how to crochet. We don’t have much time since she lives out of state and we only get a few hours at a time. But we will get it done.
I would like to wish everyone GOOD LUCK
learned to knit at age 5 or so, learned to crochet at age 8. I do much better keeping to gauge knitting than crocheting
I do both. Gramma taught me as a child. Depends on the project and the “hand” I want in the finished product.
I am primarily a crocheter but I also knit.
My grandmother taught me to crochet years ago. I’m a new knitter and I love getting together with my friends to knit, talk, and laugh!
I learned how to crochet first from my mom and grandmother when I was about 10, and a little of the knitting. But I good at the basics of knitting. I took a class in high school and my aunt taught me a bit.
YES! after my first attempt at crochet failed I taught myself to knit. eventually picked a hooked back up and taught myself to crochet, now that i got the hang of it I prefer it over knitting. 😉
I have learned to do both.
I taught myself to knit and crochet. Now I do both depending on what I want to make.
I knit and crochet. I started crocheting at about 12. About 8 years ago, I decided that I needed to learn to knit to be “well rounded” so a friend of mine taught me.
l decided that I wanted to learn to knit when I learned that my sister in law was having a baby. It was always a tradition in my family to give and knitted blanket to the new baby. So I picked up a few supplies, wats a few videos, and off I went! Then, I saw all off the adorable amigurumi projects out there and decided that I would teach myself how to crochet as well. Turns out that hasn’t been easy for me to pick up as knitting and I’ve been having too much fun with all the knitting projects I’ve been tackling that I just haven’t gotten back to it yet! But it still out there for me to do and I’m sure I’ll get around to learning crochet eventually.
I love to crochet and teaching myself to knit 🙂 LOVE both !
I can knit two basic stitches very slowly, but I’m not giving up. I’ve been crocheting since I saw a bedspread my grandmother crocheted about 50 years ago.
I taught myself to crochet when i was a teen as I’m left handed and no one I knew that crocheted could teach me being they were right handed. A few years later I taught myself to knit. I have since been doing both. After 40 years I often have knitting and crocheting projects going at the same time!
Yes, I know both Crochet and Knitting. However, I can no longer remember which craft I learned first, as I had one grandmother who knitted and didn’t crochet and the other who crocheted but didn’t knit.
I learned to crochet in the 5 th grade, and to knit in 6th or 7th. I’m now a senior in college and avidly do both!
I am a crocheter, and a fairly new one at that. Once I get crocheting down pat, I’ll learn how to knit
I crochet have not learned to knit but would like too
I crochet have not learned to knit but would like too
I crochet, make blankets sweaters, hats. 🙂
I am both a knitter and a crocheter. I taught myself to crochet 27 years ago, and (finally) taught myself to knit five years ago. I love both crafts equally, because they serve different purposes. 🙂 I teach myself whatever craft tickles my fancy, because I love the challenge of learning new things and adding new skills to my repertoire.
I can just barely knit and, no, I have not learned to crochet.
The question is also asked about what I would make. I would give the yarn to a friend who makes baby blankets, prayer shawls, scarves, hats, afghans, etc. She gives them away for free.
I would make baby cocoons
I am a knitter!! I have not learned how to crochet yet but I am working on it!! I have just been so busy knitting things up for friends and family I haven’t had time to sit down and learn how crochet. I would like to learn in the near future!!
I knit have knitted for years. I also crochet thanks to my Aunt who taught me!
love doing both.
I learned both as a child and enjoy both.
I’m a knitter and I have tried many times to crochet. I don’t seem to be able to do it very well, um, my squares are never quite square. Finally I invented my own stitch and use it if I want to make a dishcloth or squares for an afghan! My mother wanted to know what stitch it is and I told her I didn’t know! So she watched me do it and she didn’t know either! LOL 😀
My mom taught me to crochet when I was a kid. I have taught myself to knit a few years ago, and I’m a grandma now. Have to say, crochet is still my fav.
I do both for many many years. I think I started knitting first then learned to crochet.
I’m strictly a crocheter. I tried knitting, but couldn’t get the hang of purling. Someday I’ll try again.
I used to crochet years ago. guess I for got how, but then I started knitting.
My grandma was proficient in both. She taught me to crochet when I was just a teenager and tried to teach me to knit, but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I love how knit looks, so decided to try again last year (I’m now 39!) and I can knit pretty well know, it’s just very slow going, so my preferred art is still crochet!
I learned to knit first, but I prefer crochet
I learned both from my mother but taught myself to tat.
I would crochet dish cloth.
I was taught by my Granny when I was 7. I just taught my 9 year-old granddaughter how to crochet. 🙂
my grandmother taught me to crochet when I was little and I taught myself to knit, Love them both but would rather crochet it goes faster for me. its my quiet time for myself.
I can do simple knitting{k-p},but I enjoy crocheting very much.
I do both, knit and crochet
I have learned to do both and loom knit – love the variety it allows! Can’t wait to try something with this beautiful yarn!
I am a knitter but I really want to learn how to crochet but I have been so busy knitting up thing for family and friend that I haven’t had time to learn how to crochet. I hope soon to teach myself!
My mother taught me how to crochet (Or at least tried too) when I was younger. It wasn’t until I moved up to Alaska that I learned from watching tutorials. As for knitting, watching my big sister and having her teach me how to knit was how I learned. Although I hold the yarn like I’m crocheting which drives her nuts!
Taught myself to both knit and crochet as a young girl from an old booklet my Mom had. Love doing both and switch between them regularly. I am now a grandmother of 8 and going strong.
I’m a crocheter learning to knit :/
i love knitting hand/machine but i can-not get the hang of crochet this is a lovely win.
I crochet. I’ve never been able to get knitting even though I’ve tried. I love to crochet.
I learned to knit first, but yarn crafts became way more exciting for me once I got into crochet <3
I love to crochet and knit! I learned to crochet first, but it definitely made me a better knitter.
My grandmother taught me to knit 45 years ago and I taught myself to crochet when I was a teenager. Knitting is my favorite way to go and I love a the different Lyon Brand yarns. I got a job in a fabric/craft store so I could afford my habit 🙂
I knit and crochet, but is taught myself to crochet first.
i have been knitting since i was 5 i am now 63yrs.
Mom taught me to crochet when I was a young teenager. Learned some (very) basic knitting as a middle-aged adult.
I learned to crochet first, then knit.
My paternal Grandmother taught me to knit. My maternal Grandmother taught me to crochet. The crochet stuck! I can barely knit! Love, love, love yarn!
I taught myself how to crochet using a book when I was in my early twenties. When I was in my early fifties, I saw so many beautiful knitted items and then taught myself to knit with help from different knitting sites on the net. I am still learning the ins and outs of knitting but have managed to knit several scarfs, hats and sweaters, some of which were lace! For me, crocheting is much faster but I love the challenge of knitting!
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 7. A friend tried teaching me to knit at 37 – 9 years later, I still haven’t mastered knitting!
I learned how to crochet before knitting. I find knitting comes much easier to me.
I have been learning to knit for a few years so far, I’m not crazy about it yet but I keep trying. I can crochet tons better, I’ve made mittens hats, scarfs, shawls, jewelry. Nothing very big, I am looking forward to doing dresses and blouses. I have been collecting patterns for a really long time, someday I will dive in and just do it.
I am still hoping to learn how to knit, but first I need to get more versatile at crochet.
I learned to knit first, taught myself to crochet 4 months ago and actually prefer to crochet over knitting now!
I am a crocheter, and am learning to knit right now. I love both so far.
I can both knit and crochet. I love switching it up and doing both. I really enjoy seeing thing form from nothing into something and that I made it is cool
I am equally versed in both knitting and crochet.
My Grandma taught me how to crochet when I was a little girl…but I never got past making a long rope type thing. My mother-in-law taught me how to knit when my babies were born…and I made a few sweater for them. Then I discovered the knitting looms and was addicted to that for a long time. Now I am back to crochet….and thanks to YouTube videos and several books I can do more than just make ropes! I’m doing Entrelac crochet now and I love it!
I am a crocheter. I have tried to knit, but can’t figure out what to do with the second hook.
I know how to knit and crochet, but prefer knitting.
I can crochet and knit and I can also TAT.
I can crochet and knit and I can also TAT.
I am mainly a knitter, but I am slowly teaching myself to crochet. Thank god for uTube, as it helps me when I don’t understand a technique!
I taught myself to crochet at age 9 and I have been knitting now for a bit over 2 years. Learning a lot.
I crochet and would love to learn to knit – just haven’t “found” the time to sit down and learn!
I am a knitter….tried crocheting; have a hard time knowing what stitch to crochet in for certain patterns and I end up with a ball or something crooked. I keep trying…I did manage a crocodile stitch swatch after many hours on a YouTube video.
I learned to knit a year before I learned to crochet. I’m not sure I classify myself as one or the other. I’m just a yarnie.
I’m a knitter who once knew how to crochet many years ago. I would learn again if I win some yarn. 😉
I am a self taught crocheter and I dont know how to knit…. yet!
I am self taught knit & crochet!!! It’s my passion
I knit and crochet. I tend to crochet things that I need to complete quickly. However there are a few things that just need to be knitted. Things like Irish Fisherman afghans and sweaters.
I learned to crochet when I was 10 from my grandmother. Then I learned to knit in high school while in Girl Scouts. I have learned to Tunisian crochet a couple of years ago.
I am trying to teach myself to crochet with youtube videos. Would love suggestions on good you tube videos to help me learn crochet. I taught myself how to knit through youtube, dvd instructions and books.
Forgot to say I am mainly a knitter
I have been taught over the years to do both. I started out as a crocheter…and then picked up knitting as I got older. My grandma and mom have taught me.
I am a knitter, have taken a class to learn to crochet, but had as hard time. I have not given up yet. I have an acquaintance who said she’d help me…
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 6 or 7. I am 63 and have been crocheting ever since. I took a knitting class when I was in my thirties and learned the basics. When I retired at 62 I took a refresher course in knitting but crochet is still where I am most comfortable. Either method, I love pretty yarn.
I knit some when I was little, but now I crochet. I’d pick up knitting again, but I’m having fun crocheting!
I tried to learn to crochet but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I stick to knitting.
I taught myself to do both many years ago. Being left handed and everyone around me, right handed I had to learn by reading and doing what the words said, because the pictures in the books back then were pretty much for the right handed learner. Would love to win this prize.
I can barely make a chain in crochet but I do know the basics of knitting with round needles
I learned to crochet when I was about ten, then learned to knit when I was almost twenty.
I am a knitter and I did learn to crochet when I was a kid. My mom taught me. Then here recently, I learned to knit and taught my mom. 🙂
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 10. I taught myself to knit when I was 12. I’m in my late 50s and love both but crochet more than I knit.
My grandma taught me to crochet when I was a little girl. I tried teaching myself to knit once but the scarf I was working on kept getting wider & wider with each row. I gave it up & I’ve never tried again.
Was taught to knit by my mother, but was always scared to death of dropping a stitch. Was taught to crochet by a friend on a long drive, and the next time I was knitting and dropped a stitch it was a true Eureka moment! I just grabbed my crochet hook and re-threaded the stitch! Love to do both now!
Learned to Crochet about 20 years ago with my mom, and now I’m learning to knit as I teach my own girls.
I’m a knitter who learned to crochet – self taught.
I knit and crochet. I love both. When I was a little girl, a dear aunt taught me how to knit (with pencils) and crochet with my fingers. Later, a co-worker taught me how to read patterns. I’ve been sharing my love for needle arts ever since then.
I sort of taught myself how to crochet with guidance. and learned to knit by myself but with a neighbour’s help. .
Lovely scarves…
I am crocheter and i’ve been trying to learn how to knit. Gonna start taking lessons soon so i can get the hang of it! 🙂
I learned to crochet at 5yrs old and knit at 12yrs old. I usually have a project of each going all the time. I always carry a project where ever I go cause you never know if you have to wait.
I crochet constantly. When I was a teenager I knitted one sweater and went back to crocheting. now that I’m older I would like to relearn to knit.
I am a crocheter, and i learned last year how to knit. Im not very good at it yet.
I originally was learning to crochet and didn’t feel I was doing so great with what I was being taught, so I taught myself to knit via the internet. I am a lot more comfortable knitting but I can crochet enough to make edges on my knits.
Love knitting and crocheting for my family and friends.
I love to crochet but don’t have the coordination to knit. As a result, I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who can!
I can do both. Just depends what kind of project I am working. Life is much better when working with yarn.
First of all my mother learned me knitting then I started learning crochet my self .
I taught myself crochet and then to knit … Thanks to your website!!
I’m a crocheter who learned how to knit slippers. I recently taught myself to loom knit as well – hats mostly. But in the end, crochet will always be my first love.
karla
I taught myself to knit in college using one of those learn to crochet booklets. I also knit. I consider myself a beginner + in both skills.
I learned how to crochet as a kid from my great aunt
And I learned his to knit in a after school program in 7th grade.
I just love to knit. Every once in awhile I’ll crochet.
I do both left handed.
I learned to knit and crochet as a child. First from my Mother and Grandmother, then in school. It was a mandatory craft class and we not only learned knitting and crocheting, but also sewing (by hand and with machine) and stitching (cross stitch mostly). When my daughter was little I crocheted and knitted dresses for her, now it is sweaters and gloves, scarves and hats.
I love to keep my hands busy and what better way to do it than to make something useful. Crocheting stuffed animals for christmas and birthdays, making ornaments and small tokens, just because. Right now I am knitting a baby blanket in squares, without making the squares separately, all in one piece. I like to change patterns to make them easier and faster.
I know how to knit but haven’t been able to teach myself how to crochet, yet.
I can crochet and knit. I learned how to knit only several years ago.
I crochet, but have never learned to knit. I’d love to though.
I do both and get the strangest looks from knitters when I crochet instead of knitting! LOL Thank you, Mum and grandma for teaching me both!!!!
I am learning both right now! I have always wanted to learn and 40 is not too old to teach yourself something new and cool!!
Oops I meant crochet.
I am a knitter and I crochet enough to get by.
I just started to crochet about a year ago. I would like to become a little better at crochet before I attempt to knit. But I do plan on learning knitting sooner or later.
My great grandma taught me to crochet when I was about 7 or 8. My sissy tries to teach me to knit. It’s not working real well.
I learned to from my grandmother to crochet first and a year later knitting. Love both. But knit much more. Like the way knitting looks for wearables.
I crochet and I knit. My mother taught me how to knit when I was quite young. I taught myself how to crochet from “how to” pages of crochet magazines when I was about 16. Thank you for the giveaway
I used to crochet some then I learned about the loom. Now I love it. I do scarves, hats, newborn hats, headbands and headbands for babies. Love it.
I just recently learned to crochet, so knitting will be my next skill to learn! 🙂
I’m a knitter and I just learned how to crochet a few weeks ago, I’ve already crocheted a scarf and a shawl!
Since I didn’t learn any crafts until in my 30’s, I wanted to experience it all – so now I knit and crochet and love learning new stitches with both disciplines!
I learned to crochet from my grandmother, she never knew how to knit. I tried to teach myself and failed miserably. One day I will learn!
I learned to crochet when I was eight. My mother-in-law taught me how to knit 3 years ago.
My grandmother taught me, when I was very young, how to knit while we were at the family camp in Maine. My mother taught me how to crochet when I was in my late 40s and she was crocheting for charity. she also taught me to knit in the round and we made numerous baby caps for charity. She passed away in 2010 at age 90. I miss her terribly!
I crochet and dont how to knit.
I’ve been crocheting for over 40 years and learned to knit about 8 years ago.
I’m primarily a knitter but I actually learned to crochet first – both crafts when I was a kid. I took to knitting more once I had figured it out, because it goes faster for me on account of being able to do it without looking at the work as much, because the stitches are all lined up on the needle where I can work them by feel. So knitting can happen while watching TV, etc., more easily than crochet! I still sometimes use crochet for edgings on knitted projects, or to crochet the ruffle scarves that are popular nowadays, but other than that I don’t do many purely crocheted projects. But it’s my sister’s 10th anniversary this year and there’s a filet crocheted wall hanging with her name & her husband’s that I started making when she first got married that I really should bring out and finish now that it’s been 10 years!
I am a crocheter and I am trying to learn how to knit but is difficult for me, I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
I consider myself more of a crocheter than a knitter; however, I learned how to knit first. My Gramme, who loves to knit, taught me when I was about 8. I knitted a few scarves and things but never really got into it. I taught myself how to crochet later on, and really loved it. I still knit and want to get more advanced at it, but crochet is my favorite. I would love to crochet this bag for my Gramme for her to use for her knitting supplies!
I’m a 10+yr knitter who taught myself to crochet with a little help from a niece and YouTube. First thing I ever crocheted was a flower for a headband. I like to jump right in and skip the getting to know you phase of learning a new stitch, second project was a scalloped scarf. It’s been a fun journey incorporating my crochet skills into my knitting.
I am a knitter and a crocheter. I have been doing both for many years, but recently have been working on learning new skills in both. Can’t choose between them!
I taught myself to knit with a booklet bought at the local Perry’s five & dime store. I had a friend of my mom’s teach me to crochet one summer in exchange for some help canning tomatoes and bread and butter pickles. To this day I still love the taste of bread and butter pickles!
I crochet. I learned to knit to make Sashay scarves. I found the knitting version easier than the crochet. I have not gone any farther than that.
I enjoy doing both..I learned to knit first when I was about 10…and I learned to crochet by book about 10 years ago…..I am right now working on a knitted afghan for one of my daughter n laws…as well as crocheting two baby blankies..one for my great nephew and my next door neighbors little girl…as well as tryng to finish an afghan for myself….I dont make much for myself…with 13 grandchildren… 🙂
I LOVE to crochet but have not yet learned to knit. I may someday, but as of now crocheting is fulfilling enough for me! =)
My grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet. I think of her offen when I’m working on a project
I only know how to crochet now but would love to learn how to knit one day.
I love to crochet. My knitting skills need work. I have also tried tatting. This also takes skills i have yet to master.
I have crocheted since I was a child and recently learned how to knit…
I consider myself a crocheter. However, I also know how to knit – just not as well as I know crochet. I actually learned to knit first. Then at age 13 I learned to crochet a granny square. I taught myself everything else I know and am not afraid to tackle anything. When I was pregnant with my son I took a knitting class and learned the continental method of knitting and am better than I was many many years ago.
My husband would not agree, but I need more yarn!
I’ve been crocheting and knitting since the age of 5 so it’s been over 40 years 🙂
I love to crochet and knit.
I learned to knit in school a long time ago. Then taught myself to crochet.
I learned to knit first and then crochet.
I do both. I taught myself to crochet when I was 7 years old, then used 2 sharpened pencils and taught myself how to knit when I was 9. I find both enjoyable. For years I didn’t have as much patience with knitting as crochet, but I would now consider myself advanced beginner to intermediate in knitting. In crochet, I’m master level.
My mother taught me crochet as a young girl… I taught myself to knit about four years ago… I think I prefer knitting though!
Love it! I am a knitter
I learned both as a child (I don’t recall which was first) and used to be predominately a crocheter. Now I mostly knit and use crochet for edging.
Mom taught me to knit at about5, learned to crochet in my teens!
I learned to crochet when I was 9 and found it easy. I didn’t try to learn knitting until I was in my 20’s, I still struggle with it and would like to be better at knitting. When I can crochet well, I wonder if it’s worthwhile, but I know lots of people do both well. I should start at the beginning and practice, practice, practice! The silk yarn would make a delicious shawl in either craft.
I’m a pretty good crocheter and am dedicating this year to learning to knit. All projects I do this year while learning different stitches/techniques (scarves, hats, mittens, sweater(?)) will be donated to our local homeless shelter so free yarn? Heck yeah!
I crochet, but I have been learning to knit!
I love to knit, I have learned to crochet as well, but I definitely prefer knitting.
Yes, I am a knitter that taught myself to crochet – with a little help from my Mom. Crocheting is fast and a fun needlecraft for me.
I learned to knit first and it took soo long. Then I learned to crochet and I’ve been “hooked” ever since!
My son’s grandmother taught me to crochet while I was pregnant with him. My first project was his baby blanket. It turned out perfect. I have crochet ever since with her and my mother. Now that I have a daughter she is crocheting with me. My mother and I have been learning to knit as well, our first projects are infinity scarfs. Should be interesting to see how they turn out. Once I get the hang of it I will teach my daughter.
I learned both as a child but mostly knit now (sorry if this is left twice, but I don’t see my earlier post).
Yes! I enjoy doing both!
I would have to knit a beautiful scarf with the silk, then crochet some kitchen items with the cotton.
I’m a knitter and I taught myself to crochet. I just know the basics
Tote bag is really cute! I knit and crochet, but prefer knitting. I have also knitted and crocheted with beads to make bracelets. Great fun, all of it!!!
I do both actually. But I’m way more proficient at knitting.
I am a knitter, but I was able to learn enough crochet to do finishing, when it is called for.
so easy, just grab on of your crochet hooks and crochet your dropped stitch until your back on your needles. hope it helps.
I am a crocheter who has tried to knit and is STILL trying to knit!!!!! lol! I can not get past a 6×6″ square without dropping a stitch!!!!!…and I have no patience to learn how to “pick it back up”! lol! =)
Been crocheting since grade school and enjoy it. Would love to try this yarn.
I love to knit, but have recently taught myself to crochet. I love the finished store like quality of a knitted item, but I do like how quickly something crochets up.
I’m a knitter who is trying to learn to crochet! It’s coming slowly but surely.
I learned to do both as a child!!
My mother taught me both. But I never took to knitting. After dropping stitches and never being able to pick them back up I gave up! The tote bag is cute. I may just try to make that!
I crochet and loom knit.Still need to learn to needle knit which I will learn to do from you tube. They have some great teachers on there.
I’m a knitter, but learned to crochet years ago from a set of lessons from Annie’s Attic. I still crochet from time to time if I see a pattern I like, but I much prefer knitting.
A wonderful grandma type neighbor at a summer camp taught me to knit at age 10 then my sister taught me to crochet the following year! been an addict ever since.
I am a knitter, but I have done a few items in crochet.
i am bi-craftual, I can do both, although I enjoy knitting more, but love to crochet when I want to accomplish something quickly!
I can crochet a single line. LOL My grandma taught me that much when I was much younger. I’m now 36 and teaching myself to knit.
I am a knitter and crochet a little bit, I think being left handed is the reason.
Strictly a knitter and figure I should become good at it before I start to crochet
I learned to knit when I was 10, then proceeded to learn to crochet when I was 12. Since then I’ve learned almost all the hand crafts. This was many, many years ago. I still do both.
I haven’t learned to knit yet, but I’d like to some day.
I’m a knitter of over 10 years who just learned to crochet…somewhat! I need practice but it’s all good!
I have been a long time crocheter and started knitting 8 years ago.
love the wool and colours pity the contest does not stretch to ireland. just love new wools to add to my collection
I am a knitter and have done crocheting … I still like knitting better.
I’m multicraftual 🙂 I think I knit before I crocheted.. it’s been over years! Kitchen cotton would be used for the “kids” all moving into their own places..something from Aunty to get them started… the silk would be for me.. sorry kids! 🙂
I love to knit. I do it everyday. I’m about to learn how to crochet as I hear it is even easier to learn and then knitting.
I have been knitting and crocheting for many years. My grandmother taught me how to do both when I was young.
Just recently have “resurrected” my crocheting skills and am now doing prayer shawls in both knit and crochet for a change of pace.
I started sewing, knitting, crocheting and cooking since the age of 10 yrs. old mostly taught by my mother. I am 56 yrs. old now and still continue to do all of the above and love it.. I have learn so many different stitches and recipes over the years and never afraid to try something new…
I both crochet an knit, but I find I knit more now. I learned to crochet when I was quite young and spent a lot of my childhood crocheting toys.
I’m a knitter that has tried to learn crochet..but not very well
I have been knitting for 40 years but have never got beyond crocheting granny squares.
I can knit and crochet. My grandmother taught me how but I can crochet better than knit.
I’m a knitter and the extent of my crocheting abilities extend to crochet cast-on and crochet edging when knitting. I would life to learn crochet and tatting , though.
My Grandmother tried to teach me to knit when i was a kid. and i first tried to pick it up again at first… but still, i found it difficult. so i became a self taught crocheter!
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was in my 20’s. I’m learning to knit now and knit more tgan I crochet.
I knit and crochet. I have been crocheting since age 6 and I taught myself to knit in my twenties. I love to do both and alternate between the two depending upon my mood.
Crochet, never learned to knit.
I learned to knit as a teen from a book., but could never do any stitch other than “knit”.
I crochet and never learned to knit. I do want to, have the needles and everything.
I would make hats an scarfs to give to children and the homeless or prayer shawls and lapgans for nursing homes.
I’m a beginning knitter, but am also interested in learning to crochet so I can make some cute flowers for my knitted hats!
Crochet first and then learned to knit
I have been knitting since I was 5 years old, made first sweater, one of my favorite pictures is of me knitting that sweater. Started crocheting shortly after that. Mom and Grandma were always with needles doing something and I followed in there footsteps.
I knit and crochet and love them both!
I’m mainly a crocheter, but I have learned to knit and have been doing more of it lately, although I still mostly crochet.
I LEARNED HOW CRCHE AS A CHILD BUT NEVER LEARNED TO KNIT.
I am learning to chrochet. I am working on learning my doubles right now with great frustrations.
I just taught myself how to crochet in September. I would like to learn how to knit as well but I figured I better learn one thing at a time. 🙂
i can crochet but i never learned to knit but i would love to learn
My mom taught me how to crochet when I was little, but 5 years ago, I my cousin was knitting prayer shawl’s for her church and I decided that I needed to learn how to knit, so I taught myself. LOVED, every minute of it, I haven’t really crocheted much since then.
I learned to knit as a child from my Granny, but she always started it for me, so now I have no clue how to begin
I’m an avid crochet-er. I know the basics of knitting – that’s as far as I’ve gotten…
I started with crochet and then learned to knit.
I’ve crocheted for decades but just in the past week am I learning to knit. This is hard!
crochet gives knitting just that little BOOST to make it extra-special….
decorating edges edges got me hooked!!
I crochet and tried to learn knitting long time ago. I didn’t get it. I do want to try again.
yes, yes. late mom taught me to crochet first. as a young child. she taught me the basics of knitting a few years later.
I’m a knitter, but I’ve made it my mission this year to learn to crochet. You can make such cute things with crochet, and I want to learn how to do that!
I started as a knitter and learned to crochet later. Now I love doing both!
I mainly knit, but I’ve learned to crochet to make borders on my knitting.
I have crocheted for years. I recently knitted a dish cloth, but I don’t know if I could ever make anything else.
I have crocheted since college, but only learned to knit in the past couple years.
I’ve been crocheting for over 20 years. I finally taught myself to knit but not liking it very well. Knitting is a slow process and I’m very impatient. I figure why knit something that will take me two weeks that I can crochet in a few hours.
I have been crocheting since I was about 8. I have tried to learn to knit, I just don’t have the interest! I make quilts, and other crafts, I just don’t want to add another right now!
My mother taught me to knit when I was 3 years old and I taught myself how to crochet when I was 21, married & had a baby. I love doing both so much….it is so relaxing and calming to sit in the evening and unwind with my current project. LOVE IT!!!
I’ve always been a crochet lover since my teens
I started out a crocheter and then learned to knit too…now I do both equally, if I won this giveaway, I would make prayer shawls for the cancer patients at our local hospital oncology wing. I have one finished and am on no. 2..but I’d love to make a lot more..*S*
I learned to knit in high school from a book, taught myself crochet from YouTube in Hawaii after college, and just now getting back into knitting in Germany where it’s chilly!
I know how to both knit and crochet. Got a little instruction in crochet from adults in my life when I was a kid, but most of it’s self-taught, and I completely taught myself knitting.
Yes, I do both.
Taught myself to crochet in 5th grade then taught myself to knit when I was 20. Prefer knitting these days.
I knit and crochet. Used silk yarn for the firsttime this winter, loved it
I do both and love doing both. I decide by the pattern I want to do. I get bored easily, so if I’m making something large, I take breaks and make several small, quick things while I’m working on the afghan or shawl. Switching back and forth keeps me sharp and gives me lots of new and challenging things to learn.
I learned to crochet first, then I learned how to knit. I do both. Sometimes when I am knitting I need my crocheting skills. I am a better crocheter because I use my knitting skills. Some of my projects use both techniques.
i am a crocheter, but i have bought the knitting needles and can watch utube. so why haven’t i started??
I’ve dabbled in crochet but not as good with it as I am with knitting. I sure would love to win this, the colors are so pretty 🙂
I knit, but occasionally I’ll find a pattern that makes me wishe I knew how to crochet!
I’m a crocheter. I can knit with a loom (yeah I know that is cheating) but I hope to one day learn to knit with needles.
I crochet. Knitting looks daunting! Too many needles. 🙂
I first learned to knit n high school, which is fun in itself, however, because I am a left handed knitter, it just took me longer to finish. I taught myself to crochet. The left handed business is the same. I love to crochet more than knit, as the projects seem to go faster with crocheting. I love yarning. I love the patterns that you show on the web site. I am an avid yarner. God Bless, and have a Blessed weekend.
I taught myself to knit from a library book decades ago at age 11. I also taught myself to crochet from a library book at age 25. I would probably teach myself the same way today!
I taught myself to crochet from a book at age 50, 8 years ago, so I could crochets edgings on knitted projects. Since then, I’ve grown to love it as much as knitting (which I’ve done since age 7) and usually have both knit and crochet projects in progress.
I’m in, and a long-time fan! I do some crochet and am learning to knit (verrrry slowly). 🙂
I have only been crocheting for a few years and don’t knit at this time. But I would really like to learn to knit.
I have been knitting over 20 years.
The bases were taught to me by my aunt, and I learned the skills according to Burda magazines. I was afraid to crochet. Now I knit and crochet. For me knitting is a relax especially at the time of viewing of shows
I first learned to crochet in grade school. I quit for a long time and tried knitting….then went back to crochet. 🙂 However, my husband really wants a 4th Doctor scarf and I have purchased all the yarn needed including knitting needles. So I guess I’ll be learning to knit soon. 🙂
My mom taught me how to crochet when I was very young. When I was about 25 I wanted to learn how to knit, so I bought a how-to book and have been knitting and crocheting ever since. I make hat for premies at the hospital and am starting to make hats and scarfs for the homeless for next winter.
I learned to knit 60 years ago at my Grandmother’s knee and I taught myself to crochet a hat for my daughter 41 years ago When I got stuck I would call my Mother on the phone for help
I have used both crafts every year since and still love them I especially like to learn new stiches
I would love to win this lovely yarn.
I crochet, and taught myself to knit a few years ago.
I am both 🙂
I learned to crochet when I was six. I learned to knit when I was fourteen. prefer crochet. the bag is stunning. I like the colors used.
I do both, but knitting is my first love. My brother (yes, brother) and I learned to knit from a book when I was in the 3rd grade. My grandmother taught me how to crochet. Love all my needlecrafts.
I learned to crochet as a teen from my stepmother, but in later years I always wanted to learn to knit. Finally after the kids were grown and life was more settled, I learned how at my LYS. Now I am proficient at both – a crocheter for 45 years, a knitter for 6 years – and thoroughly enjoy the versatility.
I know the basic stitch in crochet, as a kid I used to make my dolls outfits. As a teen I picked up knitting and have not looked back. I plan on checking out all the new crochet stitches soon
I learned to crochet first, then learned to knit. Unfortunately, I have an arthritic thumb that prevents me from crocheting now. But I’m a knitting wonder! 😀
I have crocheted ever since I was a little girl (I”m 54 now) and never was able to get the hang of knitting, although I keep trying every now and then.
LOVE to knit and crochet!
My Daughter in law taught me how to crochet last summer when we were visiting them.It helped us to bond more.
my mom taught me to knit when I was a kid. as an adult I taught myself to crochet.
I love crochet, but I would like to learn to knit.
I learned to crochet first and then learned to knit very soon after.
I’m a crocheter that knits also. As someone in some group somewhere coined, I’m bicraftual.
I knit and crochet, but if I need to whip up something quick it will always be done in crochet.
I crochet & I have taught myself to knit via book tutorials & YouTube videos!
The silk yarn is beautiful! I would love to feel it flow through my fingers. I just had a new grand daughter yesterday and would love to make her a little cardigan out of that skein.
I knit and crochet, however, knitting is not my favorite. My girlfriend tells me that when she watches me knit, she has pain…. As in, painful to watch. I can crochet up a storm alll night with great pleasure.
I knit and I taught myself how to crochet. I made a couple of dishcloths, but I am more comfortable with knitting.
i crochet and try to learn how to knit…i learn it when i was young but never pratice since
Learned to crochet first with yarn. Graduated to thread. Then taught myself to knit. I now knit more than I crochet. Now if I can only get the hang of tatting.
I knit, haven’t learned to crochet yet
My mother taught me to do both:)
My mother taught me to do both:)
I crochet but am trying to learn how to knit.
I was taught crochet as a child. It was like riding a bike and I picked it up
again as an adult. Always wanted to learn how to knit and through the
gentle encouragement of a co~worker learned a few years ago. Now I knit
more than crochet.
I started knitting at 5. Taught myself (with a how to book) to crochet at 14. Will never know it all, it is too much fun learning new techniques.
I first learned how to knit and then taught myself how to crochet. Now I do both frequently!
I started with loom knitting, moved to traditional knitting, and then took up crocheting, which my Mom had tried to teach me before the progression started, but in which I had no interest at the time. I think it’s incredibly valuable to know both–they both have their benefits.
I do knit although I’m still leaning, I do not know how to crochet a friend tried to teach me but it didn’t go so well. I would like to take another chance at it
I love this yarn and am an avid crocheter, your patterns are amazing.
I crochet and am in the midst of learning to knit. It’s so hard for me…
My mum showed me how to do both when I was 8.
I have been knitting since I wa 6 years old (my oldest sister taught me) and my next older sister taught me to crochet by the time I was 9 or 10! So I have 40 plus years under my belt! BTW – I really like the hexagon tote. It has been in my queue for too long now. Time to make one.
Yes, I do both, but much prefer crochet, and can make projects much more quickly thereby. I learned to knit in girl scouts in 5th or 6th grade, about the same time my Mom taught me how to crochet. First knit project was a scarf (never finished) and first crochet was a purse, black yarn with gold metallic running through it.
A friend taught me how to knit while on vacation last June. A few months later i taught mysrlf how to crochet by watching youtube videos 🙂
I am a knitter who wants to learn to crochet. I have given it a couple of half-hearted attempts, but am going to make it a goal for the summer.
I taught myself both as a child on the farm (not much else to do!) but I think crochet is easier than knitting. Although I love the look of knitting better…
Not enough time in a day to do all the neat patterns I see! 😀
My mom taught me how to crochet when I was five and my grandmother taught me how to knit when I was 13. I used to really only love knitting, but in the last few years I have come to love crochet just as much!
I was taught to crochet by my mother when I was ten. Once I mastered it she tried to teach me to knit but I hated it. Fast forward to 8 years ago and my friends started knitting, I wanted to do it too. So with a little help from my mother in law and some books, I taught myself to knit. I happily do both and sincerely wish there were more patterns out there that have booth in it. A nice knitted top with a crocheted lace border would be nice.
I am a Beginner at both Knitting & Crocheting! Love both!! This bag looks like a pattern that I can do! Yeah!
I fortunately can do both and taught myself each craft. I’ve really enjoyed it and hope to continue for many years with them.
I learned to crochet before I learned to knit & I’m definately a knitter!
I am a crocheter but have learned to knit, too.
My mother taught me to crochet when I was very young. My mom always wanted to learn to knit so after she passed I decided to honor her memory by learning how to knit. I love to knit now but still crochet. Love you MOM!
I was fortunate to learn both as a child so I can proudly say I am a crocheter and a knitter.
I have been knitting for years but have been unable to figure out how to crochet.
I first learned to crochet when I was about 9 then I taught myself to knit when I was in my 20s. I still do both depending on what I want to make.
I actually knit but don’t know how to crochet. I’d love to learn, though.
My mother taught me to knit and to crotchet. I learned to knit at about age 4 and to crotchet when I was about ten. Knitting was easier then than crotchet and it still is. Crotchet makes my hand cramp.
At 10 my mother’s friend took the time to show me the basics of both crafts and I have alternated between the two, loving the feel of the yarn through my fingers and the soft sound of needles sliding through threads.
My mother taught me to crochet as a child. I don’t even remember how old I was. I think pre-teen. Made a few baby blankets for my children but never really finished a project that I started until about 3 years ago, now I can’t even count how many items I have made. I got back into it by watching YouTube tutorials and crocheting along. Since then I have been able to read patterns. I would love to do the same for knitting. I have tried on my own but it’s not working out so much. It’s the next thing on my bucket list, along with tatting which I refused to learn from my grandmother as a child, and now wish I had. There is nothing better than lovingly making a homemade blanket, baby sweater or baby blanket for those you love. I get such a rush walking through the yarn section of the stores. I walk through and dream what can I make with that color.
I crocheted when I was in high school. Now I knit!
My mom taught me how to do both. I always liked crocheting better but I’ve started knitting more over the past few years.
I liked you under the name I use on Facebook, which isn’t the same name I use anywhere else, so I hope that will work.
I both knit and crochet. Learned to knit when I was just a girl, my grandma taught me. I taught myself to knit several years ago, from a book. I really enjoy both, and sometimes will mix them both in one project.
I can knit and crochet both. I love both.
My mom taught me the basics of knitting and it shot off from there, she also taught me some basic crochet and there is were it has remained, can’t read a crochet pattern to save my life, but I can make a scarf and a scrap blanket.
I crochet and have attempted to learn how to knit.
I struggle with knitting, so crochet is what I do the most of.
I learned to crochet first, then learned to knit. I am much better at crochet than I am at knitting. But I enjoy both 🙂
I learn to crochet when I was VERY young, my mom was my teacher. She used to make dresses of my sisters and me, and tons of other beautiful things, especially for babies. I married and came to the states. About 3 years ago I joined a church who had a knitting night and I went. But I really learn to knot watching videos in YouTube. Im still learning but, every time I have a question or need to know how to make a stitch, I go to YouTube and find the help that I need.
I have knitted since a child but for some reason cannot get to grips with crochet however hard I try.
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was little, and after I grew up I thought it might be fun to learn how to knit so I picked up a DVD and taught myself.
Liked! I learned how to crochet a few years ago but recently have learned more stitches so I would love to win this prize pack!
My mom taught me how to knit and a friend how to crochet.
I’m a knitter who also likes to crochet, and sew and quilt and needlepoint and smock….so little time so many things I want to try,
I have knit and crocheted since I was small. In the past couple of years I finally learned to read and follow patterns for both. I am excited to say my next venture will be learning to read charts! I am a total yarn addict “)
I crochet but would like to know how to knit
I crochet and knit.My mom taught me and my 2 younger sisters when we were younger. But a friend taught me to knit.
I started crocheting but have been knitting the last five years. I want to get back into crocheting so this would be a great project to begin.
My aunt taught me to crochet when I was a child. I taught myself to knit as a teenager.
Grandma Magee taught me how to knit and learned how to crochet later on as a teenager.
I was amazed how she could knit and not look at her hands. I think of her every time I knit without watching my hands.
I crochet, and I do know how to knit. I prefer to crochet though.
I love to both knit and crochet! I mostly knit little things like doll clothes and crochet larger items like shawls and afghans.
I am a crocheter but I am trying to learn how to knit as well….there is a definite learning curve though. I love the challenge though so I’ll keep at it until I can knit as well as I can crochet. I love all fiber arts. 😀
I knit but I can’t crochet. I have tried to learn but…….
I taught myself to knit years ago, and thought that seeing as it was so easy to learn, that teaching myself to crochet, would be even easier, seeing as you only need one needle. Boy was I ever wrong…lol. I still have my hooks and a “learn how to” book, and still want to learn, and will find the patience to do so one day.
I am a crocheter. I have earned to knit a few times, but I am clumsy and slow at it. lol I did manage to complete a basket weave baby blanket a few years ago, though. 🙂
I’ve learned how to knit and crochet in elementary school while growing up in Austria. It was mandatory, but I loved it nonetheless.
I’m better at knitting, but I also crochet. The market bag looks like fun.
Love the wool and bag
I was fortunate enough to be taught both knitting and crocheting by my grandmother.
I am a knitter and tried to learn how to crochet when I wan younger, just couldn’t get into it then. Maybe soon.
matching ponchos for me, my daughter and grand daughter!
I taught myself to knit first from Youtube. Recently I have learned crochet from Youtube as well.. I have made myself, my fiance and 3 kids hats. As well as two baby blankets one round the other granny square for my nieces 1st birthday the beginning of march. I love it. I have two other granny square blankets going right now too. Makes me feel proud to actually finish something
I have been bless to learn both!! I am still not an expert at either but I love them both!!
I am a knitter at the moment. I learned to chrochet from my grandmother. I learned to knit off of a kit I purchased. I like to switch back and forth between both knitting and chrocheting. Personally it is a toss up between which one I like more.
I crochet currently and plan on teaching myself to knit this year
My maternal grandmother taught me to crochet when I was very young. Then when I was a few years older, my paternal grandmother taught me to knit. I love to do both equally and was so fortunate they took time to teach me.
I learned to knit when I was 8 and crochet when I was 22. My mother taught me knitting and one of her friends taught me crochet. However, I stopped doing them for many years and started them again in 2005, thanks to a friend who was telling me about a scarf she had knitted, and I got into the mood again, and haven’t been able to stop since.
I have just learned to crochet, and am loving it. I would love to learn new patterns and try new things 🙂
I knit first, then learned to crochet, love them both.
Used to knit and crochet and made som beautiful pieces. Now I enjoy knitting much more
I am a knitter. I did try to learn to crochet but my granny squares always came out granny triangles and you could NOT undo them. Still own the crochet hooks I bought and all of my grandmother’s steel hooks. Alas! I’m just not CROTCHETTY!
I do both; my mom taught me to knit (right handed) and I am a self-taught left hand crocheter. I would love to attempt a project that uses both!
I’m a knitter and don’t crochet. I’d like to learn someday!
I learned to crochet when I was six and I learned to knit in my late 30’s. I like knowing how to do both now so I can pick the best technique for the job!
yes, I both crochet and knit. Self taught, crochet first, then knit 🙂
liked and commented
My great grandmother crocheted, both grandmothers crocheted, my mother crochets…but my sister knits. At the age off 41, I finally decided I wanted to learn to crochet, so I taught myself with a little help from my mom. After a few months later, I decided I wanted to learn how to knit too. Knitting has been much more difficult to learn, but I am determined!
I learned to crochet back in the 60’s by my grandmother. I self taught knitting only in the past years. I would love to knit an afaghans… Something I’ve never done.
I attempted crocheting a few times, but could never get past the initial chain. That part always looked nice and even, but once I started adding a second row, it looked sloppy. Knitting is easier for me because I have two needles to help keep the tension even.
Haven’t crocheted since my kids were babies! (They are all in their 30’s now) If I win the prize, I will start up again! I remember when my Grandma taught me to crochet when I was a little girl. Good memories 🙂 I knitted a couple of items when I was young but preferred to crochet.
I love to crochet. I taught myself at age 11. I am 57 now. After 4 children and nine grandchildren I have done plenty of crocheting. I never tire of it. It relaxes me. I would like to make something for myself. After all these years of crocheting for other people I have never made myself anything. If I won I would make me something pretty.
And Liked! I’ve been crocheting since I was a little girl. My Gramma taught me to keep me out of her hair so that she could work on her stuff.
I learner to crochet and knit in Girl Scout many moons ago.
I learned how to crochet when I wad young, I just learned how to knit the basics this year.
My mom taught me years ago to knit and crochet. My mom helped me make my first sweater. I was only making granny squares when my mom taught me. After a long absence from both, I have taken them both up again and have relearned how to do both. I forgot how soothing it is.
I learned to crochet first, but I have taught myself to do basic knitting.
I was taught to knit when I was 5 by a great neighbor and taught myself to crochet when I was 6.
I learned to crochet when I was 10yrs old,then taught myself to knit 20 yes later.
My mom taught me to knit when I was younger. I tried to take it back up a few years ago but couldn’t stick with it. I always wanted to try crochet and learned just last year on you tube. Love it!
I love to knit and crochet. I’m a little rusty with both but this will give me something to practice with.
I mostly crochet but am trying knitting
I knit but don’t crochet (yet) 🙂
I am a knitter but a couple of years ago I learned to crochet. Although everyone said crochet is easier, I find it much harder. However, I do love them both!
My mother taught me how to knit when I was on college. Years later she gave me all her Mon Tricot magazines and I really liked some of the patterns so I decided to teach myself hoe to crochet using books and YouTube.
I tried to learn how to knit, but unfortunately since I am way too familiar with crocheting, I can never understand the hand placement and ways of knitting. Plus I am happy with just crocheting alone. ^_^
My grandmother began to teach me to crochet and after she died my mother kept teaching me but I have never learned to knit.
I learned to crochet first then knit. I prefer crochet as it works up faster but some things are better knitted like mittens.
I knit and tried to crochet once – all i got was a really long line…………………………………
I both crochet and knit. To me they are parts of a whole, and should be used together.
I would knit a baby sweater set….I’m on my third set this week!
answered the wrong question! I knit better than I crotchet but have made afghans.
I crochet but can’t seem to get the hang of knitting though i have tried many times in the past
My grandmother taught me to do simple crochet as a small child (I’m almost 60), and then I learned to do the knit and purl stitch for a Girl Scout badge. I continued my crocheting but have just in the last couple years gotten into knitting and I really enjoy it.
Yes! I knit an crochet regularly!
I learned how to knit and crochet in school, but I prefer crochet. I would love to practice knitting again so I can get better.
my mother taught me too knit and I learned to crochet via verypink.com
Taught myself to knit and crochet. Love it!
I am a lifelong knitter but have tried basic crochet “chains”.I’d love to win,I want to knit some placemats 🙂
My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was young. A girlfriend taught me to knit in my early 20’s. I taught myself to do more complicated stitches in both formats and now do which ever i feel like that day.
I crochet and have been trying to learn to knit on my own but I think I’m going to have to take a classlol
I am a knitter but I can do the basic crochet stitches.
I taught myself how to do both one summer.
I learned to knit at 8, crochet at 9. Though I kept crocheting through the years, I didn’t take up knitting again until I was 30.
I learned to crochet from my mother and grandmother at about the age of 5 and took up knitting in 10th grade for a Home Economics project (Slippers) and I love both, and my favorite is always the one that I am working at in that moment!!

I have been crocheting as a child and learned to knit about two yrs ago using videos
I am a crocheter and no I have never learned to knit.
I learned how to crochet at a very early age and then when I turned 10 years of age my mother taught me how to knit and purl. I still at the beginner stage of knitting and I love to knit plus crochet. You get some amazing results from each technique.
My sister-in-law taught me the basics of crochet 43 years ago. I taught myself to read crochet patterns because she couldn’t. Then 32 years ago I saw a knitted feather and fan afghan and thought it was so pretty I wanted to make it, so I taught myself to knit with a how to book. Now I joyfully do both
I knit. I have made 10 afghans and this year I hope to learn to knit socks. I would like to learn to crochet.
Colors are wonderful, hopefully I’ll be the one to win.
I mainly knit.. It just feels natural to me.. I do know some basics about crocheting.. I taught myself how to knit with the help of YouTube and my imagination.. I enjoy knitting Afghans- there are such Beautiful patters that can be made.. Love it..
Learned to do both when I was about 6 years old.
I tried crocheting, but didn’t have someone to help me. I keep thinking I could try again now that there are so many online videos available, but my knitting gets in the way. Maybe I’ll try it on vacation.
I crochet mostly but here recently I’ve learned how to knit. I’m working on a baby afghan and it’s coming along a little slow but I don’t want to mess up. I can crochet a baby afghan in a day or two depending what design I use. I’ve been working on the one I’m knitting for a week or so and I’m not done yet. I also haven’t been able to work on it as much due to being busy with other things.
Thanks for the opportunity! Love lions brand yarn!
I know how to crochet, my favorite is making amigurumi figures. I am learning to knit, but it’s slow-going.
I knit and crochet. When I need something quickly I crochet. I normally have a crochet and knit project going at the same time 🙂
I knit and crochet but enjoy knitting a little more. I learned both in girl scouts .
I learned to knit when I was in my 20s from a very accomplished woman, I have managed to teach myself some simple stitches, single and double crochet so I could try to make an item, and I managed to do some granny squares to make a jumper for a niece. I still find it a bit of a challenge, but hope to get there. I did try to do a ripple afgan several years ago but did not get to far and it was a mess. I am not giving up though. I think it is great to be able to do both. They both have their desirable merits.
Yes. I started out as a crocheter, but when my wrist began to hurt, I taught myself to knit.
I learned both at the same time, crocheted for many years but now I mostly knit
My mom taught me to knit and crochet! Yay! 🙂
I am a knitter and have not yet learned to crochet but it is on my to do list for the near future!
I have known how to crochet and knit forever. I learned crochet first, making baby booties, at abt age 7-8yrs old. My mom taught me crochet and then a couple of years later, I taught her to knit. I don’t remember how I happened to learn knitting. I love both
My grandmother taught me to do both. I prefer to crochet since it seems much faster.
It took years to find a way around the nerve damage in my hand so I could learn to knit, crochet is the next challenge
I am a crocheter, I learned to knit, but not very well several years ago. I am in.the process of relearning to see if I can become better this time.
I mainly crochet, but my daughter learned how to knit first, and then how to crochet. We both mainly crochet.
My mom taught me to knit when I was 5 or 6 years old, i learned to crochet at age 10 and have been doing both ever since.
My mom taught me to crochet when I was 8-years-old. I got frustrated and threw the whole thing across the room. She said if I ever threw it again then she wouldn’t teach me anymore. I crocheted many years learning more complex patterns as time went on. In 2007-I was 27-our church was making hats for homeless people. One of the ladies offered to show me a simple hat knitting pattern and gave me her size 8 needles to keep. She said she had never seen anyone pick it up so quickly. I don’t say that to brag…I just think my many years of crocheting and working with yarn made it easier for me. I am still learning new knitting stitches. I go back and forth between crochet and knit depending on the project. I find it is pretty easy to learn new things on the internet now as well.
I was a crocheter before I was a knitter. I was taught how to crochet around eight years old from one of my Church School teachers. I just loved learning to make squares and then graduated to blankets and baby girl dresses. My sister and I taught each other how to knit by buying a Learn to Knit book. I thought it would be hard to learn to knit but it was really easy. Today I do both; crochet and knit.
I enjoy both knitting and crocheting. I learned both from my mom and gramdma
I do both and proudly….
I’m a knitter, very beginning stages. I’m so excited to learn how to crochet.
I am a knitter, but I just recently learned how to crochet a little heart!
My mom taught me how to knit when I was about 10. Didn’t get to far with that – just squares that we sewed together at the ends to make slippers or just long rectangles to make scarves. She taught me how to crochet when I was a teenager. I’ve just picked it up again after a 3 year period. Learning to read patterns. So I think crochet is more for me.
I’m a knitter,never really learned to crochet,even though I would love too.
Am a knitter…followed directions for crocheting and had a few people show me but I prefer knitting as generally can knit without having to watch what I am doing as I would have to with crocheting….and more counting involved. Like the look of knit items better.
I taught myself to crochet from a booklet I bought in a craft store when my kids were small. I made baby things and household items mostly. Then taught myself to knit too. I do both now depending on the project. Love the tote! The colors are fantastic.
I learned how to knit in Campfire Girls when I was 10 years old. I need to try this again soon.
