I prefer crochet over knitting, mostly because of how simple it is to fix a mistake or pick up a dropped stitch. I love the look of knitting but every time I try to knit it just seems difficult.
Knitting, I think it’s easier !
I like to crochet and knit. I am faster at crocheting-l taught myself how to first. I am working on knitting now to get better at it
I prefer Crochet because I never learned to knit however I am in the process of learning so I still like crochet better hope to change that after I learn to knit I would love to do both!
I love to crochet right now I am making an Elmo blanket for a friends son. It is coming out so cute. I wish I had a camera to post it so you all could see it. turning out so cute!!!
I love crocheting maybe because I learned it first and am very comfortable with it. I do enjoy knitting for small prjects but my big projects are always crochet. and I agree with how easy it is to correct a mistake.
I like both just learned to knit, and like the new challenge
I have sort have taught myself to crochet but still not very good @ it. I really want to knit but time always seems to get away from me so I suppose my choice is crochet is the choice for now when my hands cooperate although I would have to say I would probably enjoy both equally as much as they both look so much fun & I love to crate new things with my hands
I prefer to crochet. I tried but never took to knitting, which seems slower. I love the look of knitted items though.
Crochet. Although I knit and crochet, crochet is much faster for me.
I like knitting in the fall and winter and crocheting in the spring and summer. It’s all based of how easy it is to very projects with me…
Crochet!
I love to crochet…..I have been doing it since I was 10. Could never get both hands towork together for kniting!
You might enjoy Knooking. That’s knitting with a crochet hook. YouTube has various teachers and there is an online knooking group.
I wish my crochet skills were up to snuff. It’s easier for me to knit – although speed is never why I do either.
I like to do both, I don’t think I can choose one over the other. 🙂
I love to knit but would like to learn how to crochet
Crochet is the best!!!
I prefer crochet over knitting but it’s because I do not know how to knit. Lol
I am currently into crochet but have knitted in the past and wouldn’t mind a refresher! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great prize!
I know how to crochet and do it often, but I would like the knitting one so I could learn how. I’ve seen many very cute and pretty pattern that are only for knitting and would really appreciate knowing how.
I can do both, but prefer crochet. Don’t really know why. Maybe it’s because there are so many stitches that can be done very easily vs. the knitting stitches. (And I really hate to purl.) 🙂 But the teach yourself kits in this giveaway would be great to pass along to some ladies I know who would like to learn!!
I prefer crochet. I am a lefty and not very coordinated, but crochet came to me fairly easily. I taught myself using books and youtube videos, and now it’s one of my favorite passtimes.
I will always be a crochet girl!!!
I LOVE crocheting!
I love to Crochet it is my salvation and my sanity!

I leaned how to crochet last year and really like it. No love it. Maybe this year I’ll learn how to knit.
Knitting…..
I knit and crochet, but I prefer knitting. I have a baby on the way and expecting a girl, I can definitely make baby projects.
I like crocheting more. But both needlecrafts should offer more left handed pattens. I have found that some of the more difficult patterns are even harder for left handers.
Crochet, but knitting is fun, just outta practice.
Faço os dois mas prefiro croche,a beleza que se faz nos trabalhos em croche me encanta mais.
I crochet and knit, it depends on the project. Lately knitting has been my
hobby of choice.
I would say crochet but I knit too it depends on the project.
AT the moment crochet is at the top BUT I did start knitting last week.

I like both, but crochet is my favorite!
I prefer Crochet, I’m just now learning to knit.
I prefer crochet… i find it works up quicker and i love the stitch options!
I do both. It depends on what I am making on which I prefer. I prefer crochet for blankets and knitting for garments.
I LOVE to crochet! Items work up quickly and there are always new and fun stitches to learn!
I prefer crochet, only because I don’t really know how to knit but I really want to learn. So in the future I shall be able to know how to do both. I know I will really enjoy knitting as much as I like crochet.
Crochet! crochet! crochet!
I like crochet. So much easier.
I’ve been crocheting since I was 9yrs old. Thanks to my Granny. But I would LOVE to learn how to knit. I even do loom knitting just to get that knitting look.
I love to Crochet and prefer to do that but my Mother suggests I learn to knit too. I know I need to learn! Soon!
Crochet is what I learned first and is always what I go back to after learning any new technique.
I am a knitter but I love the way crochet looks so I hope to learn how to crochet,

Crochet.. I’m just a beginner do would love all the help an tips I can get
I prefer to crochet. I would love to learn to knit someday though. I am currently working to start a nonprofit program that will make matching blankets for soldiers and their children. That way they can “share a blanket” when they feel lonely an missing their family member.
I am very satisfied with crochet so I never have learned to knit. I think crochet offers more of variety of items especially items for children’s toys etc.
Crochet.. I’m still a newbe as I’ve only started in December. But absolutely love it!! Already completed an afghan, sweater, scarves gallore & on my second summer poncho!!

Crochet but only because I haven’t had the chance to learn how to knit. 🙂
I love to do both but prefer crocheting for my charity donations for preemies and like knitting for sweaters.
I love crochet. My grandmother taught me over 40 years ago and now I am blessed to be able to teach others!
I much prefer crochet over knitting, but I do both… Knitting uses less yarn than crochet, but it’s the simplicity of crochet that I like… As someone else said, it’s much easier to pick up a dropped stitch or go back and fix a mistake.
I love crochet 🙂
I liked the page. would love to win. I lost my mom over a year ago to cancer. I want to learn all I can to follow her foot steps. I never took the time to learn from her but now I want to teach myself to make her proud in heaven. thank you for this. =)

Crochet. It just seems to be easier on my hands.
I prefer crochet
I do both but I prefer to crochet.
I love crocheting. It’s my favorite hobby!
Since I’d give this prize to two other people if I won, I’ll answer for them: one is an experienced crocheter, I’d give her the yarn; and the other wants to learn to crochet, so I’d give her the crochet book and hooks. (Of course they’d prefer crocheting) the knitting book and needles I would find a good home for.
I prefer knitting, just because I am better at it!

It depends on the project!
I prefer crochet for afghans and anything that I can make with cotton yarn, but knitting for scarves and hats and the like because of the stretch and drape.
I have been crocheting since I was eight, but would love to learn to knit.
I love knitting. It is neat seeing a project come to life. And see someone appreciate all your hard work.

I love crocheting and making things for others. I have yet to make myself anything. I am always up for a challenge when it comes to trying new things.
Crochet I haven’t tried knit yet.
I like crochet. I think i can make many things more than knitting.
I prefer crochet but I am trying to teach myself how to knit… It is not easy to learn on your own if you are a visual learner, The videos help but what helps more is someone telling you what you are doing wrong. I am also a self taught crocheter, but I leaned that a long time ago when my mind was a lot younger and fresher. But I will not give up, I keep trying and making mistakes and trying again.
I love to crochet. I`ve been crocheting sents i was22 i`m 63 now
I prefer crochet, since I have yet to learn how to knit, but I’ve been inspired to try it by Debbie Macomber’s books. 🙂

I love crocheting.
I like to crochet, but I’d love to learn to knit someday!
Crochet! I like the variety of stitches. I like being able to do more with one hook than others can do with two sticks.
I get an enormous feeling of well being while working on and upon completion of my handmade projects. Crocheting is an ongoing favorite, as many of my projects are, ongoing. Thank you for your words of encouragement and challenges.
I love to crochet, especially baby blankets. I can also knit but just scarves.
I like crochet better, because I am better at it and knitting often puts me to sleep.
I started learning crochet first so I am better at crochet and find it easier, but I am trying to learn to knit as well. Don’t know which I’ll prefer once I am proficient at both.
knitting or Crochet ?? hmmmm…. I have projects started for both and as long as I keep my hands moving on one then I am satisfied with either .. or…. lol
I prefer to crochet, but I did learn to knit when I was 5 years old. Then learned to crochet when I was 9 years old.
I do both, but find that crochet is easier to teach than knitting
I prefer crocheting just because I can do a lot more things with it and lot faster then with knitting
Though I do both, knitting relaxes me more.
I like crochet more. Because its easy to follow the pattern and if you maake mistakes its easy to correct it. And i tried knit once and its take time to me to finished one row.
Crocheting hands down!!
I love crochet because it’s so versatile!
Crochet for sure:)
I love both. Knitting relaxes me more then crocheting and I love the softness of something knitted. I do both all the time.
I prefer to crochet because stitching is easier I can work up certain projects a lot faster and if I need to correct a stich or line it’s easier to go back and pull it out and fix it
Crochet but would love to learn to knit
I prefer to crochet, I haven’t learned to knit but would love to learn!
Love to crochet! Would love to learn how to knit!!
I am crazy about crochet and love to make all kinds of things with all sizes and weights of yarn….I ALWAYS seem to have multiple projects going at once……I am currently working on a tote bag using cotton yarn and just finished a car lovey blanket for my grandson and a cupcake lovey for my granddaughter. My only problem is not enough time !!! 🙂
Personally I don’t think I have a preference….I thoroughly enjoy both hobbies because they both yield the same results….beautiful handmade items filled with love and kindness 🙂
Crochet
I prefer crochet, I was never able to learn to knit.
I prefer knitting but I do both. It’s such a relaxing hobby and I am beginning to pass it down to my 5 year old daughter. She is working on her first scarf.
I love Crocheting it’s so much easier and faster for me and also it’s so,relaxing for me.. Every time when I finish the project it makes me feel good.. Knitting don’t work for me with two needles just too difficulty for my hands..
Crocheting! My mom taught me both when I was pretty young and I could never keep the knit 1 purl 1 straight when trying to do knit ribbing.. I sometimes wonder if I would find it easier now that I’m a bit more mature shall we say 😉
I knit and crochet. I prefer crochet though.
I really enjoy both knitting and crochet. Crocheted hats and decorations are always quick, and I love the look of knit sweaters and tops
Knitting because it is what I learned first. Still working on crochet.
Sorry I love both and have both crochet and knit projects going at all times
I like crochet best! It has the versatility and texture that I love!
Crochet all the way!!
I prefer crocheting, my introduction to yarn crafts was knitting and I just never went back to it.
I like crocheting only because I’ve not really learned to knit. Would love to “teach myself”, especially if I win this!
I crochet, although i would love to learn to knit. Thank you for the opportunity to win and good luck to everyone!!!!
Crochet!! Love it!!
My grandmother taught me to crochet. I’ve tried to teach myself to knit but I can’t seem to get my hands coridinated enough. lol
I prefer crochet. I have done both but i find crochet to be easier. I’m pretty new to it and can’t wait to learn more.
I love to crochet. To create and relax the mind is a wonderful thing. I must say I am very curious about knitting and want to learn. Thanks.
I was born with Cerebral Palsy and ran an on line group for others with this condition fot 15 years. I started crocheting when I was pregnant with my first baby and wanted to make a simple blanket for my baby. Out of two hundred people I have met on line who have CP, I am the only one who can crochet. Knitting has proved to be too much of a challenge for my disability. I spend part of my spare time crocheting and donating or giving away most of what I make. I love the e-mails I receive each day with new ideas.
I am just learning how to crochet.. I have knitted a little. I would love to win either one of these and Thank you so much for the chance..Happy St. Patty’s Day…
I love crochet! But so need to learn to knit!
Taught myself to crochet many years ago. Would love to have instruction to further my grasp of different stitch combinations and patterns! Thanks.
Knitting is my favorite, but I also crochet too, mostly learned on my own, or from friends.
I prefer crochet.
I love knitting but I am learning to love crochet too.
I am a seasoned crocheter and only last week began to learn how to knit. I love the look of knit projects and have been dying to learn. I can’t really say which I like best yet, ask me again when my dishcloth is complete (although, I keep telling my teacher that I bet I can make this dishcloth turn into a pretty scarf!) For the purpose of answering this question, i’ll say crochet, but….stay tuned!
I usually pick crochet over knitting.
I love to crochet but I would absolutely love to learn how to knit!
My mom taught herself to crochet left handed years ago to teach me. She also taught me to knit, but all I ever seemed able to complete was a square. I crochet for charity,and I do that because I love how fast a little hat or blanket can be made–all in honor now of mom who has cancer.
I love to crochet and knit both. I am just getting back into it have many many years away. both take me into my own world and relax my body. Love doing it while lying in bed.
i really enjoy crocheting due to the fact that when my grandmother was alive that is what she taught me and i was only around 6years old and had to learn through her non english so it was on sight since i dont speak German and that is all my grandmother ‘s language was german she refused to speak english since she was born in germany and lived there until she came to the united states so with this endless learning talent i continue to do this hobbie in memory of my grandmother and now i kept her tradition alive through my family i crochet som thing wether it would be small or large for all my intermediant family like my children and their wives and the grandchildren so now they expect something home made for christmas which also reminds them that memories can be made and not has to be a toy to keep the spark alive out of their eyes and i r can actually see my grandmother in all i do so that is why i really enjoyed crocheting in loving memory of my Grandmother Vera Brandstetter love you grandma i am keeping your tradition alive and i hope its in good standing to your approval ….
i rorgot to mention what i would make and that is i would start making baby blankets for my grandchilldren for when they have their children in case i am not around when they have children along with the blanket i would make their christening outfit a universal one that is
I already know how to crochet, but I am trying to learn how to knit. So I obviously prefer to crochet, but this prize would greatly help my new hobby.
Crochet, because my Mom loved to crochet.
I actually love both! Crochet works up a little faster, and certain projects look better to me knitted. But I really can’t choose one over the other!
I love to crochet, my grandmother taught me when I was little. So I try to keep up her wish that all of the girls in the family get a chance to learn.
I really like both. Sometimes I like crochet better, because you can create something within an hour. Sometimes I knitting better, because it is really relaxing to just knit, going back and forth.
I knit but prefer to crochet, it’s faster to build and thoroughly relaxing, easy to fix mistakes.
I crochet. Two people have tried to teach me to knit but I just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
I do both but prefer crochet. I learned crochet first and I am faster at it than knitting.
I prefer crocheting to knitting! I love to watch the crocheting project grow quickly whereas I am a very slow knitter and I get frustrated. I have been crocheting for 50 years and I enter as many contests as possible..still havent won anything but I win every day that I find a new pattern!!
I can’t say I actually prefer one over the other. I enjoy doing both crafts very much. I like to crochet blankets and bags/purses. I like to knit things like sweaters/scarves/shawls.
I know the basics of crocheting and would love to learn more, I also would love to teach myself how to knit, I like some of the patterns. I have gotten ideas from you in the past and the instructions are easy to follow. That is what I like about your site. Keep up the great work.
I prefer crochet – but I need to learn to knit!
After having a stroke 3 years ago, and losing my sight on my right side, I had to re-learn a lot of things, Reading was one of them. The first year I crocheted from memory, the second year I was able to focus on small groups of letters so crochet abbreviations were perfect! Now I can read along with my second grade son. I don’t drive anymore but I can crochet with the best of them!!
I love to crochet! If I get the blues, crocheting will always put a smile on my face. I love yarn. The yarn isle at a craft store is like the candy isle to someone else. I just love all the different colors and textures. I don’t dont how to knit but would love to learn. This would give me that opportunity. Thank you for all the great giveaways !
I am teaching myself, well thanks to a lot of youtube videos I am teaching myself to crochet. Love your facebook page, and would love to win . Thanks and have an amazing day.
I am a crochetter but would love to learn to knit.
I’m still learning to knit, been crocheting for years though. I like crochet for how fast it works up, but love the look of knitted projects. Honestly think I might like knitting better once I get the hang of it 🙂
Crochet all the way!
I love crochet due to the ease of learning new stitches and so many too choose from..,
I prefer to knit, but I am learning to crochet now!
I prefer crocheting, but I’d LOVE to learn how to knit!
I prefer crochet, I never caught on to knitting . But that’s where Tunisian crochet comes in handy!
I prefer crocheting! Actually, love-obsessed-so happy there’s such a thing- probably more accurately describe my preference 🙂
It’s the best thing I’ve ever learned to do and it has enriched and rewarded my life in ways I never could have imagined. Thank you crochet ancestors <3
I crochet. Learning to knit and its pretty sweet!
It depends on my mood, I like them both equally
I like the “look” of knit better than crochet, but I like to crochet better, I think it is eaiser and faster.
I prefer crocheting. I can knit as well, but crocheting seems to be faster and it is easier to fix mistakes.
I’ve been knitting for nearly 10 years and now I’m definitely HOOKED on crochet….It’s much easier on my body posture and my arms & back are thanking me. Happy crocheting everyone!
I love to crochet all kinds of things especially for babies. It’s funny because my mom was a great knitter but I never took it up. I feel that crochet allows you more freedom in what you’re doing and you can basically make something like a scarf or afghan freehand.
Crochet!
I’ve been crocheting for18mths now. And hav started makin little cardigans for our newest baba due in august xx
i knit but have recently started crochet .
I have done both. I prefer crochet because it is easier for me, but I like the look of some knit things better.
Crochet! I’d like to learn knitting.
I like knitting!
I’ve never learned how to knit. Crochet is my hobby of choice.
I knit better. I understand the written patterns. I crochet somehow, but don’t really know how “correct” it is. I’m sure I’ll improve with practice
I am a crocheter. I have wanted to learn Knitting but have had a difficult time doing so. My Grandmother taught me to crochet and I have fond memories of watching her crochet in her favorite rocking chair. I now have that rocking chair and I love it, too. Great memories!
I prefer crochet over knitting because I’m impatient! I like to see results very quickly which knitting doesn’t do. I love the look of knitting but I’m still more fond of crochet.
Knit for contemplating. .. crochet for speed!
I prefer crochet, but only because I struggle with knitting. The knit book would be great for me and the crochet for my kids who seem to struggle learning from me, but want to crochet too!!! 🙂
Crocheting!!! I love having to be able to relax and unwind with my hook.
I love crocheting just started and amazed what all you can do!!!!!
I love to do both. I taught myself to do both. And now I am teaching my little sister how to crochet and the books, hooks, and needles would be great for her to learn both.
I love to crochet but I am learning to knit as well and am liking it so far.
I prefer crocheting because it’s faster and I’m still learning a lot of things. But I’m always looking forward to knit more things.
I am a knitter by choice and a crocheter by necessity.
I love to crochet. I’ve tried to knit before but just couldn’t get the hang of it so I leave the knitting to my mom 🙂
I like both, I like to thread crochet & knit with anything. I also like to teach and these books would be great for my next 2 students! I have one of each starting later this month. That sounds wrong, I’ll be teaching someone about my age to knit and a young girl to crochet later this month.
I prefer crochet, I was taught to knit ages ago, but never had the patience to wait hours to complete a few inches worth of material, I taught myself to crochet in order to dress some of my dolls
I do both. I just love working with yarn!
I prefer crochet, but I do both.
I do both but have crocheted longer than have knit so lately knitting more to get better at it. I LOVE both!
I’m a crocheter who wants to learn to knit!
I happen to do both. I think that some projects are better for crochet and others knitting. That being said, I find that I can crochet much faster than I can knit so I like to have one of each projects going so I can switch back and forth. If I won this package I’d give it to my 18 year old friend because she would like to learn.
I have always wanted to learn to knit. My mom taught me to crochet when I was a little girl
Knitting. I’m just better at it. And since it’s easier for me, it’s what I tend to stick to.
I love crocheting. Taught myself, with the help of YouTube. I really want to learn how to knit now 🙂
I love crochet and kniting for special ocaccions as gifts
I love knitting which I learned as a child. It is so relaxing. I am working on learning to crochet.
I’m just a beginner – so, crochet is my yarn craft of making scarves, hats & afghans for now!
I’m definitely a crochet lady and already a fan of your FB page. 🙂
I love knitting but do a bit of crochet as well
crochet
I prefer knitting for its more refined looks.
Crochet. Although my goal is to learn knitting this year.
My uncle taught me to crochet when I was a little girl and I have passed on this easy to do craft to many others. Its great when the person you are teaching “gets it”!
Started knitting about 1 1/2 yrs ago…enjoy it. In two knitting groups..so rewarding & plus new friends. Haven’t really started to crochet..someday hope so. Right now working on a baby blanket for my great granddaughter. Excited.
Crocheting. I have not yet learned to knit, but plan to do so soon.
Definitely crochet. My knitting skills are really lacking.
I like either equally.
I’m learning to knit so I would LOVE to win the knitting tools, etc to help with supies!
I only crochet now but want to learn to knit. I am going to start with arm knitting
Its definitely crochet for me. The only knitting I know is ruufle yarn or loom knitting. So far anyways 😉
Tough call. Crochet works up faster so I guess thats my preference. though I do both
I love crocheting, it is so very relaxing a it’s my time to think & reflect on the days events.
I do knit also…GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Crocheting, because it is easier to fix mistakes. I am getting better and knitting though.
It depends on the project and my mood. Sometimes I want to crochet. Sometimes I want to knit. I usually have at least one project of each going at the same time so I can choose.
I learned to knit as a little girl from my grandma. I had to sit facing her, as I’m left handed. I never really got the hang of how to correctly hold knitting needles, so it was too frustrating for me to pick it back up as an adult (you know, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!). I did pick up crocheting again, and with the help of the internet many, many patterns are now available in a left handed version. I have only been crocheting again for a couple of years, but I’ve managed to make my toddler a few blankets, I made my family and a few close friends scarves for Christmas last year and now I am working on an infinity scarf for my oldest daughter’s birthday. I have been a bit shy about doing a pattern that’s not flat (dish cloth, blanket, scarf) but I am also making a Bob Marley slouch hat for my son’s birthday. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest!
I prefer crochet since it is what I learned first. But I’ll trying very hard to learn the fine art of knitting!
I like to knit & crochet, but if I had to choose it would be crochet because a project goes so much faster.
love both ! all depends how I feel
I prefer crocheting – I can almost do it with my eyes closed. I do knit but have to pay more attention
I prefer to crochet, learned to crochet and knit by grandma, an will always prefer crochet.
I like both! I have made an afghan in knitting years ago and now am trying to make one in crochet.
I love and prefer to crochet. Still learning some knitting. I do use a loom that is easy knitting. I would love to win, running low on yarn. Thank you for the chance to win this.
I prefer knitting, but I crochet faster.
Crochet
I started learning crochet from May 2012 . Also, I won a People’s Choice Award 2013 at CGOA competition. Definitely, I love crochet however, I’ll learn knitting one day!
I love to crochet!!! Been doing it since I was a kid (35+ years). Have taught myself to knit in the last couple of years, but crochet is still my fav!!!!
I prefer knitting more than crocheting, although I enjoy both. In my mind, they each have advantages and disadvantages. Either way, they are wonderful ways to relax and create lovely things.
I really like crochet, and would love to learn how to knit.
Live my crafts.
I love both, knitting is slower than crochet, but I love knitting sweaters with lots of cables, on the other hand crocheted afghans are quick and pretty, And am very proud of the afghan the mother in law crocheted for me, I have crocheted and given away hundreds of afghans but that is the first time anyone ever made one for me.
I love to crochet. Never really tried knitting… I would like to
I love to crochet.
I love to crochet I can knot but much prefer to crochet.
I love to crochet..my grandma did it for years.
Crochet. It relaxes me and I feel I have more control on what I create. 🙂
*knit
I love to crochet. My grandma could do it in her sleep.
Crochet is my fav.
Being self taught I prefer to crochet. I have tried to learn how to knit with kits like this but it’s not clicking with me.
I love both. It all depends on what I wish to make.
If I am with friends and need to chat I crochet. If I am by myself I knit. I need to concentrate more when knitting.
I prefer knitting
Today I prefer crochet for ease of frogging and reworking the project i am working. Crochet is a good portable skill, and sometimes i find it a more forgiving skill.
I love crocheting, but really want to learn to knit. Both my mom and grandma did both beautifully and would love to carry on the legacy.
I love to knit but I also crochet. I chose a pattern and then see if it would look nicer in knit or in crochet. Baby blankets are always knit, toddler spring cardigan can be crochet but winter cardigans are knit. Lol this is why I do both and either prize would be great to start my 3 yr old granddaughter on. 🙂
Crochet all the way.
I prefer knitting but I did purchase a set of crochet hooks so I can learn how to crochet.
I prefer to crochet because I am better at it. I am a newbie knitter and it is frustrating how difficult it is to fix my mistakes in it compared to crocheting.
I prefer crochet because it is quicker, but if I see a particular knit pattern that I like, I would knit.
Is there anything even close to the joy working with yarn provides? NOT in my world. Thaks Allfreecrochet!!!
I prefer crochet.
ive just picked up my crocheting after a fifteen year break..i do not know how to knit,but would love to learn
I prefer to crochet but want to learn to knit so so so badly, teaching myself ASAP!
I prefer crocheting, but only because I am relatively new to knitting. I am sure that might change as I become more comfortable with the stitches.
I love to crochet but also knit. Crochet is easier to fix when a mistake is made and its the first thing i was taught by my husbands grandmother.
Definitely crochet. I learned from my great granny when I was about 8 or 9 years-old. Never have been able to master knitting.
I like them both equally. I only crochet since the stroke. Can’t work kneedles anymore. I’ve adapted to knitting looms and a knitting machine.
I prefer crochet, however, I would love to learn to knit (without a loom).
Knitting. I don’t know how to crochet.
Crochet,its faster because i have four kids and not much time and im beginer. xxxxx
I only know how to crochet, and I do it with out a pattern as I have never read one, Thank you.
Crochet…have never tried to knit.
I only crochet but love it. I’m crochet for 6 babies this year. Already have done for 2 from our church. have 2 to go from church so far and 2 of my own great grands. Plus want to make a shawl and Bolero fro me and King size blanket for my master bedroom and queen sz for my guest bedroom. What fun!
Never could do knitting, but I love to crochet…………….
I prefer knitting because I’m better at it, and I can do it without looking (simple stuff, anyway). But I’d like to do more crochet, especially finer gauge stuff.
I can do both, but prefer Crocheting…thank you for the oportunity for some wonder items.
Crochet – I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, so that eliminates 2 needles! :::))))
I love doing crocheting I easying than kniting cuz you using one hook not using two needle….I do all my projects with crocheting
I would prefer crochet than knitting. First is because I learnt knitting but i just couldnt success. Crochet is much more easier and what i need for crochet is just a hook. Unlike knitting, sometimes i need double point, and sometimes i need a few needles to complete a project. So I will prefer ctochet.
So far I would definitely have to say I prefer crocheting. But, to be fair, I haven’t learned to knit yet! I can’t wait to teach myself though and have bought knitting needles so when I have the time to devote to learning a new hobby, I will immediately get started in learning such a classic craft 🙂 Thank you so much for this giveaway! Good luck everyone!
I love, love, love crochet, but I do want to learn to knit too. Would so love to win this!
crochet !!!!
I like to crochet!!!!
I prefer crochet!!
I love to crochet and have tried to knit but haven’t quite got it figured out yet. I’d love to learn!
Love Crochet Dude! These instructional books would come in real handy when I teach my grand daughers to knit and crochet!
I am a newbie…just learning to crochet. I have crocheted a few baby blankets so far.
Crochet for me 🙂
I do both knit and crochet but prefer crochet – I keep losing stitch count when I knit!
I am a beginner crocheter just completed my first scarf now working on slippers. Knitting is in my future
I prefer crochet. I have tried to knit several times and it just hurts my fingers too bad. Which is strange since I’m 22…. OH well! yay yarn!
I prefer crochet. I love making gifts for friends and families especially new babies to the family. Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
I love yo crochet with my daughter she id 7 yrs. Old and following in my foot steps. I hope I win as then I could have some nice yarn. Thank you for the consideration.
I prefer crocheting over knitting because it’s easier to correct a crochet mistake than a knitting mistake. I love crocheting because it is relaxing and I love to create something beautiful for others.
I love to crochet, but I have always wanted to learn to knit. With a free learn to kit I may just like it.
Hi there! I prefer crochet. I love making gifts for family and friends and especially new babies to the family. Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
This will he me teach my grandchildren!
I like the look of knit better, but I’ve never been successful at teaching myself to knit, so I prefer crochet. I do love the look of some crochet items better, also!
Crochet!
I LOVE crochet. I eat, sleep and dream crochet!!!! Knitting is fun but i find I can be more creative with crochet whether im make hats, slippers or something in between!
I do both but prefer crochet, probably because I have been doing it longer and so am more comfortable with it.
Crochet
I like them both-it depends on the project I’m doing which I select.
I find myself going from crocheting to knitting and can’t decide what to do next.
I guess at this moment I would say knitting. I fluctuate between the two depending on what I feel like making.
Crochet as I only have full use of one arm.
I would love to win this! I crochet all the time. I learned to knit as a teenager but haven’t done it since so would love a refresher.
I prefer crochet. I knit and love the look of knit items and it’s definitely better for yarns like sock yarns but crochet is much more enjoyable for me.
I prefer crochet because I like to see results quickly and I find that crochet shows results faster. I see so many projects that I like, I want to finish the one I am working on so I can start the next.
I love to knit and crochet! Usually I’ll have a project of each going at the same time. I think crochet works up faster so while I may be on a time consuming knit like a sweater, I will crochet a small item so I feel like I’ve accomplished something!
I prefer knitting, but I would like to do more crocheting.
I am an experienced knitter and an intermediate crocheter so it depends on how technical I want get.
Knitting is the best therapy I know! Keeps your mind from sneaking away!
Crocheting
I love crochet!!
To be honest, I am not sure. I don’t do either one very well at all. That is why this would be good for me…I would love to learn both! I am a cross stitcher, crafter and quilter mostly but have had an interest in learning how to knit and crochet for a while. Thank you for the opportunity to learn!!
I used to knit but I found it tedious. Now I crochet and I find it so much faster and easier!
Crochet, but only because I’ve done it longer. I’m just starting to teach myself to knit, so I’m still very slow.
Love to crochet, wanna learn to knit.
I knit, and I am currently trying to teach myself crochet. I can use all the help I can get
While I generally tend to prefer to wear things that have been knitted, I prefer to use crochet overall, just as a factor or speed. I am an abominably slow knitter… To give you an example, I started a simple striped baby blanket for a friend when she was due in about two months. I thought I should have had plenty of time. Well, four months later of working on it just about every day, and I was less than half done. So, I changed the idea, bought a few extra skeins of the yarn I already had (gotta love no dye lot yarns!) and in a month, I had a much bigger blanket crocheted that her little one can use well into her toddler and preschool years. lol
So, crochet for me! : )
I enjoy both knitting & crocheting, but prefer crocheting, as it seems to be quicker for me.
I prefer to crochet. Like many others I am teaching myself to knit but I have so many wip in crochet I don’t have much time to practice on my knitting skills.
I tried knitting when I was in high school and couldn’t get the hang of it. Then as an adult, my former boss taught me some basic stitches and a blanket pattern. Since then I have taught myself how to read patterns and learned as many stitches as I can! I LOVE TO CROCHET!!!
Crochet, far and away the best!
I love both 🙂 my great grandmother taught me to crochet at the age of 7, then when I was 11, my aunt taught me to knit. Now at 53,, I still do both :):):):);)
Crocheting for now but have been wanting to learn how to knit!
I prefer crochet, since my mind just can’t seem to wrap around manipulating 2 knitting needles at once. 🙂
I enjoy crocheting because it’s the only one I currently know how to do lol. I would love to learn to knit though. It’s on my list of things to learn in 2014 🙂
I’ve knit longer than crochet, but I think I like crochet better. I can make more delicate items with crochet as compared to knitting.
I love to crochet! It’s so quick and easy. But I’ve been known to play around with knitting needles as well.
I prefer to crochet because I’ve been doing it since I was 6 years old and I’m now 51. I would love to take the little I know of knitting and expand on it, however.
I LOVE to Crochet!! It’s the greatest therapy I know to take your mind off of anything that is bothering you! I like just using one hook to work on a project. I can get things done faster when I crochet!
I love both, but I prefer knitting.
I prefer crochet but can knit also .
I absolutely LOVE to crochet! I have tried knitting a few times but I can never get the hang of it like I do with crochet….sometimes I crochet while watching my favorite TV shows!
I like both to knit and crochet; however I really, really, love crochet the most! I guess because of the comlexity of thread crochet patterns
I knitted from the age of 5 till in my 20’s; then my mother in law taught me to crochet. I’m 66 and still crocheting. Current projects are afghans for all 14 of myrandchildren.
Thank you.
I love. Crochet
Crochet, at the moment.
Crochet
Although I want to knitting I haven’t yet I’ve only been crocheting for a year and a half up to for hours a y I cannot put my hook down to pick up needles
I love to crochet
I like both but crochet is easier on my arthritic fingers
I am a self taught crocheter and knitter. I love the ease and quick finish of crochet. I enjoy my knitting projects more! I currently have a project in both knit and crochet working! I am currently trying to teach my daughter in law how to crochet and the kits would really help her.
I crochet and knit – I like crochet better for afghans – I like knit better for hats and sweaters!
Although I know how to do both, crocheting will always be my favorite!!
I love to crochet but I would like to learn to knit.
Crochet
CROCHET = SANITY!
Crochet, which I’ve done since I was a child. I’ve always wanted to learn to knit though.
I love knitting AND crochet! My favorite book combines the two, “Knitting Loves Crochet.” I started a knitting and crochet group that meets weekly at our local library, and help people with both crafts. Fun!
Crochet!! And now I’m still learning how to knit 🙂
Crochet only because I’m better at it.
I prefer to crochet. Would love to win this lovely yarn, needles and pattern book.
I prefer to crochet. I’ve tried knitting but can’t seem to get the hang of it.
I love both!! I’ve been crocheting longer so I’m better at that, but I’ve been doing a great deal of improving my knitting skills. Just bought a book over the weekend called Circular Knitting Workshop and I love it!!! This will definitely take me further in my skills and wil challenge me!
I prefer crochet but do both
I crochet much faster than knitting so that is my favorite.
I have been knitting pretty much all my life. I was taught how to crochet just a few years ago. There are some things I prefer to knit and others, I have discovered I really love crocheting better. 🙂
I like knitting over crocheting but it really is dependent on how hard I’ve been “thinking” during the day. If I’ve been doing highly detailed work, then I crochet because it helps free my brain!
I’m trying to learn how to knit, but I’ve been crocheting since I was very young.
crochet is the best,
I love the look of knitting but just can’t master, crochet is my choice, it is just faster to crochet than it would be to take the time to learn to knit.
I like to crochet better than knit cause I only have one needle to keep up with. I tend to misplace it!
I crochet, I would love to learn how to knit
Crochet most definitely for me. I taught myself after breaking my elbow, little did I know what it would turn into! 😀
Knitting takes me waaaaay to long. The last thing I knitted was a baby blanket for my friend. I began when she was expecting her first child, and completed it when she had just given birth to her second! (3 years later!)
I prefer crochet because it is such a simple process and has so many different ways to make unique stitches.
Love them both.
I prefer crochet to knit for the simple fact that it is easier and there are many more designs you can do with ctochet. Crochet has many different looks to me whereas knit mostly all looks the same. And it is easier to stick a crochet hook and a ball of yarn in my purse rhan 2 knitting needles.
I love to crochet but I prefer the look of knitted stuff. I don’t know how to knit, I’ve started to learn but get too frustrated 🙂
It depends on the project, I knit and crochet it just depends on the look and feel I want.
I can knit a little but I do much better at crocheting.
I prefer Crochet …
This would be a great Birthday gift for me ..
I am a St. Patrick’s Day baby ….
Turning 50 today … Sin
Sigh … Not sin
I prefer crochet. It doesn’t take as much concentration as knitting and it works up way faster. .
I like them both, but lately I’ve done more knitting.
Crochet…but only because I’ve never learned how to knit.
If I knew how to knit, I would probably enjoy it as much as crocheting. Like my children, I take my crochet bag with me wherever I go. I would truly like to knit anything Irish knit.. I have made quite a few crocheted Irish ‘knit’ sweaters, hats, blankets.. But it doesn’t compare to the look of knitted… Happy St Patricks Day and Evacuation Day for all the fellow Boston fans!
Learned to crochet from my mom years ago. Knitting is too complicated and slow for me.
I love both and am most happy when there is yarn in my hands 🙂
I love to do both!
Crochet
I prefer crochet. I never could seem to catch on to knitting, although I love the love of knitted projects. K.
Love to do both
i taught myself to crochet and enjoy making hats etc, i am currently teaching myself to knit has found some gorgeous patterns which require both crochet and knitting. I also enjoy trying new patterns and practicing new skills
I love knitting when I am relaxing and crochet when I has times to watch Tv.
I love crochet, and I’m much better & faster at it than knitting. I’d like to get more proficient with my knitting because there are a lot of things I’d like to make, but need to get better at the techniques. However, I can do almost anything with a crochet hook!
Depends on the project and often do both in the same project. For example, I mightccrochet a decorative edge on a scarf that I knitted.
I prefer crochet- can’t get the hang of knitting
I prefer crochet. Only because I haven’t tried knitting yet. This would be great to be able to try something new!!!
I personally like crochet better because it is easier and faster for me to do. I’m also only handling one hook as opposed to two needles that tend to get in the way and are hard to maneuver at times.
Both. My daughter and I been learning together
Prefiero crochet, y cuando hago algo y Miro el resultado final me da una gran satisfaccion. Actual mentor estoy haciendo baby shoes para donaciones a Los hospitales.
Would love to win
I love crochet I find it easier than knitting x
Crochet. It is easier for me to do.
Crochet…maybe one day Knitting , but for now I just crochet. But I do Loom Knitting if that count for Knitting.
I prefer crochet, but I am determined to teach myself to knit also one of these days. I like crochet because it’s easier to fix mistakes.
I love to knitt mad I would love to get both though. I’m doing both and just love doing it and give my finish product to my family and friends.
I learned both and prefer crochet.
Mostly I love to crochet, taught myself. Love to make things for my family and friends. I have been wanting to learn how to knit for a long time and this would be the perfect time. Would add to my skills as I also do alot of sewing. Love to do things like this.
I [refer to crochet, it’s easier. But I would love to learn to knit better, I need to make myself practice.
I prefer to knit, but I can crochet as well. Even had to teach myself to crochet left handed to teach a friend!
I love to crochet. Mom taught me when I was young and now that my grandkids are here I have picked it up again. Funny I never forgot how. And I love it more now than before.
I enjoy crocheting. Knitting feels foreign to me, trying to get myself to learn the stitches and to knit more. Crocheting has been my life line. One year from Feb to Christmas – I made 16 afghans…. but never again.
I have never tried to knit I have always just liked to crochet, my dad’s secretary got me hooked on it, lol
i prefer knitting but i do both as well.
I like to crochet but I am still learning
Prefer crochet, but would love to pick up knitting again
I taught myself to crochet about 12 years ago. I would love to learn to knit also. This would be a great thing to win.
I crochet all the time, but I would love to learn how to Knitt.
I am a crocheter as my mom taught me when I was a young teen and I taught my daughter; however, I would love to learn how to knit so I can teach my daughter the art of knitting as well. After all, I am a crafty person! Thank you for this opportunity to enter and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!
I love both but like how crochet goes faster!!
I love to crochet! Of course, I don’t know how to knit, which makes it much easier to choose, lol. 🙂
Preference: crochet, knitting would be fun to pick up again
Love to crochet,its so much easier that knitting and your garments seem to grow quicker.
I have just discovered tunisian crochet and I love it so this is my new favorite hobby
My first love is knitting, but I also love crochet.
I learned both. but I prefer to crochet, it goes faster for me. Besides easier to fix if a kid gets a hold of it and starts to pull it out. I take my crocheting every where I go.
I prefer crochet over knitting only due to the fact I was taught as a small child by my mom. Knitting was something I taught myself in my 20’s.
I used to knit when I was in Jr High for 4H. I just recently started crocheting and knitting prayer shawls. I like to do both but my stitches are more even on my knitting. Maybe with more practice I will get my crocheting to look better.
I am learning how to knit and would love to learn how to crochet as well. This pack would be perfect for me to learn how crochet
I love to crochet. I would like to learn how to knit with needles. So either of the giveaways would be appreciated. Thank you for the chance to win them. 🙂
Crochet! Although i would love to learn how to knit!
I love crocheting, but I wouldn’t say I prefer it because I still have yet to try my hand at knitting.
I like both! But crochet is my absolute favorite. I used to watch my grandmother
crochet when I was younger, and fell in love.
Would love to win!
I’m learning both, but prefer knitting right now.
Crochet. Don’t know how to knit.
I’ve only learned crochet, but I love it! My daughter learned to knit from a teacher her Sophomore year, but she doesn’t pick up her needles often.
I love to crochet. It seems that knitting takes me longer.
Crocheting is my time to think, pray, and plan.
I can crochet just about anything and keep several projects going at once. But I’m taking knitting classes. Right now I’d have to say crocheting but that could change as I learn more about knitting.
I prefer crocheting – I am a newbie but it is so much fun!
Love to Crochet!!
Love to crochet. Teaching my 10 an 7 year old daughters to crochet as well. They are doing quite well.
I crochet & knit but I crochet day and night. I never ever leave home without a crochet project. I’m a huge fan of All Free Crochet & can’t begin to tell you how many beautiful projects I’ve completed that started with one of your free patterns. Thank you so much for all you do.
Crochet is so easy for me…I’ve been doing it since I was little. But I’m learning to knit and it INTRIGUES me so!
Crochet is best, but it would be nice to learn to knit!
I have only learned to crochet so far. It’s very relaxing and the patterns are numerous. Now that I am retired I can devote lots of time to learning more stitches. My sister attempted to teach me knitting about 45 years ago but I never got the hang of it.
My short-and-sweet answer is “krochet;” enjoy them both!
I love crocheting and knitting equally well. I always have a project of each going. When my hands get tired of crocheting and start hurting I put it up and take out my knitting project. I do wish, however that it would be as easy to fix a mistake in knitting as it is in crocheting. Your giveaway would really be appreciated as my ability to buy yarn has been cut dramatically with the loss of my husband a few months ago.
crochet! being at home with knee problems I find that when I crochet it relaxes me, I wouldn’t be without it!
It is crochet a I like to try a lot of different ideas.
I prefer knitting because it has a smoother look.
I like both knitting and crocheting. It is pure therapy!
I love to crochet. I can knit a little but I do not enjoy it like I do crocheting.
Love to crochet want to learn to knit
I really would like to know how to knit and having to book will help me out
I prefer crochet because it really is faster going than knitting unless you’re doing filet crochet. But, I’m a lover of all crafts/needlepoint and enjoy them all as time allows:)
I prefer crochet and I need to win this kit because I do not know how to knit. Would love to learn!
Crochet!! Knitting is a subject for study
You can never have enough yarn or book or hooks to crochet with. Thank you
amen!
I like crocheting the best. I love the look of knitted projects, but after learning how to crochet I find knitting a lot harder.
I LOVE to crochet!!! It keeps me from going insane in the real world! 😉
Amen!
Love crochet, but also started to knit about a week ago and also love it!
I prefer to crochet. It’s very relaxing!
I do not know how to knit yet, but I want to start learning soon to make beautiful pastel colored cardigans for myself. I do crochet and love to make cuddly stuffed animals for family and friends.
I love to knit but crochet is so much faster and easier to fix.. If I had to make a project in a jiffy I would prefer crochet! Cool prizes! This would be an awesome win!!
I prefer crocheting. I tried knitting when I was younger and may pick it up again when I have more time. But that is why I really prefer crocheting… time. It always seemed knitting a project took a lot more time to get anywhere with the piece, although I love some of the stitches from knitting. Also, my mom taught me to crochet. She loved it! She’s long passed away but this is one love that remains.
Crochet is my “go-to” craft but with R.A. being a cantakerous disease at times, I have been trying to teach myself to knit.
I prefer to crochet, though I can do both and I think that knitted items look more finished and beautiful! It just takes less time to crochet something.
I prefer crochet!!!!!
I prefer to crochet but I want to learnt o knot because i prefer the fabric that results from knitting. 🙂
Crochet! Have done it so long it’s second nature to me! Knitting is just so frustrating! My hands won’t behave themselves. Usually ends up looking like my feet handled the needles
I prefer crochet because I understand it better but would love to learn how to do more with knitting.
I love both, but I am able to crochet so much faster so it is my favorite take-along, get done quick project choice.
Crochet.
I love to crochet, i cant seem to grasp knitting.
I Love, Love, Love to crochet!!!!
I picked up crochet because my grandmother crocheted. I would love to learn to knit one day 🙂
I’m a crocheter for life! <3
I do both but I prefer crochet.
I love crochet, but I would love to refresh my knitting technique
I am just learning crochet, so I’d say I prefer it.
I prefer crochet, I know, SOME knitting but it is to me quite hectic in comparison to crochet!!
I prefer to crochet, my grandmother taught me how to knit, but over the years I have forgotten how to do it.
I love both, but I’m better at crocheting.
I like both and do both. I have been doing both for over 50 years.
Crochet!!
I love crochet….
I prefer crochet, simply because I never learned to knit. I tried once when I was young and didn’t “get it”, so I stuck with crochet…
I love to crochet. I take care of my 87 year old dad and crocheting helps me pass the time. Also it keep me active trying out new patterns.
I crochet & knit. It seems easier for me to learn new stitches and create more unique designs in crochet than knitting. I prefer Crochet.
that’s like asking if you prefer to breathe in or breathe out! Crochet is like fast food: Fairly quikc results, but can be a bit bulky and ungainly.. Knitting is like fine dining.. laceweight on toothpick sized needles, you knit *forever* OR bigger needles and bulky, still good but faster service..Both have their appeals at different times of the year of the day of my *mood*! 🙂
For me it’s crocheting! My Gram taught me and now that she is gone I think of her when working on a project. This winter I have done 4 afghans
I love crochet. But I would love to learn to knit. My grandmothers did both.
I prefer crochet because I am more experienced with it. But I do try to get some knitting time in as well.
Crochet. maybe because i’m better at it than knitting. I’m a bit clumsy with 2 needles hahaha.
100% crochet here 🙂
I love to crochet, but I do not know how to knit…I have tried and just can’t get it. But crochet is something I can just pick up and do!
Crochet is alot faster but I like both.
I love to crochet. I started to do it about 8 months ago and keep getting braver and would love to learn new things!
Crochet for sure!!
I switch back and forth. It usually depends on the pattern.
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was in grade school. Crochet will always be my favorite because it is part of the legacy she passed down to me! That said, I would love to try knitting, too. 🙂
love to crochet, didn’t do much for years as I worked alot. But since retiring and being home bound, I crochet every day, much of what I donate to the VA hospital and nursing homes in the area.
Knitting, it seems to make more sense to me.
i like crochet.i think it`s easier and you can carry it anywhwere you want!!!My grandma tried to learn me many many years ago but just a few months ago i started it.And i love it.
Oooo, now that’s a tough one . . . knitting for when I want to relax . . . crochet for when I want to get creative 🙂
Depends on my project, some things I like to crochet and some things I’d rather knit. I do like crochet for the take along projects and the knit for the snuggle up and settle in projects.
I love to crochet. My great-grandmother taught me when I was a teenager, although I have taught myself further and more detailed throughout the years.
Knitting was my first love but I’m slowly starting to prefer crochet simply because it’s faster
Crochet…..but I’m trying to teach myself to knit too.
I only know how to crochet but I want to learn how to knit. So right now I prefer crocheting.
I am new to crochet more it seems easier. I love this site seeing that I am new to crochet this page keeps me excited and waiting to see what will be in the next day.
I LOVE both and I LOVE this site for all the wonderful patternsthat keep me busy!
I prefer crocheting over knitting but I am considering learning how to knit.
I prefer crocheting because that’s all I know how to do. But, I taught myself and someday may teach myself to knit.
I enjoy crocheting because it’s allowed me to reconnect to my creativity and it’s relaxing.
In general I prefer crochet, but some projects I definitely want to knit!
I like both, I’ve crocheted longer. I just learned how to knit this year.
Knitting. I’m just learning to crochet, but I’ve been knitting for a long time.
Crochet for sure!
Crochet! 1) I love it! 2) I have no idea how to knit.3) I dream in yarn!
I prefer to crochet but I do like knitting. I love making item’s that are use able and nice looking
Crocheting, I do knit too but I like crocheting better and it works up faster. My grandma taught me to crochet when I was nine, so I have been crocheting for a long time….
I love to crochet. I’ve never learned to knit, but I’m sure I’d love it once I learn.
Crocheting is my therapy.
Knitting, generally speaking. I do enjoy crochet for amigurumi, but most crocheted items start to look a lot alike to me. I think there’s a lot more visual variety in knit items at lower skill levels.
I enjoy crocheting more than knitting because it brings back memories of my mom and me crocheting together in the evening during the winter. We would start in October making Christmas gifts for my younger brothers and sisters. Warm feelings with crocheting!
I was raised in a time when moms taught their daughters sustainable skills. My mom taught me how to crochet, knit, embroider and needlepoint. My mother and I embroidered pillowcases for my trousseau. Of all things I learned, I prefer crochet. My mom taught my cousin, Maria, to crochet also. When she suffered a traumatic brain injury, I promised her I would do all the crocheting for her until she got better to do for herself. I’m sorry to say that after almost 8 years after her injury, she passed away. I’m happy to continue to crochet in her memory. ♡
I’m a crochet freak. I have made lots of different things and I love to give them as gifts.
Both.
I prefer crocheting but I love the look of a knitted project. I have tried to knit but I was always dropping stitches which was SO frustrating. I have made many crocheted baby items that were really beautiful, but I sure would like to make knitted ones. I am now trying to teach my 14 year old granddaughter to crochet. It’s something I can leave with her, just as my grandmother gave me!
CROCHET all the way…..
I prefer crochet. I found so many free pattern on your site. Every time when I make something for my girls and friends, they love them. When I was little, I learned to knit from my auntie. I always had trouble to pick up the stitch I dropped. I found it easier to pick up stitches from crochet, even I undo my work.
I prefer crochet but I’m teaching myself how to knit too 🙂
My grandmother taught me to crochet prior to her passing, she taught me to knit also but I never really got the gist of it. Now my sister and I make hats for charity for cancer centers. Nothing like placing a smile on someone’s face!! Good luck to everyone!
Crochet. I learned to knit as a kid because I didn’t understand crochet. As an adult, I find it much more fun. I am trying to teach my kidlet how to knit now though.
I enjoy both but crocheting is my favorite.
Crochet. 🙂 I would love to learn to knit, but I have been crocheting since I was 5. It is something my mother taught me and something we can enjoy together. 🙂
I know how to do both and love the look of knitted items…but much prefer to crochet.
crocheting is my addiction!
I don’t know that I could pick one over the other. I love to crochet and knit equally. I have crocheted for many years and just recently learned to knit, so it is always a learning experience..
i crochet and love it! so addictive 🙂 x
I’ve crocheted since I was a child and taught myself to knit many years ago and I love them both!!!!
I prefer to Crochet. I tought my self as my high school senior project, that was 15 Years ago and I love it stll today!!
At this point I only know how to crochet so I guess that would be my favorite. I have wanted to learn how to knit because there are so many great patterns out there. I’m excited that the prize would include a kit that would hopefully help teach me how to start knitting.
I do both but crocheting is faster and easier to correct the boo-boos. My family loves the
results.
I love to crochet! But I have been seriously debating on learning to knit! This would be a god place to start!
I prefer to knit,but I change over to crochet when I get bored with knitting or am making an afghan.
I was taught to knit at school age 7, then decided to teach myself crochet. I am now 65 and love both, but crochet is quicker and my house is full of crocheted doilies which are my favorite thing to do. I made enough for my wedding favors which everyone loved. Arthritis is making crochet a problem, but I still keep going and will do as long as it is possible.
Now it is crochet as it is easier on arthritic wrists. I am really thankful for the new designer patterns like Yumiko Alexanders’ Rustic Modern. If I can’t crochet I become most unhappy
Knitting! I love to crochet but can barely knit. Been many years since I’ve tried and there are some beautiful patterns out there.
I prefer to crochet, I love the fact that I can throw it in my travel bag and take it anywhere with me, no fear of it coming undone like I would with knitting. I teach crochet to friends and would love to win this gift to give to one of my newest members that started yesterday and made a potholder, as she is leaving this area to go on internship in another state. I would keep the learning to knit kit for myself to finally craft the art of knitting. My kids laugh at me, but crocheting is so relaxing for me, sometimes I fall asleep while crocheting and get awoken when my hook hits the floor. Thanks for this opportunity to share.
It depends on the project…for something like pot holders or a bag I prefer crochet…for sweaters and shawls I prefer knit them.
I have loved crochet since I was about 12 years old. I had to teach myself by looking at illustrations (the written instructions didn’t make sense at that time). I’m also self taught in knitting the same way… although still a beginner. This would be a great prize to win… thanks for the opportunity.
Crochet is easiest for me and I love it. Even doing it today, on my birthday 🙂
Crochet. It just seems to be easier on my hands.
I have knit “forever” and just used crochet as an adjunct, such as edging around a knitted item, but have recently started to crochet baby hats.
New to crochet and really enjoying it
Which hobby do you prefer: knitting or crochet?
Crochet. Knitting brought me to crochet and I try to make a knitted item every so often just to keep up the skills, but I am much faster with a crochet hook.
I love crocheting because i can leave it and come back ti it without losing my place. Used to be able to knit, but somehow have forgotten how to…. will have to practice more as there are some good patterns i would love to make..
I can do both, but prefer to crochet
I just learned to crochet within the last month so that I can make items for my great niece due in a couple of weeks. So far: beanies, booties, a blanket, diaper cover, and a scarf for me!! Knitting can’t be far behind!
Hi – I have been knitting since I was knee high to a grasshopper, and my ma taught me to crochet in the last few years when I was grasshopper size (not much taller then!). I love both and the different effects you can get, but find crochet much faster and easier, especially when you have made a mistake and need to unravel!
Thanks x Smita x
I like to crochet more, but mostly because I am still figuring out knitting
Since I am just learning to knit and attempting to crochet, I have to say I prefer knitting, but I hope to master crocheting because I think it will be easier and faster!
i like crochet better . i have been doing it for 35 years now. I’m trying to teach myself to knit. I can make simple things like hats and scarves, they are not perfeccct but they are useable.
I am an advanced beginner crocheter. I would love to learn more. However, I would also love to learn how to knit. I’ve seen a lot of cute knitting patterns lately!
I love crochet and think it will be my favorite, but I want to learn to knit so I can decide!
Crocheting!! I have successfully knitted one scarf, switched to crocheting and haven’t looked back LOL!!
I prefer knitting but would like to learn to crochet. On the other hand, I do not like FB.
I do both but like crochet best to hard to fix a mistake in knitting!
I am teaching myself to crochet (intermediate beginner) and still have a lot to learn 🙂 but have been wanting to learn to knit as well.
Crochet
I enjoy crochet but I am now trying to learn knitting.
I like to crochet more than I do knitting. But I like the look of knitting better than crochet. Hopefully someday I will be able to knit as well as I crochet.
I mostly crochet. I DO know how to knit but I’m not very good at it. I suppose I need to practice more in order to get better.
I prefer to knit, but I add crochet borders on many items!
I like to crochet. I am teaching myself. My 1st grade granddaughter came home from school and said that her girlfriend’s grandma “crokays” her cute hats and would I “crokay” her some. Well that was all I needed. (I can’t say no to that face). I have made her three. She loves them. Next I’ll try knitting.
I prefer to chrochet. I find that it is faster than knitting but I love the versatility that knitting provides. They are both wonderful hobbies and crafts.
CROCHET! It’s easier for me.
I love crocheting!
I love to crochet and I can knit but not very well. I would love to learn how to knit better and to expand my crochet stitches. I am just beginning to find places online for needle crafters. It is such a wonderful way to pass the time when I can afford the yarn.
Knitting would be my fav as I do it more often.
Hmmmmm …. hard call! I’ve been knitting so long that it feels kind of like coming home when I pick up some needles yet I love the versatility of crochet and the ease with which intricate patterns can be done with a crochet hook .. not to mention it is possible to see results way more quickly.
I do crochet but I would love to learn how to knit also to combine both, imagine the possibilities!!!!
I prefer crochet. I find it much easier than knitting and love the range of projects I can do. Mostly I do afghans.
Have beautiful crochet work from my Mom. She taught me how to when I was 10 yrs. old. She crocheted a beautiful rose bedspread for my wedding in 1959. She couldn’t afford to buy all the yarn at once, so there is multiple shades of pink & white! Would not change it for the world!
I like to crochet the most because its easier to learn and teach someone as well.
I prefer crochet over knitting.
I learned to crochet by myself through trial and error. I have to say crochet is my favorite.
I like them both equally. They are great in different ways
It depends on the project. It’s easier to knit while watching TV; however, crocheting is faster if it is double or triple crochet.
I would much rather knit than crochet. I think it is just faster for me to knit.
Crochet
I crochet in the fall and winter and do counted cross stitch in the spring and summer.
I crochet & LOVE it but plan to learn knitting once I learn a ton more crochet stitches!
Crochet for sure!!! mostly because I have yet to learn to knit!
I like crocheting I’m not smart enough to knit.
I love crocheting…I used to knit too, but my carpal tunnel has made that very painful. I have to take many breaks while crocheting, my hands go numb quickly, but it doesn’t stop me!
I prefer crochet
I prefer crochet to knitting but I do both. Crochet is much easier to grab ‘n’ go and I seem to be less demonstratively CRAFTING when I’m hooking while visiting than with two knitting needles scissoring up and down.
I love them both, I can’t pick but . . knitting for when I want to relax . . . crochet for when I want to get creative.
I’ve crocheted for years and love working with both thread and yarn making gifts for friends and family. Recently I learned to knit and boy, is it hard to get the hang of 2 needles and the right amount of tension. I’m much happier with a hook!

I love both but crochet is faster and easier by far.
I prefer crocheting, I just can’t seem to get the hang of knitting, but I keep trying.
I like both, but crochet seems 2 b a bit easier on arthritic/fibromyalgic fingers.
I prefer crochet because it seems to go so much quicker. I am going to start knitting again too but will have to learn a lot again,
I love crocheting, but I want to learn to knit. I have had a hard time since it can be so different that crocheting.
Crochet!!!!!
Crochet
Crochet – I tried to learn to knit but can’t seem to work it out – I’m ambidextrous & my brain made the adjustment for crocheting – besides, I don’t think I would be able to control the urge to poke people with a knitting needle =)
i love both but prefer crochet.
I love to crochet and I’m learning how to knit so this prize would be awesome for me to win. 🙂
I am better at crochet i would love to be better at knitting though
can’t stay away from my crochet hooks.
I prefer crochet =)
i love both but knitting is my favorite
I like and enjoy both knitting and crochet. If I need a quick fix I will pick up a hook asd I believe crochet is faster. Knitting offers a different look and I will enjoy lacy project from my needles. There is room for hooks and needles in my yarn bag.
I learned to knit and crochet 40 plus years ago. I really like knitting but just tried crocheting a sweater for my new grandbaby that is coming in May and I really have enjoyed making it.
I prefer to crochet, it goes faster. I learned to do both but since my mother and grandmother preferred to do crochet I wanted to do what they did so I’m better at crochet now too. 🙂
Like to Crochet but would love to learn to knit…so these would be extremely helpful…
I prefer crochet over knitting, but I can do both and sometimes knitting certain things turn out looking better than the crocheted product. My grandma taught me to crochet when I was 8 years old and I haven’t quit. I love it!
I prefer crochet over knitting, because for me, it is quicker. I can make a scarf in a little over an hour, fringe and all.
I prefer to crochet only because I am much more experienced at crocheting than knitting.
Knitting for garments, crochet for everything else.
I prefer to crochet, but only because I have never had the opportunity to learn to knit. Now that I have a disability that affects my hands, I may find knitting to be easier. I would love to find out.
I like knitting better. But crochet has so many more stitches. I like both but I like knitting more.
Love to crochet but would like to learn to knit.
I prefer crocheting….lots of different stitches and the outcome is much faster.
i enjoy crochet the most.
Love crochet. So much faster than knitting. I would make some baby shoes with the yarn.
I loves both but number one for knitting.
Crochet is my choice!!!
I prefer to crochet. I was taught by my grandmother when I was a little girl, and it rings back fond memories of time spent with her.
For pride in accomplishment I choose knitting I’m still learning. For creative flexibility crochet. ican construct without a pattern more easily
I love both, but think I prefer knitting. I don’t have to “look” at the wool/needles when I’m knitting, saves on the eyes, lol. With crocheting, I have to look at every stitch. But then again, I like crocheting because it works up faster in general. I guess it depends which day you catch me on 😉
Have taken crochet up again, since my husband recently passed away. Almost like starting again until I realized that it all came back so easy!
Depends. Crochet projects usually work up quickly and travel better, but knit projects have a special charm all their own.
I prefer crochet over knitting (though I do both) because I find crochet more portable and easier to repair errors.
I just started learning how to crochet and think it’d be cool to learn how to knit as well. There’s no one in my family now that crochets or knits so I’m having to teach myself how to.
I enjoy crocheting. My mom taught me when I was in my early teens and I’ve been going crazy ever since 🙂
I’m loving crochet! I’ve never tried knitting but would love too!!
I prefer crocheting since it is easy, fast & creates great projects.
I’ll always be a crochet girl!
I do both, taught on both. I make allot on slippers and they are knitted. I like to crochet so many more designs if I did win I would make a shawl.
Faço os dois mas prefiro o croche pela delicadeza dos trabalhos que podemos realizar.
There I’d a soft spot in my heart for knitting as I was exposed to it first early in my life, as I’m older now I’m self teaching to crochet and I’m getting to really love it as well.
I prefer to crochet… much easier and quicker!
I was taught in Home Ec in High School to do both. But later after I got married, I picked up the crocheting again and have not stopped for 30+ years.
I love crochet the very most. Learned from the very best…my mother at 8 years of age.
I like both..it depends on what I’m making..I really love to combine the two, like for example a crochet teddy bear wearing a knitted scarf.
I love to crochet.
Crochet. I am trying to improve my knitting ability. Would love to win this and make something special for a daughter for Christmas.
After giving it much thought. I can’t choose. It really depends on the project. Don’t really like to knit afghans throws unless they are for babies or can be done in strips. LOVE to knit shawls, and scarves.
I love to knit! It is very relaxing! I can crochet just as well though!
I love to crochet and have for several years. Am just now taking a knitting class and so far I am enjoying it. But if I had to choose – it would be crochet.
I started out knitting because someone taught me. Then I switched to crochet. I found it much easier and quicker. I don’t do anything fancy, but enjoy what I do. Keeps this 66 year old great-grandma busy. I have learned to do afghans, beanies (for great grands), potholders, dishcloths. About 10 years ago I made some xmas trees. That was a challenge but sold quite a few. I am on oxygen 24/7, so don’t get out much, so this is a good hobby to have.
I really enjoy knitting. I would like to learn to crochet. I see many patterns I would like to make that are crochet but haven’t taken the leap to learn yet.
I prefer crochet, but love the way knit looks.
I think knitting is easier.
crochet
I can do both, but I prefer knitting. My Mother, who is no longer alive taight me starting when I was 4 or 5 years old. I miss her so much and knitting makes me feel close to her.
I like both knitting and crocheting as I always have a project of both going. Right now I have the 1st of a pair of socks on the needles and a afghan going with a crochet hook. If I won this prize I would give it to a friend that is trying to crochet but is having a road block with it.
I prefer to crochet only because it is easier to hold the hook. I think knitting is much prettier
Knitting, because that’s what both my grandmothers did.
I prefer crochet because I have been doing it a lot longer.
i prefer crochet, learned young and love it!
I like crochet the best even tho I do know how to knit. I have taught others how to crochet and have some students now who are wanting to learn.
I prefer to crochet only because that is what I know. But been trying to teach myself to knit also. My daughter seems more interested in learning to knit though.
Crocheting, just because I feel more sure of what I’m doing.
Crochet
I prefer crochet. Knitting is much more frustrating.
I enjoy both crcoheing and knitting, however since i like making socks i prefer to knit them. It is faster to crochet but usually takes more thread/yarn than knitting does. If making baby items i usually crcohet them but for older children and adults i prefer to knit!
Crocheting – I like the different ways it can be used.
I do both but prefer crocheting when I can pay attention to what I’m doing. When I can’t pay attention….. I knit washcloths! Hoping to win!
Crochet but I would like to learn knitting
I prefer to crochet, I seam to have a problem with 2 needles.
Crochet
I do both, depending on mood. This yarn has shawl written all over it!
I love to knit and would like to get better at crochet.
I began using Simplicity Patterns when in the 7th grade in junior high school (1968). The crocheted lavender collar in the photo brings back some wonderful memories! 1968 is also when I also learned to crochet and loved adding my own touch to outfits I created. I remember crocheting a detached white scalloped edge collar to wear on the neckline of various dresses and blouses to set them off (very similar to the one in your photo)! Rather than a button, I sewed a small hidden hook and loop attachment in the back to get it around my neck and used a small safety pin at each shoulder underneath to hold it in place. Crochet and sewing have always seemed to go together best for me. Thank you so much for bringing back this long forgotten embellishment! I would love to win today’s special prize!
if i win this i would make blankets for project linus as this is what i do.
I can do both but I prefer crochet. I’m a beginner at knitting so I can do just basic stitches now. 🙂 In crochet I’ve been playing with Amigurumi and trying to not let them look like little gremlins..
I like to do both, but I prefer crochet when I go somewhere.
love them both – can’t really choose
love both but i find myself crocheting more often
I like crocheting best.
I prefer knitting, but I’d consider crochet if I won the giveaway!
I do both but crochet I find is easier and the outcome is quicker.
I like crocheting, seems like the project is so much fancier plus I find I get the craft done much faster.
I love to crochet but have started to knit again .also
Crochet it’s faster to me.
I love me some crocheting, but who wouldn’t love to start something new?! How about knitting!
crochet is my thing, i would make a scarf or cowl if I won
I prefer to crochet only because I am in the very early learning stages of knitting.
Crochet i enjoy and like doing best 🙂
I love crochet because is very relaxing and makes me proud when I finised a project and give it to my loves ones.
I love to crochet
I know how to crochet, but I much prefer knitting.
I prefer crochet. Today. Tomorrow it’ll probably be knitting.
i have just recently learnt to crochet and i love it but ive knit for quite a few years as well if i have to pick my favourite i would pick crocheting xx
I love to crochet and would like to learn to knit.
Crochet! I’m all thumbs at knitting.
I like to crochet
I really love knitting….only because I haven’t fully learned crochet yet.
