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

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

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

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

I prefer to crochet but I know that is because I'm much better at
crocheting and am just learning to knit. I have resisted knitting up
to now because it seemed boring while crochet had all these different
kinds of stitches and I love all the texture a nubby crocheted item
will give you. I don't really do lacy items with crochet tho. I like
the heavy crocheted items with very few "holes." Nothing better than
a soft, warm nap afghan that weighs a ton!
;-)

Even now with two knitting projects in the works, I still have to have
a couple crocheted items going to keep me entertained.

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

Hi Jo,

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

Hugs,

Nora

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

I'm with you, Noreen. I love them both, but definitely prefer knitting
to crocheting.
