I am clumsy with two needles. The other thing about knitting that confuses me is having two sides to each stitch; e.g. front leg, back leg, but which is which depends on whether one is on the RS or WS or knit side or purl side and sometimes the knit is RS and sometimes purl is RS! I am sure with practice it will become as intuitive as crochet's right and wrong sides. I prefer crochet because it can do all sorts of things instead of just in rows and rounds.<br />Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241896252474858543.post-45892459842179847122015-05-26T16:37:54.743-07:002015-05-26T16:37:54.743-07:00Well, my experience is very limited, but I'll ...Well, my experience is very limited, but I'll tell you what I think so far :) Crochet grows much more quickly, so there's the time advantage. However, knitted fabric feels much more flexible and stretchy. There's also the fact that there are fewer stitches to learn in knitting since everything is make with some kind of combination of knit or purl, but I rather like the complexity and versatility of crochet more since there is more to learn and there are more ways to use what you've learned. Crochet also seems to be much easier to fix!
