I can knit and crochet but find crocheting much easier and faster. When my girls were small I knitted one a skirt with straps and the other a hooded poncho with ducks knitted in. I have also knitted a few other things but a friend tried to teach me to knit socks. I got one made and that was the end of that. I have crocheted many things. Back in the 70s I worked for a handcraft club where I crocheted ponchos capes and many other things. I have crocheted many sweaters over the years. I find crocheting more relaxing and more satisfying as I see completed projects faster. I do like to knit, as well as crochet, hats and scarves. I also like to embroider and paint besides my passion for quilting. There just are not enough hours in the day.
