I do both knitting and crocheting but knitting is my favorite as when I knit it's usually something to wear for others or myself. Knitting is a close second hobby to quilt making for me. Great relaxer, great totable hobby as it makes 'wait' time pass quickly. I was taught the basics of both when I was very young and have been self-taught since then. I've since moved on to circular needles for all my knitting and wouldn't invest in anything else now. Circulars are much more totable and legal than straight needles. Stay with either of these two hobbies and you'll never regret it. Knittting hats for babies/preemies and/or those less fortunate than yourself is a great way to get experience plus helping others.
