I think crocheting is easier than knitting. I am a very slow knitter and I also have trouble sometimes keeping a pattern straight. If you goof up a pattern line you have to go back CAREFULLY and fix it. With crochet you make a goof and it's easy to fix and move on. You don't have to worry about dropped stitches messing up your work. Lately I have been intrigued with the Afghan stitch where you use an extra long crochet hook to crochet squares. So many fun things to do, so little time.
