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.
I was a knitter long before crocheting. BUT I found fixing mistakes in my knitting so much easier once I learned to use a crochet hook. I no longer have to rip out as much, as I can work back using a crochet hook if it just one or two stitches screwed up. How freeing! I did this on an Aran Isle sweater with a mistake in the middle of a cable.
