Crocheting Vs. Knitting

Me too, almost always the double crochet. I think all of us that like to crochet have a bunch of half finished projects. At least those that don't have a lot of time on our hands.

I know, now a bunch of you will respond that you always finish your projects and I will have to admit what a flake I am.

what size needle are you using?

Whatever is handy.

I just pulled the hook I used for the last one out of the drawer and it is a 6.5MM. I think I alternate between the 5.5MM, 6MM and 6.5MM. It really does depend of which one I can find when I get ready to start one. I always have several things going so sometimes it is a chore to find the right hooks and such.

SunnyDawn- you aren't a flake. Working on multiple projects is a sign of good multii-tasking ability and shows that you are highly creative. At least, that's what I tell myself.

I'm gonna show this to my DH. Maybe this will convince him...

Unfortunately the longer we're together the more he gets like me instead of the other way around.

Happy New Year everybody!!!

My "sides" aren't even... I have to admit that I don't count the stiches and just eyeball it. But it's still "wavy"? I guess I should start counting... I am really enjoying crocheting! I hope everyone in my family wants a scarf for X-Mas next year!

Once you run of of necks to scarve, there's alot of charities that ask for things like baby beanies and blankets you can crochet for. I've done a few sampler afgans (where each square is a different stitch pattern) doing them in baby size 8 inch squares, means if you hate the pattern you didn't just do a foot of a longer afgan to decide it doesn't work out.

This year I'm doing craft hope. http://crafthope.com/

If you need a little longer there's binky patrol: http://www.binkypatrol.org/index.cfm

Ah, the age old question! LOL
I prefer the look of knitted items over crocheted items, hands down. IMO, knitting does take longer than crochet.

Well yea, I hate to admit she's right. Crocheting is more versitile but a sweater or afgan made by someone who's really handy with those knitting needles is a thing of beauty.
