Just curious. I crochet a bunch, newly including Tunisian crochet. Tried knitting but that shit’s hard, and slowwww. Might use my knitting skills for super small stuff like washcloths, but I doubt I’d have the patience to create anything bigger.

Crochet, though. Crochet is dope. My favorite thing to make is scarves. They’re nice and easy but useful and usually don’t require you to count stitches like hats and other circular things do. I donate a lot of scarves and the occasional hat or blanket to local mutual aid organizations.

I may post some pics of my crochet later on, but atm I’m at work and can’t do so.

    Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I picked up knitting back in 2013 and crochet shortly after and they are basically my life.

    It’s great knowing both as you can pick whichever craft makes most sense for the thing you want to make. But admittedly knitting does seem to be playing second fiddle to crochet for me atm, there’s no getting round the fact that crochet is just way way faster. I’ll always love to knit socks though, they’re the perfect travel project and I try to always have a pair on the go!

    Currently working on two lacy crochet tops, both in black yarn because I’m sick of making things out of the pretty yarns but then never actually wearing them. My heart is black and I’m tired of pretending it’s not!
