SomeOfMyFavs Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Any flying needles out there keeping the hands occupied? Only really made simple things myself but considering some more daunting projects. Link to comment
TheCakeIsAlive Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 *slowly raises hand* Mainly scarfs so far, but I have recently acquired a few knitting looms on which I've practised making bags on and will probably soon have a go at comfy socks. What kind of projects have you done? Link to comment
SomeOfMyFavs Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Mainly scarves also but on a really bulky pair of 24 inch circulars so I'm considering my first hat or getting a really large pair of circulars for a baby blanket. Link to comment

Hiding in the corner Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I know how to knit, but i dont like it too much, I think i hold the needles too hard and it hurts my fingers after couple hours.I like crochetting much better and I have made couple things, I think my biggest effort was one doll that i made for my friend as birthday gift. It took 6hourse non-stop crochetting, but she liked it so it made me happy to make it and sacrifice the time. I did enjoy making it, but if she wouldnt have liked it, it would have felt a little wasted time. Link to comment
EmeraldThread Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I tried learning to knit earlier this year, and I can do the basics (enough to make a scarf). But I crochet all the time, and have been doing it for about two years now. I like being able to make gifts for friends, and determined to make as many as possible this year as opposed to buying stuff (which turned out to be a lot more time consuming than I anticipated). But it's really satisfying to crochet and/or knit! And it's kind of cool finding out when other people do, too. Link to comment
YoriYori Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not knitting (two hookless needles intimidates me...!! I don't know why..) but I have crocheted blankets and stuffed animals! Yay for handmade goods !! Link to comment

SomeOfMyFavs Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 I hear rumors that crocheting is much faster (or at least can be?) is there any truth to this? I have never crocheted myself. Link to comment
Hiding in the corner Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I hear rumors that crocheting is much faster (or at least can be?) is there any truth to this? I have never crocheted myself.Atleast for what I feel, crochetting is faster, but it's probably because I'm not too good at knitting. I think it depends of how big the project is, but i still think crochetting would win maybe with tiny bit.Atleast crochetting is easier to learn, I think since you dont have 2 needles and you dont have to worry so much of accidentally skipping a loop. I usually watch movies at same time and just feel with my fingers so there wont be holes in the finished crochet and I dont need to look at what i'm doing all the time, so i enjoy it very much. It's pretty relaxing and it feels great when you see it finished and you can just think "I made this." Link to comment
