They are all beautiful. It makes me want to get my yarn out.
I crochet but I can' knit.
It is easy to tell the difference between the two. Crochet looks the same on either side, while in knitting the stiches go accross on one side and vertical on the other side.
Those are great!
My sister Crochets. She made a bunch of scarves (I think around 100?) and sent them with her pastor to Romania, the church has several of orphanages there.

Ah, that makes sense! Knitting is easy, and, it's funny...I've heard some say that crochet is easier, but, then others have said just the opposite. I think it honestly depends on which you learn first. ;)Quote:

But it is a VERY addictive hobby, I am in a weaving class in april. So once you get started down this road it can take over :D
Those are so pretty! How cool that you learned how to knit. I've been thinking about it ever since I saw this little kit/dvd at Target. It taught you how to knit a doggy sweater.
How long did it take you to knit the scarf and hat?
Those are awesome, Kari!!!!
The orange scarf is really skinny (only 8 stitches wide, i think), and, it took me about 2 1/2 hours, but, I'm also just learning...it was my second scarf. I made it really long, but, very skinny...it's the only one I did straight through, though, so, the thicker scarf probably would have taken me four hours. The hats have only taken about an hour, but, I'm using the "knifty knitter", and, I don't know how long it would take to do it with knitting needles and a pattern. The circular looms make it really quick and easy.Quote:
