I love to knit but crocheting is faster for me actually, I guess because there arent nearly as many switch ups in a pattern, so I can crochet a sweater in a weekend but it would take me a week to knit it.!
I actually knit more often though, as I enjoy it more! (however last minute gifts can and have been done in a trip to the house placed in a bag and delivered with that Oh this?? it was nothing! ) Yes terrible confession but I did do my SIL shawl that way on a trip to KC kansas 5.5 hours WHEW!
She loved it and I was really happy that there had a been a bit of traffic!
