knitting...my first scarves and hats!

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.

That's awesome! The lady at the store I have gone to, has participated in making hats for orphans. It's such an awesome thing! When I get on a steady money-earning thing again, I may try to do that. It's not expensive, but, more than I can do right now.

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.

Oh! Well, that was easy enough. Thanks!

I have been knitting for over 20 years, but for the life of me I can't seem to crochet. I have learned a couple of times and promptly forgot it as soon as I finifhsed what ever I was doing. For me, the knitting was so much easier.

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

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?

How long did it take you to knit the scarf and hat?

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.
