	Fenhir Noble Well, I've practiced and now I'm a lot better. I find it hard to believe that crochet uses more yarn then knitting.... It's a lot faster though. Yes, it is a lot faster. In fact I made about three projects one weekend with crochet that would've taken me a week to do each one. And that's including the fact that I'm not supposed to crochet because of a wrist problem so I have to take a LOT of breaks!

	after some practice your stiches will look neater and more attractive. It also might help to play around with how loose your stitches are. Just be patient. and have fun making new stuff.

	I've heard that the difficulty level depends on what you learn first. My mother hates crochet but loves to knit. I find crocheting easier than knitting, but I've been crocheting for about 10 years and only started knitting a few years ago. I need to practice my knitting more, but crochet is so much faster for me. I don't like hearing either technique put down because each has it's good and bad points. I think that irish crochet would look horrible translated to knitting, but knitting is better for sweaters because it drapes better and uses less yarn. I also prefer crocheted afghans to knitted ones, the knitted ones are too stretchy in my opinion. I look forward to the day when I can knit a sweater and then use crochet to embelish it.

	pinkteddy I gave up on crochet. . . knitting was so much easier, better, and better looking! Crochet just wasn't my type at all. I did the same thing. I totally suck at crochet.

	sweatdrop I have a stupid question. Can you make the same things with crocheting and knitting? Like, is one better suited for making certain things? Whenever I learn...which, who knows when that will be, I want to be able to make stuffies-which is better for that? Thanks!

Knitting is better for things that you want to stretch and drape well, crochet is stiffer and usually makes a denser fabric. There are exceptions to this rule, you can crochet with a larger hook than recomended and get a looser fabric and you can knit with smaller needles than recomended and get a tighter fabric than normal. I've seen both knit and crochet stuffies.
