    Crochet does it for me though it would be interesting to see if I could learn to knit.

  2. Dena Freeborn says

    I love to crochet because it is less complicated than knitting. I have tried knitting several times but just get frustrated. Being a type “A” personality, I have control issues and you just can’t control knitting. Hahaha!!!

  3. carolyn wilcox says

    i prefer crochet because my hands shake and i get frustrated with dropping stitches in my knitting attempts

  4. Kelly Miller says

    March 13, 2014 at 12:03 pm

    I love knitting. I love crocheting. I teach both at a craft store nearby. I prefer knitting because I like the fabric better. I actually prefer the motion of knitting.

  5. Sue Wilson says

    March 13, 2014 at 3:45 pm

    Crocheting relaxes me. I can crochet for an hour and complete a project or at least have a lot to show for my time, while knitting for and hour, I’ve gotten very little done. I love crocheting!!!

  6. Sharon Dowse says

    March 13, 2014 at 4:56 pm

    I like both. I will do whatever I find a cute pattern for.

  7. Linda Morales says

    March 13, 2014 at 5:03 pm

    I LOVE to crochet……………but want to knit some day!!!

  8. Marilyn Forsyth says

    March 13, 2014 at 5:57 pm

    I love to knit, crochet, cross-stitch and sew. I could really love to have the prize in this contest. Simplicity is the best.

  9. Deb says

    I love to crochet

  10. Jenn Lockhart says

    March 13, 2014 at 10:48 pm

    As I begin to pass the tradition down to my daughter, I can’t help but to think how wonderful it would be for her to have not only my hand me downs, but some new of her own. Winning these prizes would make her so happy! Thanks for the opportunity and your wonderful page.

  11. JoAnne Hudy says

    March 14, 2014 at 12:55 am

    For me, knitting is better (only because I can do it somewhat). For the life of me, I can’t seem to get the hang of doing any crochet. I sure would love to, though, because the intricate patterns are just beautiful!

  12. Bob Dolan says

    March 14, 2014 at 12:56 am

    Knitting. Because that’s all my fat fingers can deal with.

  13. Ami Patel says

    March 14, 2014 at 1:58 am

    I like the cute and simple pattern of this dress, especially the fact that it would be comfortable to wear on a hot, summer day.

  14. Maria Klueber says

    March 14, 2014 at 6:47 am

    Love to do both, but I find crochet more portable.

  15. Paula Edwards says

    March 14, 2014 at 12:57 pm

    Definitely find crochet easier and more relaxing… Especially in the car to work and back while Hubby’s driving… I Don’t become the back seat driver tee hee

  16. lorraine m says

    Knitting is what I do – I cannot get my brain to wrap around the crochet process. I’m sure it’s a left brain no brain syndrome. Someday I’ll write a story of the difference and create a theory whereby knitters win and are better and that is the end of that. 🙂

  17. Megan says

    March 15, 2014 at 5:20 pm

    Although, I seem to be more drawn to knitting patterns, I just can’t seem to get it. I find crocheting to be much easier and more relaxing. My perfect day is sitting and crocheting, without a care in the world! It gives me and my grandmother the perfect bonding experience and it’s awesome to see how excited she gets when I ask for her help. 🙂 She loves that I’m learning to crochet and have an interest in the things she loves!

  18. Marilou Nelson says

    March 17, 2014 at 12:49 pm

    I think knitting is better because it’s more relaxing for me.

  19. Cristina Besendorfer says

    March 17, 2014 at 9:30 pm

    This is such a nice idea! I am hoping to teach the women in our church group how to use looms to crochet shawls, baby blankets and baby clothing. I would like to learn to knit in order to teach the young women these skills. 🙂

  20. Julie Rheams says

    March 18, 2014 at 1:04 pm

    working with yarn relaxes me and I prefer crochet because that’s what I learned to do first

  21. Gabriele Jolly says

    March 18, 2014 at 9:35 pm

    Both equally good, crocheting is quicker for me and prettier patterns for Decor items. Knitted items are better and feel softer (less bulky ) for clothing in my opinion.

  22. Patricia Caborn says

    March 23, 2014 at 7:12 am

    I plan on learning to knit soon, however currently i do love crocheting. It relieves tension, and stress for me. I love that people enjoy my creations. I also feel amazing and happy when after many pulled rows, and stitches: something new comes out beautifully 🙂

  23. Marsha Davis-Hubert says

    March 23, 2014 at 10:33 am

    I like to do either one. I prefer knitting because it seems to have a more polished look. Crochet is better for afghans mainly because it is faster for me.

  24. LisaM says

    March 26, 2014 at 2:03 pm

    I don’t think one is better than the other; I only know how to knit though

  25. SUE COOK says

    March 27, 2014 at 8:40 am

    I just started to crochet and love it…always wanted to learn to knit. This kit would help me a great deal to learn how to knit..it has all you need to start a new craft.. Thanks for the change to win…good luck to all the posties and my self ..

  26. LuLu Eberle says

    March 31, 2014 at 5:57 pm

    I love to crochet and almost do so daily as it is the best day for me to relax after a long day at work. I am going to learn to knit one day as it is something I have always wanted to do but find it a little more intimidating.

  27. Josette Thelian says

    April 15, 2014 at 1:13 am

    I do both crochet and knit. I do not believe one is better than the other, I do think it is a personal preference. 🙂

  28. Rodney Lippard says

    April 22, 2014 at 9:49 am

    I don’t know that I can say either is better, it depends on the project. I started out crocheting when I was very young and only in the past several years have gotten into knitting. I find that I like knitting better at this time, but have recently been doing some crochet projects. However, my hands tend to cramp more when I’m doing crochet and I have to stop more frequently. I still feel as if I have a lot left to learn with knitting and that is probably why I’m enjoying it more at this time.

  29. Ayesha says

    January 21, 2015 at 4:47 am

    I love crochet as it is very versatile.

  30. Donna B says

    January 27, 2015 at 5:15 pm

    I would love to win. I love to crochet and can knit. More tools are always needed.

  31. Peggy Warren says

    March 16, 2015 at 2:00 pm

    i love crochet it goes much faster.

  32. Andrea Simpson says

    March 16, 2015 at 2:02 pm

    Crochet is easier to correct mistakes

  33. Rachel King says

    March 16, 2015 at 2:23 pm

    I prefer crocheting because I was able to teach myself how.

  34. Chris Dodson says

    March 16, 2015 at 2:58 pm

    I learned to crochet from my grandmother. Now that she is gone, I love creating things or replacing items that may have fallen apart. I am carrying on her legacy. I would like to learn how to knit though as I tend to like some items pattern/structure.

  35. Tina Hays says

    March 16, 2015 at 3:25 pm

    I prefer crochet. I taught myself to do both but I never really got the hang of knitting. It seems to me that crochet is a much more forgiving craft!

  36. Jackie says

    March 16, 2015 at 5:43 pm

    I have always been a knitter but have recently embraced crocheting. I love the way you can build shapes and structure, plus when you make a mistake and have to frog a few rows, there’s only one stitch to pick up on the hook! It makes the learning curve much less frustrating.

  37. Bonnie Banks says

    March 16, 2015 at 7:14 pm

    Crochet is the best! It only involves ONE hand trying to make all the squiggles and knots and such! HAHA! I suppose it is the better choice for those of us that aren’t as coordinated as others! I do know how to knit but it always took me SO LONG to complete a project. Crochet for me is so much more forgiving and gratifying for me. I can complete items with a hook much faster than a pair of needles. Yes indeed, I am a happy “hooker” 🙂

  38. Jamie W says

    March 16, 2015 at 7:16 pm

    Crochet is easier:)

  39. Margi Sweeton says

    March 16, 2015 at 11:19 pm

    I like the look of knitting better. It takes less yarn, but for warm garments I prefer crochet because you can get a much thicker item.

  40. Jessica says

    March 17, 2015 at 4:15 am

    I have always preferred crochet. But I did try to learn knitting once and I might try it again. Only time will tell 🙂

  41. DD Donnelly says

    March 17, 2015 at 5:57 am

    At the moment Crocheting it seems to be taking over my life and I am not protesting a bit

  42. Heather Petley says

    March 17, 2015 at 6:39 am

    I love to crochet! But have to admit I’m jealous of some of the cable knitting patterns out there. Crocheting is so relaxing-love curling up in the evenings watching a show and working on my latest project.

  43. Jennifer says

    March 17, 2015 at 8:41 am

    Taught myself to crochet from the encyclopedia 28 years ago and going strong ever since.

  44. linh says

    March 19, 2015 at 7:26 pm

    I like crochet better. Can’t wrap my head around knitting. Prefer just one hook. Using one hand than both

  45. Donna Saetre says

    March 1, 2016 at 2:41 pm

    I think each on has its place.depends on what you are making. I taught myself both, as I am left handed. Love to crochet stuffed animals .Like to knit dish cloths, Crochet to me is less complicated as knitting.and it goes faster. …

  46. mary Miller says

    July 10, 2016 at 2:20 pm

    Crocheting, for me it goes so much faster than knitting, and I love making things for charity, family and friends, it keeps me busy, and active in the community, let’s me do my part.

  47. Jillene says

    November 9, 2016 at 9:11 am

    Crochet is better, but only because I can do it better! I’m still a beginning knitter–it will take some practice to get to the same level I’m at with crocheting. Both fun! I love seeing the work as it progresses in both.
