Faster than knitting, also easier to learn. I prefer to knit on a machine anyway. With crochet, a lot of the magic is in its flexibility of the stitches. How magical!
I find it easier than knitting for some reason, but if knitting is your bag, then go with that. I just love turning my brain off and crocheting while I watch tv or listen to a podcast!!!! If you have the problem that I do where you need to have something to do w your hands while you sit still (lol) (needing to be productive while relaxing) (aka ADHD) this is great. And bonus you get a new sweater or hat or blanket when you’re done!
you also might have a hard time bc knitting can take longer than crocheting. i personally learned to knit first and then crochet, which i bet is easier than learning to crochet first then knit. regardless, good luck!
It’s a lot of fun now (and so convenient for my lifestyle) but maybe I was meant to figure it out later anyway. I know I wouldn’t have explored other weaving techniques as much if I learnt crochet first, that’s for sure.
