Best Answer To Hobbies Crafts Question
Ah, interesting question! :) Knitting is done on two needles, transferring loops over from one needle to the other. The loops are interlocked from row to row creating a fairly flat fabric. Removing the needle(s) from live work is not recommended without the use of a stitch holder as it will come out. Drop a stitch, and you'll need to learn how to pick them back up again using a crochet hook. Crochet is done with one hook, with all loops but one worked off the hook to complete individual stitches. The last yarn over/pull through action "locks" the stitch in place allowing the hook to be easily removed from replaced in the work without fear of it unraveling. This gives crochet way more freedom as you can change your hook, fiber, stitch, direction OR dimention ANYwhere in your work! Due to the fact that crochet stitches are "locked" and worked individually, the end fabric is slightly thicker than knit. This also means you will use slightly more fiber to create your fabric. Does this mean that crochet can't have beautiful drape, or that the crocheter is stuck with just creating granny squares? Heavens, no! There is soooooooo much more to crochet!

Answer 1With crocheting, you use one hooked needle and pull the yarn through a series of loops to create different patterns. With knitting, you are using two pointed end needles and mostly use a combination of knit and purl technique to create a variety of patterns. If you are wanting more contemporary looking blankets, knitting will offer more than crocheting. However, crocheting has many beautiful stitches that will probably satisfy your need of being not granny. I'd suggest to try both knitting and crocheting to see which suits you better, because you will soon realize that no matter how good the blanket pattern is, if you aren't able to knit or crochet comfortably, you probably won't finish. You might also figure out that you enjoy both, and switch out. Have fun!

Answer 3crocheting is easier because you only have to keep track of one st at a time and you only use 1 hook. knitting ,you have 2 needles and you have to keep track of all the st on the needle as you work across. there are some good crocheting and knitting books at the library in the craft section and lots of patterns for both. check mary maxim site, they have a lot of kits to look at and a free catologue if you request one.
Answer 4knitted is a more closely woven stitch. Crochet is more open and to me since I am a crocheter has a more elegant look. Different people will agree which is better. but if you want to have more elegant look than I would say crochet.
