Re: Crochet vs Knitting?

‎08-24-2016 10:29 AM

I learned to knit Continental and it is very fast.

 

I enjoy making socks but knit them on traditional double pointed needles, some as small as size 0 (like toothpicks).

 

1 Christmas I became obsessed and knit 18 pairs of socks as gifts. Again, my brother and now his sons became my 'poor' recipients. He has never complained.

Thanks, Ruthie. I will check her out. Yes, I know we're doing granny squares. Smiley Happy

They offered a knitting class, too.  I might try it.
