To knit or not to knit?

A favorite pastime of mine, is to knit! It is the greatest feeling to have something you are creating and your expertise is focused on this next fantastic scarf, sweater or even something as big as a blanket. From your first starter swatch, to a scarf, you are the fantastic knitter, and it feels good to have some time to think of nothing but how the yarn feels, who you are knitting for, and when you should knit and when you should purl.

Stick with me, and we will move through the knitting world, at the same time exploring the many great options of hooking with crochet.

There are some many good ways to start a knit project, but the best is to buy the items you will need to start a simple square-for both tasks.

So, off you go to the craft store! Here are the supplies you will need for your first knitting project, and your first crochet project. After that, we can decide which way of knotting is your favorite, and how you feel about the process, as each option has benefits for any project.
