Well after crocheting for almost 15 years I have never picked up knitting needles because crocheting was so fun and interesting for me. I have my grandpa's knitting needles and endless number of books and patterns to get started.
Every time I go to the yarn store everything is focused on the knitter, the samples on the wall, the large wall of needles with the crochet hooks always in the lower section of the wall and everyone talking about knitting.
I always get confused with a knitter too, sometimes i get the 'Oh you crochet' look.
My friends say to me 'Did you knit that?',
I say 'No, I crocheted it'
'What's Crochet, is that with the hook thing'
'Yes, I'm a hooker'
I love crocheting and it will always be my number one favourite but I want to see what knitting is all about.
