Crochet or Knit

[dolmena]

So, should I learn to knit or crochet? I'm left-handed, does that make a difference? (Other than being the reason I haven't already learned; my great-aunt gave up after teaching me embroidery.)

It depends what you want to make.

Knitting is good for making large tubes i.e. socks, scarves, and sweaters.

Crochet on the other hand is good for making small things and strange shapes. i.e. Monster Crochet, and sexy crochet, science crochet, and recycled crochet
