firecat: kittens sleeping on yarn (kittens on yarn)
[personal profile] firecat
Last night, my sweetie [livejournal.com profile] kyubi and I were discussing making fabric using yarn and sticks, including the fact that a lot of people either knit or crochet but don't do both.

Therefore, I want to ask a bunch of questions. Answer as many or as few as you like, or whatever else you feel like talking about.

Do you knit and/or crochet?

If you do both, do you prefer one or the other?
Why?

Is one harder than the other for you?

What was it like learning knitting and/or crochet?

If you do one but not the other, have you tried to learn the other?
Why or why not?

Do you feel like one or the other (or the products thereof) is "cooler"/more hip/more fashionable? Why or why not? (This isn't about what you think rationally but what you feel.)

Have you encountered people who do one looking down on people who do the other? What's that about?

I'll give my answers in a separate post.

Do you knit and/or crochet? I crochet.

What was it like learning knitting and/or crochet? I honestly don't remember, but I know I mostly learned on my own, and that I learned wrong.

If you do one but not the other, have you tried to learn the other?
Why or why not? I tried briefly to learn to knit, but my mom had forgotten how, so we dropped it.

Do you feel like one or the other (or the products thereof) is "cooler"/more hip/more fashionable? Why or why not? (This isn't about what you think rationally but what you feel.)

I think that knitted garments are more fashionable, but I like crocheted things a lot, especially if they are lacy.

Have you encountered people who do one looking down on people who do the other? What's that about? I don't think I have.
