firecatLast night, my sweetie ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Why? I like them both equally, I go through phases of doing more of one than the other, but that's more to do with the projects than the technique.
Is one harder than the other for you? No, I am equally comfortable with both.
What was it like learning knitting and/or crochet? I don't remember much about the learning, I was 4 when I learned to knit and 9 when I learned to crochet... and that was a very long time ago. ;-)
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 have watched both of them go in and out of fashion so many times over my life... it's nice to see them back in vogue when it happens, but it doesn't affect what I do.
Have you encountered people who do one looking down on people who do the other? What's that about? I have met people like that, but I never hung around for long enough to find out what was driving their opinion. I think it's about making yourself more important or something of that ilk... can't see the need to do it personally.
