I soooooo wish I had my great grandma's crochet hooks. We didn't even know she crocheted until 3 years ago. I was working on a baby blanket for my son, and my grandma walked by and said "Oh! My mom did that!" Then it all clicked about where all these intricate blankets, doilies, and even lace gloves came from. She had made them all!!!! My heart aches knowing that her tools were sold off after she died.
Awwww, my heart hurts with yours. It sounds like you have a lot of the things that she made though, which they sound like treasures! Hugs to you. Isn't it amazing to think that something you enjoy was likely passed down through the generations to you! 🧶🧶🧶
You're so lucky to have the work of her hands in your life; God bless you with peace and satisfaction to have those items. My Grandma taught me to crochet one summer 64 years ago when I told her I was bored. I think of her frequently when I have a hook in hand; my love for crochet is connected to my love for her. As an adult, I used the hand-pieced quilt she made for her own bed until it was threadbare and I still love it. I told my kids, "Don't expect to use this; I'll wear it out because I love it so much!" Take your comfort in knowing that you share a love for the same art.
Funny enough, my temperament is more naturally suited to the immediate gratification and simplicity of crochet, but I found knitting to be a really helpful tool in working through some of that and also overcoming my perfectionism. It’s also given me the confidence that I can solve difficult problems or try something new, and I normally avoid challenges or risk.
I want to learn to crochet so I can make any amigurumi pattern, but there is just something about the look of a knit stitch that is just to die for for me. 😍
Thank you so much for sharing! I also love the look of the knit stitch, so beautiful. 💙💙💙
I started crocheting and have made many amigurumi projects!
That is wonderful! Amigurumi is so wonderful! 💗💗💗
I started crocheting first, but I just learned to knit. I just took this quiz for fun and, as expected, my answers were pretty split. I love both adorable crocheted toys and cozy knitted sweaters, more detail-oriented knitting and more relaxing crocheting, etc. The acts of crocheting and knitting are both enjoyable for me, which is what really matters, and I’m so glad I learned both. And might I add, you seem like a very nice and personable person, and your handmade toys in the background are so adorable!
Thank you so much!! I'm totally down the middle too! I want to make everything! I'm also so glad that I'm able to switch back and forth as the mood strikes! 🧶🧶🧶
I have been crocheting for about two years now and I’d like to share how it all started. My best friend actually loved to make chains and use them as bracelets and I loved to make them with her. But then I decided to go further and work off the chain. I made a rainbow very very long and skinny potholder, but we don’t use it. Then it was my great grandma’s birthday. I wanted to make something I wanted her present to be handmade! So I looked and looked all over UA-cam and I came across this crochet grandma looking doll. I had a crochet hook that my best friend gave me and I had a bunch of yarn my grandma gave me. Then after that I never stopped crocheting!
Awww! That is such a sweet story! I'm so glad that your grandma's birthday inspired your love for crocheting! 🧶🧶🧶🧶
I can knit and crochet. I learned crochet as a young child about 7 years old. My mother taught me. I am a self-taught knitter and I had a love/hate relationship with knitting for a long time. I began to knit for charity and my skills exploded. A friend asked me if I ever considered knitting socks. I thought that was the biggest waste of time ever! However, she convinced me that I would be elevated to a new level of knitting addiction. She was absolutely right!! Let me just say that whichever someone chooses, a clear focus should be to achieve excellence in your work. The satisfaction for me comes with the beautiful, well-made completed project. Keep striving to do things better!
Love this!!!! I feel the same way about pursuing excellence in whichever one someone chooses! It doesn't have to be perfect, but always striving to be better is something I try to do in my own life! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I so agree with the first question being the most important. Yes, I find crocheting easier, but I LOVE LOVE the look of knitted projects, and my mom who died when I was young was a knitter, so there has always been a yearning for me to learn to knit, I think it brings back memories of her to me. I finally took the plunge, and though I have gotten frustrated at times, I’ve stayed with it and am in love with it.
What a beautiful way to remember your mom! Knitting is so beautiful! So glad you're enjoying it! 💞
As a long time knitter, knit (a sweater at 14 and socks in Home Economics class jr high) I didn’t really need to take the quiz as I can do both and have, since my six kids grew up both knit and crochet toys. But I found the quiz and explanations very informative/helpful. Lately I have been exclusively knitting dolls and toys.
I am a couple of decades older than you and can second you on the fact that you can learn these skills if you have the desire to. I would highly recommend either skill as indespensible skills for going into senior years; but please don’t wait; the earlier you can learn them, the more you’ll accomplish I made several blankets for my kids and grandkids especially during the nursing baby years When you are mostly home with little ones these hobbies are easy to pick up and put down as the mothering requires. Besides you are likely to inspire your kids to be creative. Thank you for inspiring me with your beautiful creations!!
Thank you so very much for your kind words. I'm impressed that you could knit socks at such a young age! That is something I want to learn how to do! And I couldn't agree more, learn how to knit and/or crochet! There are so many wonderful things to make, it's so relaxing and it's something that just gets better with time! So glad you liked the video and quiz!
You're so right about needing perseverance. It took me forever to get uniform stitches and consistent tension. I was taught the pencil hold in crochet. I had no idea knife hold was an option until more recent years. One I used knife hold, the magic happened! If I had given up.... I never would have discovered it. Now I can even do amigurumi. But for years I couldn't even get a granny square right.
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
That’s so funny- a very similar thing happened to me with the continental style of knitting!
I learned the English style back when I was 14 using red heart super saver and some wood skewers (I was bored and needed a hobby). I was interested- and eventually got some boye straight needles- But the motions and the ‘throwing’ of the yarn was cumbersome on my hands-
Then, I tried a loom set from lion brand. In that loom set? A crochet hook
I hadn’t ever seen or heard of a crochet hook before, so I was curious once I found out you could make things with it? I kept with it since I did indeed find it easier. Did that for several years on and off (lost my crojo for a while though)
BUT! Recently, I was inspired to try knitting again- and, thanks to my years of crochet, I was able to pick up the (no pun intended) continental style of knitting much easier! The ‘picking’ of the yarn was much more similar to how I operated my crochet hook compared to the English style of throwing the yarn over the needles. Plus I already knew how to tension my yarn and hold my project, so now, I can do both!
@@lailanityler2380 wow that's so cool! It really does pay off to just keep at things and experiment. Try new things and continue learning. And then it's awesome when something just clicks and you take off with it.
I learned to knit fist. I just started crocheting about a year and a half ago. I enjoy both. I have made many blankets an just love doing that for people that appreciate them.
That's wonderful! It's so nice to be able to do both! 🧶🧶🧶
Hahahaha, I'm already a knitter but joined in the quiz out of curiosity. I'm indeed more inclined towards knitting (I got more A's), even though, my mum is a crocheter and none around me knits.
I remember when I first saw knitting on television, I just love the look of the two sticks rocking (aka the traditional straight knitting needles), but when I started, yeah it was frustrating when making mistakes but I loved the process, I still do. I don't know I just think that knitting is easier to understand, I never knew where to poke the hook into in crochet, even now that I can do a bit of crochet, I still have problems with where to stab the hook into, therefore I still fall back to knitting. After picking up knitting, I indeed love that knitting has more drape, I've tried to make a scarf with crochet but found that it's too thick for my taste, but I do love that crochet can make home items such as baskets and bags more easily, that one knitting really falls short.
In the end of the day, I have no regrets because I follow my heart, I love the feeling of making garment. Knowing a bit of crochet complements my knitting and I'm thankful that both crafts can coexist.
That's wonderful! I'm so glad you found the right craft for you! I love being able to switch back and forth between crocheting and knitting, but crocheting definitely comes more naturally for me. 💞
I'm 51 years old. My gramma taught me to knit when I was 7 and I taught myself to crochet a few years after that. Those skills have helped me through everything in life. Love your posts!
That's so wonderful! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Hi Elise. I found you by chance in a Facebook knitting group about a year or so ago and I have watched several of your videos, but with this one I felt like Anne with Diana, like we are "kindred spirits" 😆 I knit and crochet both, garments and toys, though not as often as I would like, and I do love both of them. Thanks for your wonderful, I spiring videos. 👏👏
I, personally, like to needle felt.
Oooh! I tried that once and really enjoyed it!! ❤️
SAME!!
this is a great quiz for finding out what area a friend is in when it comes to teaching them. I am 67. i have knitted for 60 years.Grandma. and crocheting for 45 years. i do both and have two projects or more in both at the same time.
I also love being able to switch back and forth between the two. 🧶🐑🧶🐑
I know you posted this a year ago, but I just recently started watching your posts. I began crocheting a little over a year ago so still fairly new. However, I feel like I've been doing it so much longer! LOL! I have tried knitting...several times...and it never seems to stick. As soon as I picked up a crochet hook, it felt like a Harry Potter receiving his wand moment! I haven't looked back yet. Btw, I answered the quiz with all B's and 2 C's...hahaha! Thank you for your posts and great instruction!
Haha!! Love that visual image of Harry and the wand! I felt the same way but one day knitting just clicked and now I switch between the two!
My mom tried to teach me crochet but I just couldn't get the hang of it, then I found a knitting class and was very quickly helping teach others how to knit, the first thing I did though was figure out how to cast off
That's wonderful!! It's amazing how one craft clicks and another is a struggle! I'm the opposite, crochet came super naturally and knitting takes a lot more effort for me! 🧶🧶🧶
Casting off is what made me throw in the towel with knitting.
"I wish my mouth worked sometimes" OMG I'M ALWAYS MESSING UP MY WORDS THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT lol.
- I'm a crocheter aspiring to be a knitter
Haha! I'm so glad someone else understands!!! 😂😂😂
@@EliseRoseCrochet Especially after quarantine and online class, that lack of verbal communication has taken it's toll.
@@841-zainabshanafarook7 Yes!!
LOL...had fun taking this quiz. I learned knitting first, then crochet. I have used pencils as knitting needles and my own fingers as crochet hooks. Got more C answers than anything. I went both ways instead of either way. I know I'm on the right path :)
Wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶
I started learning both. I'm finding knitting easier, but once I wanna move on to making amigurumi, crocheting seems easier!
I found it easier, but that's because I was more comfortable crocheting than knitting. You may want to check out the Little Cotton Rabbits patterns as well or Susan B Anderson if you are comfortable with double point needles. She has lots of adorable designs as well. ❤️❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet thank you!! I'll check those out!
😊
Literally the exact same! I feel like I’m a decently experienced knitter, and I’ve tried to learn crochet a few times and I just can’t get my mind wrapped around it I think because I learned knitting first, but I want to learn to crochet because there are way more amigurumi patterns for crochet than knitting.
@@k.embersI learned knitting first and I don't have problem with crochet. For clothes I prefer knitted, for accessories I prefer crochet
I always wanted to crochet. My hobbies are more on the "art" side than the "craft" side. I have tried water colour, pencil graphite, ink, digital art.
Now more than ever I am interested in the "craft" side. My dad is a construction worker who also build dog houses and bird houses. My mother, aunt, grandmother, and more crochet. My mother tried to teach me young but eventually we stopped.
I want sculpt, wood carve, and crochet. I am going to begin with crochet and can't wait with this new hobby.
That's wonderful! Sounds like you've got a lot of inspiration with your family members!! Have fun!! 🧶🧶🧶
I tried knitting first years ago and it just didn't take off for me.. I couldn't get the hang of it.. so I picked up a hook and started to learn how to crochet by watching videos and reading and it just clicked so I've never gone back to knit. I love to crochet and recently got into amigurumi and i love it!
Crochet clicked for me as well. It took me a lot longer to get the hang of knitting and I still have more trouble with it than crochet. Amigurumi is the best!! 🍄
I learned crochet first making doilies! Then learned knitting later. Knitted seems to be easier on my “old” right thumb but just love to make stuffies. It’s nice to switch back & forth.
Thanks for sharing! 💙
I've been a long time cloth doll maker AND I'm a knitter that has never made one knitted doll, however I've always wanted to learn crochet! So, during the pandemic lockdown, I just got myself on UA-cam and learned to crochet......this road has led me to amigurumi and Granny Squares. I am working on my very first amigurumi project right now. With that said, I want to let Elise know that I am so excited to find her channel! You have taught me so much about this craft already. It appears that we have the same interests and I very much enjoy all of your videos and tutorials. I want to say thank you for making my journey a fun ride and sharing all of your knowledge and experiences in this field. I look forward to learning all I can.
Awww! Thank you so very much! I'm so glad others enjoy the channel! And I would love to learn how to sew dolls! Have you seen the ones from @katylivings on Instagram?? I love them so much and would love to learn! 🍄🍄🍄
this video helps me a whole lot. learning new things is really difficult for me, as i immediately feel terrible for failing and then i instantly give up. i've been wanting to learn a new skill recently and i think something that relates to art and physically making something is something i need right now. i think i might be looking more into crocheting now. your encouragement and this video as a whole is the push i didnt know i needed!! thank you so much :3 im so excited to get into this
I was exactly like you are, I would start something and if I wasn't immediately good at it, I would quit. I've learned through crocheting and knitting that it's a process. Once I didn't give myself the option of quitting, I kept working through the difficulties and I am still learning new things to this day!!! I hope you have the same experience to enjoy making with your own two hands!! You got this!! 🧶🙌👏
I wasn't interested in knitting at all because I don't like how the needles looked but I learned it by accident and fell hard. I ordered a set of tunisian crochet hooks but received a set of knitting needles instead. I was so mad when I opened the package at first and printed a return label immediately. Then I checked the price of the needles and it was actually 30% more expensive than my actual order and thought I got it at a bargain so I decided to give it a shot. After watching tutorials and doing them myself, I have never looked back. I love knitting now as much as crocheting and would do them alternately after work.
That's wonderful! What a happy accident! I love being able to switch back and forth too! 💗
My mom knit a lot. She had all the crochet stuff, but never really used them. I taught myself crochet, and really started exploring patterns when I started college.
That's wonderful!! 🧶🧶🧶
I absolutely love Knitting, Crochet and Tunisian ! They fit all my moods and make me equally happy and proud of knowing how to do it all !
That's wonderful! I haven't learned Tunisian crochet....yet. I'm always tempted when I see the projects from Toni from TL Yarncrafts! 💓
I was so fortunate to inherit all my mother's and my oldest sister's crochet hooks and knitting needles, so I have both. For me it was all about not being that detail oriented and wanting to have fun with it! I don't have that much patience, so crochet it is 😄
How wonderful to inherit those hooks! It's so great when your temperament and craft match! 💗💗💗
I picked up 4 knitting 😮looms at a flea market for 89 cents. Figured if I never learned to use them, I am only out 89 cents. Learned how to make hats and other items. Enjoy my loom now.
That's an amazing find!! 🧶🧶🧶
I always recommend starting with what interests you the most. I was reading Anna Karenina in high school and I became obsessed with DPNs after reading a scene about them. They seemed almost magic. I taught myself knitting and was using the DPN’s within 3 months. I now even teach others.
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I love knitting toys. I started to do amigurumi for many years, but I now I have learned to knit toys and I can't stop doing it. Your videos helped me a lot. Thank you so much for share your amazing talents.
Knitting toys really is addictive! I'm so glad my videos have helped! I love sharing about it!
I do both. And from my experience, if it's for things like clothes, blankets, etc, Knit tends to be more flexible, while Crochet tends to be more stiff/supported.
For craft projects, crochet tends to be more freeform since it's easier to work in a 3d space while knittinf tends to require more fuss.
I suggest to try both and see what you'll love
I like knitting more since I tend to focus more on cardigans and sweater, and I preffer the way Knit drapes compared to crochet for those types of projects
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I learned to knit when I was 7 but during covid lock down I taught myself to crochet and am loving amigurumi projects. Love your YT channel.
Amigurumi is so much fun! And I'm so glad you like the channel! ❤️
Hello 👋.I got 5 A .and 5 B..I have been crocheting at 9 years old .learning to knitting. Love to make toys for grand children. And family.
Awww! That's wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos are such a delight. I must learn to knit!!! 💕
Awww! Thank you so much! Knitting is amazing, but so is crochet! I love them both! 😘😘😘
LePetitSaint Crochet 🧶 ❤️
Lol! I had more C. I do both knit and crochet. I started out with crocheting granny blankets and then wanted to learn how to do socks and shawls and liked the look of the knit ones. This was almost 20 years ago, so crochet patterns were different then. Now I make all types of items in both. I prefer the quickness of crochet with blankets but love the look of wearables with knitting. Great quiz!!
I do too! I love them both so much! I also like how quick crochet is and the drape of knitted clothing! Glad you enjoyed the quiz!! 🧶🧶🧶
With 6 A's, 3 B's, and 1 C, I am Team Knit all the way, but I knew that already. Having said that, I am enjoying the challenge of making some amigurumi. Thanks for your very helpful content!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Crocheting has helped me immensely. I took your quiz and am a crocheter. Ty so much.
You're so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
Ive been wanting to knit something again but all patterns for what I want to make are crochet. I did this quiz and it’s a definite crochet!! I clearly need to learn to crochet.
Well there you go!!! If you already know how to knit, you will find crochet much easier!! 🧶🧶🧶
I've been crocheting for about 3 years and only a couple of months ago I learned to knit. I was still very intimidated, even once I had mastered purling and the knit stitch. I thought I could never knit anything 'fancy', but you give me motivation.
It took quite a while for knitting to click with me, but now I feel very comfortable with it! Good luck to you! 💖
Just found and did u quiz for fun and it's true I love crochet !!!!! Can do very basic knitting, but the needles hurt my fingers and I am always to tight on my tension. So knitting holds no joy, thus no interest for me. But Crochet OMG make me feel joy and happiness and calm !!!!!!! Doing something u love is wonderful !!!!! Great video.💗🙏🧶🧶🧶
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I loved this, what a fun video. Thank you. I have always loved knitting, but now I am really interested in amigurumi and granny squares. Both crafts have their benefits. I honestly love fiber arts in general, I have dabbled in quilting, I love fabric and yarn! I would say to those wanting to try either knitting or crochet, focus on what you want to turn yarn into. Amigurumi and pillows? Yup, crochet all the way. Hat's and sweaters? Totally knit! Whatever you choose, stick with it, and don't give up, they are great skills to have. Most of all... have FUN!
Such great information!! Thank you for sharing! 💜
I mostly knitted by hand and machine but l now crochet too and love it. Taught myself after trial and tribulations 🤣🤣.
That's wonderful!! 👏👏👏
Omg I am so excited to make some crochet baskets!!
Crochet baskets are the best! Thanks so much, Meg!
I looove making projects with granny squares. I love that it gives you the tiny reward feeling every time you finished one, it's easier to think 'I'll just make one square' when you have a moment then you make just one row of a huge blanket. And it's calming to me to make repeated squares, but you can still have a fancy looking cardigan. And it's (until joining them together) easy to carry around and handle an individual square. The only downside (to me) is So. Many. Loose. Threads. to sew in.
Yeah, I did this quiz even though I already have been crocheting for a few years, and based on my answers, I made the right decision 😊. Though I'm still interested in learning knitting in the future, this video helped me put more in perspective what the differences are and what I will be getting myself into then.
That's great!! And I agree, granny squares are amazing!!!! Sounds like you made the right choice for you! 🧶🧶🧶
I wanted a good video which gives good perspective from both the ends because I wanted to start crocheting or knitting but wasn't aware it is so different, thankyou for the lovely informative video hon❤❤
You're so very welcome!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for making this video. It gives a lot of good information & gives good perspective. I was looking about a year ago to learn one of these crafts, but my most important feature was something that would be relaxing & would help me with my stress levels. I wasn't especially drawn to either knitting or crocheting, but I did have some crochet hooks. I am a detail oriented person who likes to problem solve, but, again, I was looking for something more relaxing. I went with crocheting because knitting looked so much more complicated & was intimidating. I've been crocheting for about a year now & have never made a granny square, a dishcloth or pillow, but am interested in garments/wearable items. I'm not currently interested in making amigurumi, but it's something that I might consider in the future. I am interested in more intricate color patterns which has recently introduced me to mosaic crochet. I'm not opposed to hand spun or hand dyed yarn, but it's beyond my budget. I don't get the cheapest yarns, but I do search for good deals & check various UA-cam channels for reviews & recommendations on various yarns to find out what they're really like before purchasing. So far, I've mostly made hats, scarves, shawls & started a couple of blankets/throws.
That's wonderful that you've found something to help with stress!! Crocheting is a life saver for me! Sounds like you have made a lot of gorgeous projects! 🧶🧶🧶
You have inspired me to learn to do Colorwork/Stranded Knitting! Your work is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I have knitted a blanket and a couple of dishcloths and small items but I have leaned more toward crochet in the last year. Knitting is just so appealing to me, I want to delve in and learn this technique. Those color isle sweaters are just dreamy. Glad I recently discovered you, you clearly have a flair for style and good taste.
Thank you so very much! Enjoy your stitching journey! There's so many beautiful things to learn how to do! 🍄
I would love to make something again. I only crocheted a little a long time ago. Stars are my favorite for Christmas ornaments. Using only natural fibers would only be my choice. Hope you received the survey I took on your blog. Commented there too. ❤️
Thanks so much, Jersey! Stars for Christmas would be perfect! 🌟🌟🌟
I knit, but 2021 is the year of (crocheted) amigurumi for me! I can't wait!
So excited for you!! It's so much fun to learn something new!!! 💓💓💓
i first tried knitting and made a big rectangle. after that i did the same with crochet. although it took me probably twice as long to get the hang of crochet (i found it extremely confusing how to tell stitches apart and where to put the hook), but once i did understand it, my first crochet rectangle looked sooooo much better when it was done than my first knit rectangle which was full of holes and very lopsided. so i chose crochet lol.
I think that's a fantastic way to figure out which one is best for you! 🧶🧶
Love knitting but was kind of frustrated with it. Now that I took your quiz and how you described crocheting and why I would like it . . . I was like . . . omg, that's me :D
Oh good!! Crochet is very forgiving and quick compared to knitting!! 🧶🧶🧶
Home use! Crochet! This is so helpful because i am the WORST at knitting and my fave things are dish clothes and granny squares! So helpful! ❤️
I'm so glad, Katie! I really believe that when someone finds the craft that matches their interests, it's a match made in heaven! 😘😘😘
I love your channel. I'm a crazy sock knitter, and love to knit and watch your shows. Keep being great!😊
Awww! Thank you so much!! It's my goal to learn how to knit socks!!! Looks like so much fun!! 💖
This lavender purple color is def your color! Looks great on ya!
Thank you so much! 💜
Thanks for this video! I learned to knit years ago and just recently picked it back up to join the Yarn Ladies at the church I pastor. Your video really helped to cement I was on the right track in knitting as I'm a pure A!
That's wonderful! So glad you have a group of yarn enthusiasts at your church! 💖
Yeah I’m learning both at the same time. I’ve knitted first for a couple weeks. Just started this week with crotchet. I’m learning I enjoy knitting more. But it’s also easier in my hands and don’t cramp up as much as crochet. I practice crotchet for about an hour daily or until my hands can’t cramp up. But will knit for a few hours just cause I enjoy it just a bit more. ❤ I save my $ for the high quality stuff, but that’s me. “You pay for what you get” saying goes a long way. I feel like knitting is much more precision and cleaner look. Plus knitting is more challenging and I like that! ❤ Also, she didn’t mention it, but if you’re just not getting crocheting or knitting you can also get into looming. It’s much easier and you create many things. You won’t be able to make toys but can make scarves, hats, socks, blankets, gloves, all the usual stuff. But like she said, you have to keep working at it. PRACTICE! ❤
Thanks so much for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for your help! I bought an amigurumi kit on a super sale and it has directions for both knit and crochet. I've never done either and didn't know which one to choose. I'll definitely be trying it out with the crochet directions after watching this.
I'm so glad it was helpful!! Good luck!! 💖
This was so helpful for me. I have been thinking about learning one or the other for years and could never decide which is better for me. Taking your quiz made the decision clear for me. Thank you. I look forward to what I can learn from you in the future.
That's wonderful!! And I love your Tennessee profile photo! My husband and I both went to UT!! 🍊🍊🍊
I agree - crocheting toys is much easier than knitting them. Those fair isle designs are definitely pushing me toward picking up my knitting needles!!!
It is much easier and there are so many crocheted toys patterns! And I can't seem to put down my knitting needles lately! 🧶🧶🧶
Elise, be joyful in what you are doing NOW! Your knitted babies are so cute!
Thank you!
Im 65 and trying both crochet and knitting. Im not a natural to either one. But I will persist, and when I finally make something beautiful for my new grandson, Im going to embroider/ cross stitch lil bunnies and lil ducks along one or more edges . Pray for me,please lol
This totally helped me! I wanted to learn how to make stuffed animals but had no idea which to start with, thank you so much!!
I'm so glad it helped! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks so much for your videos, I love crocheting and I find your tutorials very encouraging!
Thank you so very much! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for explaining things and helping me make the right decision, it helped a lot.
You're so welcome! Happy Stitching! 💓
I haven't tried knitting a toy yet. Will have to try.
Good luck! It's a wonderful hobby!! 💓
Well I would Identify myself more as a crocheter. Perhaps I doing something called Named needlebinding. (If you ever where on the medieval market. You probebly saw that style.)
All you need es a binding needle and a ball of wool. And then you can start to creat some Fabrics.
So here is my experience with it.
1. You can cut needlebinded fabric everywhere (unless you do the tarim stitch.)
2. Just because it's a similar garment making style like knittig or grocheting you are free to decide the size free. And your not binded to any frame that you can't carry.
3. You can't wrap knitting garments around in order to check if it is the right size. Wich is a point for crocheting and needlebinding.
A minus point is for the amount of time. You have to spend to find the needle.
Another one for the fact, that you need more time. To make the garment. (Cuz it's yarn through loop instead of loop through loop.)
And another one for the amount of patterns you can't creat with it. (Well it has different stithes. Which are named by the region they where found in.)
Oh did I mention that needlebinded garment tends to twist?
Perhaps I do all three of them.
Wow!! I've never heard of needlebinding before!! Thank you so much for sharing about it! Sounds fascinating!! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet well. Sadly needle binding as is a dying out art form. But luckily there are plenty tutorials here on UA-cam. Most of them are in swedish cuz there it is more common. But a few history nerds made some tutorials about the stitches. (Mostly Oslo and york stitch.) I have to say, that you have to watch most of the Videos often. Cuz some videos are too bright some to dark. And others coloured there nail in the colour of the Yarn. Normaly you need that type of yarn, that you can tear apart. And you should be able to reattach the Yarn just by rolling it into your hands. (Well I personaly just make simple knots cuz this is more stable.) My first project was a glove. (For some reason it became standing cone with something attached to it.) So I have to say. Needle binding does not forgiv. If you make an mistake you'll have a hard tim undoing it. But combining it with seaming and cutting. It's actually kinda simple.
My second project a finger globe worked actually very well. They are soft and even. (Well two fingers are a bit to long. But that's ok.)
My next project is a shirt. (I need to know where exactly I should atach the sleeves to the neck. I don't want the shirt to be uneven.)
my problem is i prefer knitting, the way it looks and the way it feels to do, but the kind of projects i like are way more geared to crochet. Fortunately I know how to do both.
That's great that you're able to do both! ❤️
I just love to do both! I could never do anything with this quiz, as I need "D" both! I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for making such enjoyable and informative videos!
Haha!! That's wonderful!! I love being able to do both too!! 🧶🧶🧶
I crochet and knit. I won't tell people one is easier than the other because it really depends on the project itself. Which I choose to do depends on what I want to make, so there really is no "one or the other" for me.
I love crocheting and knitting as well. Personally knitting is much more difficult for me for some reason, it could be that correcting mistakes takes more effort and knowledge than with crocheting. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I am self taught for both crochet and knitting. I actually started out doing tapestries; taking up to a year to complete a large project with several different stitches. But I couldn't do that and watch TV so I took up knitting, so I could knit and not take my eyes off the show I was watching. I am a person who needs busy hands and everyone I knew wanted sweaters for winter. I was brought up to believe crochet clothes and item were tacky, yet I decided to go look for new doll patterns recently since I had worn out my Jean Greenhowe doll pattern books and I was astonished. The dolls that were crocheted on sites like Etsy were absolutely amazing and beautiful. So now I crochet.
Oh my goodness! I bet your tapestries are incredible!! I don't blame you for wanting projects that allow you to watch TV too! And the crocheted toys really are incredible these days. There are so many gorgeous designs and the creativity of the designers always blows my mind!! 🍁🐿🍂🍄🎃
@@EliseRoseCrochet I wish I was half as creative as designers like Irina Kostina. My youngest daughter Avalon passed away last year and I do wish I was creative enough to invent a doll in her honour. =(
@@saharaantarctica2525 I'm so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. Wish I could give you a hug. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
I learned both decades ago. I like both. I have way too many tools in both. Right now I just want to make small projects. I will will do the technique that is best for each project. Right now I am wanting to make dolls for my granddaughter. So I am drawn to crochet dolls that have knitted wardrobes. 😁
I love being able to do both as well! I also love crochet toys with knitted clothing! Those are the kind of patterns I publish! ❤
@@EliseRoseCrochet I know, giggles. I am th old woman working on your beginners bunny. I am about to start the legs. I have been working on my c'mas cross stitch ornaments project. I have the first one of those 3/4 done. Instead of finishing as ornaments I will make them into a quilted table center. Yes I have mainly quilted for decades. But with fighting this cancer I can't sit at my sewing machine for more than a few minutes. I slowly work on handwork. We have chatted a little. I very much enjoy your channel.
@@Anne5440_ Bless your heart. I'm so sorry you're going through such a difficult time. Your projects sound amazing!
@@EliseRoseCrochet I am working on getting stronger. I don't get projects done as fast as I would like. I am trying to spend less screen time.
I'm usually into music and learning instruments, but I haven't found much joy in that lately. Thank you for this video, I was gutted between the two to try something new and hopefully restore some happiness. I think I'm going to start with crochet 😁 I've also thought about cross stitch, but I think I'm gonna get a little kit to try that out too. Thanks again for this video!
It's always good to find new things to get those creative juices flowing again. I hope you enjoy crocheting! I'm a big fan of cross stitch as well! Happy Stitching! 💓
I love crocheting Amigurumi and I've recently started practicing knitting again and I've learned to do rib stitch, fisherman's rib stitch and even learned how to knit the cable stitch!! I believe I find knitting more interesting especially when I knit items that feel soft, cozy and squishy!! But yes, I definitely hate frogging projects but I work through it lol!!❤️🥰🙏🏼
That's wonderful! I love being able to switch back and forth between crocheting and knitting too! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet I absolutely LOVE your Amigurumi btw Elise!! I wish I knew about your channel years ago but happy I follow you now, I truly appreciate you and your information is SO valuable for us crafters!! I can't wait to get more of your tips for Amigurumi and Fair Isle knitting!!❤️🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love crocheting with big chunky yarn. It's a fun and very satisfying process because it's pretty quick and it kinda fits my aesthetic. :D
That's awesome!! I've seen a lot of cute toys made with chunky yarn on TikTok! 🧶🧶🧶
This video was very helpful! Thank you! I'm going to start with crocheting.
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
I have watched a few of your videos & I subscribed today. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to learn to crochet. I finally learned about ten years ago after I retired. Thanks to watching UA-cam, I was able to learn. I took your quiz. Crochet is definitely the thing I love. It had also helped with my depression. I look forward to it every day.
That's wonderful!! Crocheting is such a fantastic hobby and it is so good for us on many different ways! 🧶🧶🧶
love that quiz you clever thing 😍 now you know there's not a quiz on the planet that can help me decide what my craft is lol but... you'll be proud to know I've finished my 2nd bird yay.. maybe amigurumi isn't so bad after all 🤣 I've been eyeing up that Pica Pau book for a while, maybe nows the time to pick up a copy 😮🤣😘
How exciting! I'm serious, if you can make those little birds then you can make the Pica Pau animals!!! 💙💙💙
@@EliseRoseCrochet Ooooo I think I'm seriously wavering 😯🤣🤣🤣
Dooooooo it!!!! 👹👹👹
@@EliseRoseCrochet I've done it 🙊🙈🤣🤣 you little minx 🤣🤣
I love the b-rolls and the video editing. Thanks for the tips! ☺️
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️
That's what Target is for......I almost choked on my toast. Thanks for the laugh.
🤣🤣🤣
Just started crocheting, so glad I found your channel. I adore knitted work, but I don't think I have the patience for it, at least to start. Definitely will be checking out the granny square video ❤
Welcome! I'm so glad you are beginning your new obsession... I mean hobby, lol! Granny squares are so much fun to crochet!! Happy Stitching! ❤
I learned to knit in school as part of winter clubs. All I could do since then was knit scarves. Recently my sister's got into crochet and they are having an easy time making all sorts of things, so I'm trying to decide if I should get into crochet if I'll have more success
That's wonderful that you already know the basics of knitting!! I have found crocheting to be much easier!! I think it really depends on what you want to make! Good luck!! 🧶🧶🧶
looks like I'm going to give crochet a try. thank you for the video.
You're so welcome! Hope you love you Le new craft!!🧶🧶🧶
Oh my gosh , your products are the cutest in the whole world 🥺❤️❤️❤️🐻
Awww! Thank you so very much!! 💜💜💜
It's my pleasure to learn from you ☺️🤗
Just discovered your wonderful podcast today thanks to ButtonJar Studios-and so happy I did! I saw a photo of the little cotton rabbits elephant which I just ordered yarn to knit for my first grand baby on the way❤️then teaching myself crochet and your tutorials are so clear-can’t wait to try a granny square! So uplifting-excited to catch up on all you make!🌺🧶❤️
Thank you so very much! Julie is just the best!! Congratulations on the new grand baby!! The Little Cotton Rabbit elephant is so adorable!! So glad you like the channel!! 😘😘😘🐘🐘🐘
Learned crochet at school when I was around 11, then forgot. I had only taught to make simple stuff like doilies and small bags. I did enjoy it but I guess in my mind it was something for a school project so I didn't think of it after I stopped having crochet classes.
Tried knitting maybe 7 years ago. Could only make basic shapes, but then forgot.
Now I'm back to crochet and really enjoying it. I am thinking about knitting again but I do briefly remember my knitting projects always had something wrong with them, and compared to crochet it didn't seem it could be easily fixed. Since I'm only doing amigurumi for now I don't see a reason to go back to knitting, but who knows?
That makes sense. Knitting is definitely more difficult when it comes to fixing mistakes. And I didn't start knitting until I felt really comfortable with my crochet skills and wanted to do new projects. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I do both. I learned how to crochet first and then taught myself how to knit
I love being able to switch back and forth! 🧶
A very thorough explanation, thanks for this intro and the resources.
You're so very welcome! Hope you find the right craft for you! 💓
LOVE your videos ❤️. So happy I ran into your channel 😍!! I'm a knitter and crocheter. I have been binge watching your channel all weekend!!
Awww! Thank you so very much!! I really appreciate that!! ❤️❤️❤️
What are your feelings about swatching yarn before making a project? I was never one to do that. I would just dive in without checking my gauge and then wonder why it didn’t come out right.🙄 I have found, especially when using yarn that is different from what the creator recommended, it is important to find the correct needle size to get the result you want. Always learning the hard way.😂
Absolutely!! For garments I think not doing a gauge swatch is a big risk! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I crochet... Trying to learn to knit
That's wonderful! 💞
I currently crochet but I would really like to learn to knit, it looks so much prettier. I’ve tried knitting a few times but I just haven’t been able to get it.
It took a while for knitting to click in my head! It still is a more difficult skill for me than crocheting but I absolutely love being able to do both! 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet so many crochet projects in queue but maybe one day I will be able to really try knitting. I know I will love it!
I learned to knit when I was 10 from my mom. I learned crochet from a friend at 17. I do both but my one true love is Tunisan Crochet! Just kidding. it's Knitting. But I do know that one too.
I prefer to crochet blankets. My arthritis in my hands is getting worse as I age and it's even hard to use the H hook.
Haha!! Tunisian crochet is something I haven't tried yet!! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm sorry about your arthritis! 🧶🧶🧶
I picked crocheting
Wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶
this is EXACTLY the video i was looking for ♥️ you really helped me figure it out
I'm so very glad it helped!! 💓🌻🍄
I love the Hearts on the knit needles ❤❤ !
Aren't those adorable?? ❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet where did you get them ? 💗🥰✨
This video is very helpful for me! Thanks for posting this, and also the quiz.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Sandra Paul(Cherr Heart) recommend you , She is right And lovely podcast I love it Thank you have a lovely Sunday Ramya.
Thank you so very much! That was so nice of Sandra to mention my little channel! Welcome! So glad you're here! 🍒🍒🍒
Very good videos.. I don’t know anything about either the test was 5 C’s and 3 B’s... the one and only person I know that can knit and crochet I should start with knitting because cheaper.. I have no equipment I don’t even know how to pick yarn... still on the fence.. looking for a easy and relaxing have enough issues in life..
Thank you so very much! In my opinion, if you're looking for something easy and relaxing, I would start with crochet. I think they cost about the same and crocheting is generally thought to be a little simpler than knitting. Check out the Bhooked UA-cam channel to learn the basics of crochet and then TLYarn Crafts UA-cam channel for simple beginner projects and tips. These are both fantastic channels with very high quality tutorials and patterns! Happy Stitching!
This video is perfect. Thank you so much for all the information!
You're so very welcome!! 🧶🧶🧶
I made my decision,im gonna try crochet 🧶 cause i started thinking of this hobby mainly because i want to make toys and i hope i do well and that i like it
That's wonderful! I hope you enjoy crocheting as much as I do! Happy Stitching! 😊
@@EliseRoseCrochet 💜💜💜thanks for the vid it really helped
