Anyone knit or crochet?

I do a little of both, but I learned to knit first, and for me, that is easier. I think many say crochet is easier though.

There are so many online videos now as a resource, that it's really not that hard to teach yourself. I would start small, something like knitted or crocheted dishcloths, that's a quick project and useful.

A scarf seems like a good first project, but they're kind of boring and long!

I learnt to crochet first so I find that easier, I watched a ton of videos on Youtube to learn the basic stitches then made a Nicki Trench swishy scarf as my first big project. I've made several of them now, they work up really easily and are fun to make.
I'm currently knitting this www.churchmouseyarns.com/products/simple-sideways-triangle-scar [HASH].U_ub4mOyoso to try and improve my skills, I was seduced by the word simple

Hmmm, my link doesn't work, I'll try to fix it.

I can do both.  I prefer knitting to crocheting, just like the look better.  Knitting works up much more slowly than something that is crocheted. 

If I wanted to do an afghan i'd likely crochet it because it would work up quicker.  I don't necessarily think one is easier than the other, they're very different so i'd probably look at some online videos and see which appeals to you more.

I crochet. I find it easy. I did learn to knit when I was younger, but I can't remember anything!
Maybe I will check out some videos on knitting.

I knit. I have learned to crochet but don't like how it looks as much, and I find the motions of knitting more soothing. But I know most people who do both say crochet is faster (eg, you want to make a blanket, you'll be done a lot more quickly if you crochet).

I do both.
Crochet is faster thank knitting - takes less time to work up say a square of fabric 6 x 6 inches.
But I think knitting is far more versatile. 

However, it depends what you want to make.  Here's how I think it works out best (others's opinions may vary of course):
Toys- crochet
Afghans, blankets etc- knitting, but crochet if want it fast
scarves - knitting, but crochet if want it fast
shawls - knitting
hats, mittens etc - knitting, but some crochet is great
other clothing - sweaters etc:  knitting

I suggest you join Ravelry
It is the biggest knitting and crochet site in the world, and has a database of hundreds of thousands of patterns.  Many are free, or you can purchase many through Ravelry.  There are also message boards - lots and lots of them. All Ravelry members are automatically members or the "Big 6" boards, but you can join any of the others that interest you - some are to do with knitting and crochets, others not.  There's even a 2Peas board there

If you join Ravelry now, you will be able to have a look through patterns and see what tends to be made in knitting or crochet.

I taught myself to crochet and enjoy doing it. I have tried my darnedest to do knitting but I can not, for the life of me, get if down. Love the look. Want to do it and enjoy it. Can not knit.

Good luck with whatever you chose to take on.

I taught myself to knit last Spring. If you want a really easy to follow video on YouTube I recommend this one she goes nice and slow so you can follow along: link so you don't have to rewind a million times to see what the heck you are doing wrong. 

I do both.  I prefer the look of knitting, but crochet when I want to do something more quickly.  Also, I think crochet is much easier to repair a mistake.  You can just rip it back and pick up where you left off.  I find knitting more difficult to rip back and get it back on the needles correctly.

I think crochet is easier. For the most part you are just dealing with one stitch at a time vs knitting where you have an entire row of live stitches. Crochet is faster but I have trouble holding the needle more than with knitting. I also am a slow knitter as I throw it is a much slower version but again it hurts my hands to hold the yarn the other way.

I find knitting very meditative I don't remember feeling that way about crochet.

There are lots of on line tutorials now which are great. I agree that you should join revelry. Lots of good information on there.

I do both. Personally I find crocheting easier but then again I learned crochet first. I believe that whichever you learn first is generally easiest for you. It also depends on what kind of project do you like best. I prefer crochet for afghans and hats but prefer knitting for fingerless gloves and other garments.

I knit but only dish cloths. My grandmother taught me when I was about 8 so I had to watch some YouTube to refresh my memory.

I tought myself to knit by watching videos and I really enjoy it. I could never figure out how to crochet for some reason.
