Crafting Balance - Day 7 - KCBWDAY7

Today's topic is:

Crafting Balance 
Are you a knitter or a crocheter, or are you a bit of both? If you are monogamous in your yarn-based crafting, is it because you do not enjoy the other craft or have you simply never given yourself the push to learn it? Is it because the items that you best enjoy crafting are more suited to the needles or the hook? Do you plan on ever trying to take up and fully learn the other craft? If you are equally comfortable knitting as you are crocheting, how do you balance both crafts? Do you always have projects of each on the go, or do you go through periods of favouring one over the other? How did you come to learn and love your craft(s)?
 Honestly I don't really have a complete answer for this.  I crochet and knit, but I only learned how to knit a few months ago.  I have had two big crochet projects going lately that my followers will know in an instant.

My ripple:


And my Little Square Baby Blanket, which I'm going to show you the most up to date photo I have from yesterday (I was really busy on this yesterday).  It is even farther along than when you saw it on Friday.


Once these two crochet projects are done, I imagine that I will be fairly equal with my crocheting and knitting.  I think it will be whatever project calls to me next.  There are quite a few knit projects that I have lined up.  I think I'd have one of each going at the same time.

That is my best guess.  How are you if you can do both?

Again, if you want to see other posts on this topic, simply google KCBWDAY7.  It has been a lot of fun participating.

  1. I do both and love both.. but I love the versatility of crocheting more. Knitting seems more of a brain strain for me. I also am not fond of having to fix a mistake in knitting which is infinitely more difficult than in crochet. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  2. I love how your baby blanket is looking! And if only I had just one knitting and one crocheting project going on at once. it would be a miracle! :)
