I keep hearing how much easier it is! And all I can knit are hats. My scarves just...I dunno, i get bored and give up, lol. </p> <p>I made a biscuit quilt for the baby most recently. I'm working on a hanging quilt, too, but it's coming along much more slowly. I was sick the weekend I made this, so it came together quickly! </p> [attach=618/13/mis21x.600x528.quilt.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590927 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:16:57 +0000 Sweet T 590927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sew a little. I have a sewing machine but I never have the time to use it anymore. It needs some attention. I really want to learn how to knit.</p> <p>@GreenThumb: That is so gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590926 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:14:48 +0000 loveisstrange 590926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sew and am a beginner at crochet.

Looks like an heirloom piece to be saved and passed down.</p> <p>I used to knit but it made my hands hurt. I love sewing and can't wait to get my craft room set up soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590915 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:39:10 +0000 immabeetoo 590915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: those are so cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590911 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:35:39 +0000 tequiero21 590911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used a sewing machine and can use it on a straight line lol.... I've learned crocheting but forgot it all.... Might try to pick up again in the future. I'm a beginner to intermediate knitter.... I made an ugly elephant, but I can do a good scarf, blanket, etc lol. Made some booties and hates but would love to knit a dress for my girl.</p> <p>@sandy: @GreenThumb: absolutely love your work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590890 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 02:08:09 +0000 alayaya 590890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sew, but not terribly often. I'm making a baby quilt for when I finally get pregnant.</p> <p>I recently taught myself how to knit but so far all I've made is a square.... lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590873 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:10:18 +0000 shopaholic 590873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: That is SO PRETTY!</p> <p>@sandy: Adorable! I want to learn how to do these someday!</p> <p>@bluestriped bee:<br /> - I can sew, but it's quite hideous because I'm impatient.<br /> - I can knit anything in a block shape! hahah! I've done some non-scarf projects, but again, not that patient to stick with it well.<br /> - I want to learn to crochet because it does seem easier and faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590847 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:23:27 +0000 mrskc 590847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know how to sew. I have a sewing machine and made some things for the nursery. I'm no expert tho. I would love to learn how to knit and crochet. </p> <p>@GreenThumb: that dress is beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590842 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:19:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 590842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knit, but I think I'm a horrible knitter. I just pulled out my stuff the other day and it was actually ok. I'm just horrible at counting to do things like seed stitch.</p> <p>I'm going to have to learn how to crochet because I really like the look of crocheted hats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590834 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:09:35 +0000 SweetMamaM 590834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knit and sew but I'm not very good - I don't learn skills well just following visually so I need to actually find people who can teach me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590818 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 23:35:48 +0000 dojo 590818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb &amp; @sandy - So cute! </p> <p>I do a little of all three - but I am mainly a knitter. I would love be better at sewing and with crochet I know how to do the basics but not much beyond that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590798 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 22:50:48 +0000 pastemoo 590798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such cute stuff! I do all 3 but very randomly. I find sewing to be more -- "I *need* this RIGHT NOW" so I sew it as soon as I think of it. I find crocheting very "fast" but I always have to think it through. I am least skilled at crochet.<br /> I am a very good but very VERY lazy knitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590738 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 22:07:27 +0000 anonysquire 590738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590658 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 21:29:35 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 590658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes and yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590571 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:28:34 +0000 LittleFox 590571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: I also find knitting easier.</p> <p>I knit and am learning to sew. I crochet a little but don't really enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590500 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:38:24 +0000 ALV91711 590500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know how to knit and do it once in a while. I mostly cross stitch though. I would like to learn to crochet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590495 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:34:46 +0000 anbanan15 590495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all three but prefer to sew or knit. I'm with @LemonLong: and think that while crochet is faster the patterns just don't look as nice, IMO. </p> <p>If your looking to start it's super easy to teach yourself with all the YouTube videos these days! Even if your a lefty (like me) there are videos that show how to crochet lefty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590492 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:31:43 +0000 Mrs D 590492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the opposite of most repliers so far - I find crocheting to be so much more difficult and frustrating than knitting! I have been knitting off and on for a few years - I usually make friends baby blankets for their new arrivals. My mom is making my LO a baby blanket so when we find out the gender I may have to try my hand at my first piece of clothing like that dress! Too cute @GreenThumb: - great job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590489 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:28:59 +0000 creativemomma15 590489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I crochet and can sew a little bit. I love crocheting and make a baby blanket for our friends when they have LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590466 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:15:22 +0000 photojane 590466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: @sandy: love, love! Y'all are awesome!</p> <p>I sew with a machine, but that's the easy option! I tried crocheting once and I was miserable at it. I couldn't even get past the first line... so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590461 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:09:45 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 590461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The dress and toys are so cute!!! I'm in awe. I've decided to start crocheting. So far I find it extremely frustrating, but I'm determined to learn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590382 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:33:24 +0000 Sammyfab 590382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: @sandy: I am so impressed with both of your creations!!</p> <p>I am generally a very crafty person but I've tried my hand at sewing and knitting with terrible results!! I would really love to have both of those skills mastered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590372 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:23:25 +0000 sandy 590372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I would love to learn how to sew! I would hate to buy a machine and never use it. I am not good at knitting but I like to crochet...it's much easier to fix your mistakes and goes so much faster than knitting...but not as pretty as knitting. I make little toys for LO...here are a few of them </p> <p>@GreenThumb: that is so beautiful! </p> [attach=429/13/miqwv2.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590364 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:17:55 +0000 GreenThumb 590364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Thanks! I actually work part-time in a yarn shop and totally encourage folks who want to learn to either take a class or do a lesson at your local shop. It is so relaxing! </p> <p>But, I also really like to sew, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-knit-or-crochet#post-590362 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:16:27 +0000 PurplePumps 590362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: That is adorable!!<br /> I can't do any of them (well), but want to learn. </p>
