When Crochet Knit arrived, I opened the package and was impressed with the solid packaging which insured Crochet Knit didn’t arrive damaged in any way, shape, or form.
Overall, my experience was amazing. I hope this helps you make a solid buying decision.

you know what, instead of a book i would recommend http://www.knittinghelp.com because they have great videos to get you started (and to keep you going, for that matter). For materials, I would recommend the cheapest yarn you can find at Walmart, which is Red Heart Super Saver. Get it in worsted weight (the one with a big 4 on the back), most of it is, so it shouldn’t be hard to find. For needles I recommend a size 10 or 10 1/2, its a good size for learning. See if you can find ones that are made out of bamboo, I don’t think its good to start out with aluminum since they are slippery and heavy, I don’t think Walmart has bamboo, so you might have to settle for plastic. You can find bamboo needles and all of these materials at craft strores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabrics, and A.C. Moore. Good luck! I hope to see you on knittinghelp.com!

Women have much better manual dexterity that men, and thus men tend to not engage in physical activities that require fine motor coordination.Mechanics, carpentry require fine measurements (and the use of tools) that do not rely upon such careful control, while knitting and crochet rely on tools that require a fine touch.(Add to that the gender stereotypes promulgated by society when either gender engages in activities that are commonly associated with the other and you get put-downs of “dike” women and “sissy” men.)

This hat is made in crochet. It’s made using the double crochet stitch. You can go to this link:http://learntocrochet.lionbrand.com/ Then scroll down to the instructions on the double crochet (dc) stitch. Crochet is really very easy, the hardest part of learning to crochet is learning to hold the thread properly. Once you get the hang of holding the thread, you’ll be crocheting in no time.

The best suggestion I would make is do a search for ‘knit pattern doll clothes’ or ‘knit pattern toys’ (or substitute the word knit with crochet).You should get hundreds of results, so just start going through them. We can’t give you patterns as your question is too broad – what sort of yarn do you want, how long is the vest supposed to be etc.If you know your knitting tension for different size yarns, you should be able to figure out how many stitches you would need to cast on to make the sweater and then go from there – doll’s clothes etc don’t take long to do. However I would think that crochet would be easiest as you can easily check the width against your cast on chain and then proceed up using any variety of stitches across the rows until you get the length you need to the underarm, then just make straps across the shoulders and maybe a few extra rows across the back.Hope this helps. Good luck.

I don’t think anyone but the individual can tell you if it is easier to knit or crochet. I do both and teach both and everyone is different.I can knit a scarf in about an hour, but it takes longer for me to crochet one. I love crocheted scarves more than knit.There is a web site – http://www.lionbrandyarn.com. They have great beginner patterns and even have tips and lessons.Good luck.

I say learn them both! Crochet is probably a little easier – and you’ll use some of those same techniques (certain knit cast-ons will involve a foundation chain like crochet uses). I think whatever someone learns first usually seems easier to them. The advantage of crochet is you’re only addressing one stitch at a time – instead of a whole row on knitting needles. And you CAN TOO crochet socks!! I have made some really nice cozy socks – http://flickr.com/photos/seweccentric/2221806220/in/set-72157603798117601/Otherwise, it all comes down to what you want to make! Crochet is often better suited to blankets and hats – it goes quickly. Knitting is often better suited for thinner garments (including “normal” socks) and drapey sweaters. Both make beautiful lace.

I think crochet is easier to learn. Crochet is fast to work up and it is pretty goof-proof (again, in my opinion). Knitting can be very intricate if you want to do something like that. It really just depends on what you’re looking for. Also, if you master knitting, you can create far more different items and learn different types of styles. Crocheting is just one type of style and it looks the same after awhile.

There are many stores that sell in bulk, and they do mail order. One of the best was Curl Brothers in Ontario, but I think they were closing. You may be able to get some yarns, but not all that wanted. Check Webs, Annie’s attic, Elann, knitpicks, etc.

Selling on the internet is fine, but you have to get your products exposure first. You can try selling your items at a flea market, church bazaar or other venue, and make up some cards to hand out pointing out your website. Etsy is good, but they still charge to post photos. I’m enjoying my experience with Ecrater.com . It’s a totally free storefront! There’s no charge to post pictures(you can post up to 10 pix of each item), no charge when you make a sale(unless you sign up with PayPal, and they only charge 2% of the total). I have 2 stores there, one for my jewelry, and the other for collectibles I’m selling off. I’ve joined several Yahoo groups whose members might be interested in my crafts, and post my latest creations in each group about once a week. It’s nice to have a website when I do craft shows; I ask my customers to sign a guest book, and about once a month I’ll send them an e-mail pointing out new items.I’m totally not internet savvy, I don’t know html code or any of that stuff. But Ecrater is just point and click- simple!Good luck in your venture!
