I tried. I ventured out and tried my hand at crochet and the verdict is in. I do not like it.
Knitting is so much cooler and more natural for me. I'm almost done with another Christmas present that I just started yesterday. I love using both hands with the needles versus one hand with a hook.
Aaahh, just so much more bang for your buck.
