Need help with a knitting/crochet question?
Posted on October 26th, 2009 by admin
I want to knit or crochet a afghan for a friend of mine. Problem is, I don’t knit or crochet. My grandmother taught me a loooong time ago, but I’ve forgotten it all. I know they sell kits, but can’t seem to find any kits that give me everything I’ll need. I just want to knit or crochet a simple afghan. One color is fine, and just a simple pattern.
My questions
1- which is easier to learn to make the afghan, knitting or crocheting?
2- does anyone know a website that I can find a kit or something that will give me everything I need to make this?
Any help anyone can give me will be much appreciated. I’m moving out of the country in Jan or Feb of 2010, so I need to get started on this right away!
Thanks for any help anyone can give me =)
Crochet works up much more quickly than knitting, so I would go for that for an afghan.
Have you tried Ravelry? It’s a knitting and crochet community online that is free to join and it’s wonderful. Lots of groups, forums and free patterns galore.
To learn basic crochet stitches, try YouTube. You can’t beat someone showing you how to do it, and this is the next best thing if you don’t know anyone who can crochet. Do you live near a yarn store? It could me worth asking there and they might be able to put a kit together for you.
