I ordered the beginner knitting kit. I never tried before.I taught myself to crochet from a library book 20 years ago and I consider myself pretty good but still makes mistakes. I always rip it out when I find one because it has to be perfect and I am not like that with anything else. come see my messy house.I wanted to learn knitting because a lot of blankets look so beautiful.Is it hard to learn ?I like crocheting because its fast. which do you like better? one more question. does anyone have a good edging for a crocodile stitch baby blanket? Thank you Terry
