Crocheted pieces of my Kalevala blanket demonstrate the endless possibilities of textures you can create with crocheting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n11. Types of Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can both knit and crochet many kinds of projects from socks to potholders and garments as well as toys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I prefer to knit my clothing because that way they tend to be more lightweight and pleasant to wear. Things such as toys (amigurumi), potholders, and handbags as well as stunning blankets I love to crochet. This is however my personal preference and as said before you can also crochet your clothing or knit toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12. Correcting mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some people say that correcting mistakes in a crocheting project is easier because it is very easy to undo without losing stitches. However, in knitting, if you drop a stitch for instance you can fix the mistake without having to undo everything. Just use a crochet hook to pick it up. This of course requires a little bit of practice so I would say that correcting mistakes in knitting is easier if you are an advanced knitter but for beginners correcting mistakes in crocheting is easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13. Can machines crochet or knit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are machines that can do the knitting for you but crocheting can only be done by hand (as far as I know). This is the main reason that commercially produced clothes are knitted not crocheted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
