Any other Crocheters, Knitters, or Yarnivores?

I've not done tapestry crochet, but I have done crochet cables or front-post and back-post. They're difficult! They were fun as a tiny accent to a design, but I wouldn't do a whole project with them again!

I must admit, it took me a while to get used to "frogging" as a term. (comes from rip it! rip it!) The one that still weirds me out is "Hoth" which means "hot off the hook." But, it's also the name of the snowy planet in Empire Strikes Back -- so my brain never thinks crochet when I see Hoth!

Regrettably, I am solely a crocheter, so I can't help at all with knitting. But I can offer moral support! I must say, it is really neat/fun to have a finished object that you can literally say you made yourself. So if you've the time, it's fun to start. Yes, you'll feel clumsy the first few projects -- but it will surprise you how quickly you do pick it up.

I totally understand. I have a few hobbies/pastimes I tend to cycle through. The current crochet cycle is 100% to blame on a friend at work. She was teaching herself to crochet and had questions -- I literally told her, "You're going to make me go digging in my closet for my yarn, aren't you?"

I've been crocheting since high school -- but I cannot knit. The few times I've tried, I get annoyed at the needles because they don't work as easily as crocheting works for me. ('cause of course it's the needles' fault.) Therefore, I really admire someone who can do both!
