I learned crochet from my grandmother when I was 8 or so. It's handy for making stuff. I've lost track of the number of hats and scarves I've made over the years. I've tried to learn knitting, but I don't like it as well. You have to watch your fingers as you go, whereas I can crochet with my eyes shut if need be. My grandmother was almost totally blind when she taught me, so I learned to do it by feel, too. It doesn't matter if you skip a stitch in crochet, but everything will unravel with knitting if you do.
That's a cold weather hobby for me, though. There was no way I was going to sit under a wool blanket during summer time, so that project has been on hold. As fall temps appear, though, I'm starting to think about working on the blanket again.
