Either way, it can be a very enjoyable craft to enjoy. If you are looking to make a few new friends, there are many crafting classes and groups available. If you look on the local MeetUp for your area you should be able to find many different knitting or crocheting groups to join.

Relieve Your Stress

Crocheting or knitting is a very meditative hobby so it can help you relieve stress by taking up either craft. The repetitive motions in both crochet and knitting can actually be very soothing so if you take an interest in doing either it can be a great way for you to relieve stress. Know that it is OK to progress as fast or slowly as you like. The most important part that you enjoy yourself. Knitting and crocheting are not meant to be done quickly. They are meant to be a soothing, relaxing, and productive hobby. 

They Can Be Inexpensive

Knitting and crochet don’t have to be an expensive hobby. There is such a wide array of tools and yarns to select from it is completely up to you how much you want to spend on this pursuit. You can start out on less expensive yarn as you are learning and graduate to a more expensive yarn once your skills improve. Or, you can stick with the inexpensive yarn and tools. It’s up to you. 

Make Handmade Gifts

Crochet and knitting can be a really productive hobby to learn yourself or to teach your children. You can make homemade gifts like scarves and mittens.
