general questions
knitting involves using two needles to create loops of yarn that form fabric, while crochet uses a single hook to create loops and stitches.
this depends on the individual. some people find crochet easier because you only need to manage one tool (the hook), while others prefer knitting. both have a learning curve, but with practice, you can become proficient in either.
