You may have already done your own peek around the internet for these things, but the librarian in me can't help herself. That, and I've recently been looking into doing some myself in the name of stashbusting. Have fun!

Try doing the foundation chain with a larger hook (1 or even 2 sizes larger), that should help with the wonkiness at the beginning. I often do the same think when I knit a sock or hat just so it's not tight at the edge. Same priniciple. I agree that crochet and knitting have different strengths.

I enjoy knitting more...the process, the way it looks, the ease of creating things. I've just had more fun with it than I ever did with crochet.

I couldn't figure out why you had it! I've been playing around with hooks a little, too (my son gave me the Happy Hooker book for Christmas.) The things you make with crochet are definitely different than knit projects, Debbie Stoller says to keep in mind that they each have their own characteristics. I'm only finding the occassional throw or rastafarian tam to my liking so far... I have a friend who can't knit due to a degenerative neurological problem, but she can crochet, so I say, "Hook on!"

I admit it put me off at first. But I kept hearing good things about you in the blogsphere so I finally gave you a listen and I really enjoyed it. But I could not figure out why you had that tag. I've really enjoyed your podcasts...esp the most recent one with Stitchy! I’m glad you dropped the explicit tag. I admit it put me off at first.
