To Knit or Crochet?

   When people find out I knit, they frequently ask, "Oh, do you crochet, too?" often adding, "It's easier, you know." Ha! Easier? Perhaps if you haven't been knitting for 35 years or more, it is, but for me? I tried to crochet an afghan recently. The edge was so uneven that I finally decided that it would be easier to rip it up and knit one than to try to fix it. Before I finished ripping it up, I got a picture:

   Nonetheless, when a customer asked me to make Bonita Patterns' Crocodile Boots for his sister, I couldn't resist the challenge. It was a challenge, but they turned out well:
