My girlfriend does both, and it's definitely amazing how much faster crochet is! Like, "oh, here's a giant amigurumi dragon I whipped up in a week," or "here's a poncho made over the weekend for our vacation," with crochet, versus "I have to frog 4 weeks of work because I slipped a stitch and didn't notice." Granted, she's much better at crochet (by her admission), but knitting seems tough. Love the stuff you can make with it though.
Haha, yep that sounds about right! I do love being able to do both, some things you can do with knitting you just can't do in crochet especially if you need to create a nice drapey fabric. Being bistitchual is the best of both worlds!
