Knitting or crocheting?
I'd like to pick up a craft, but I don't know which one to start with. If you craft, which one did you like better?
I have a little experience with knitting (from when I was a kid), but that probably won't matter much.
I want to pick up a craft as a creative outlet, not necessarily to make practical or wearable things only.
Classes or mentoring isn't an option. I'll be starting out with learning from books only.
With those points in mind, any suggestions? Well-considered responses will be greatly appreciated. =)

I'm new to both and I prefer knitting. Books are a great way to learn how to knit and I've also found websites with videos very helpful. I wanted to pass along a site I found that has basic videos that give great tips on <a href="[Link](Mouse over link to see full location);. I'm not sure if you're interested in how to knit videos, but I found these useful when I was just starting out.

I like crocheting because it was easier to learn than knitting. It's easy to make scarves too.
You don't really need books, just search online.
I've used these sites:

Youtube also has some stitch videos.
if you can get the slip knot, the chain and single crochet down.. you can make a scarf or a really long chain :P
here's an online community:

there's a lot of different crafts. there's also subforums.. with completed projects, questions, etc. so if you're interested in trying something new.. you'll have people to help you get started.

Knitting is my favorite stress reliever. I was able to learn solely from web sites. Here are a few you might be interested in:

They have pictures and everything, so it should be helpful.
