A million years ago, back when I first learned to crochet, I crocheted MANY blankets from a free pattern I found on some yarn company’s website.  And I crocheted almost all of them in acrylic yarn.  I of course can no longer remember the company name nor find the pattern, but that doesn’t really matter because I wrote up the instructions (in a clearer manner, if I do say so myself).

I both knit and crochet.  Both crafts use yarn.  Both produce cloth of some kind.  But beyond that, they are very different.
