Theresa, it is easier than knitting!  NO DROPPED STITCHES TO WORRY ABOUT!!  
)
I learned to crochet when I was five, been doing it ever since.  I learned
from my maternal grandmother.  My mom knits and I learned that from her when
I was 11.  Got frustrated by the dropped stitches and never have done 
ymore.
Later!,
