I've provided a pic of a magic ring/circle I've down about 100 times already. I feel it's too tight and that I'm not holding the hook/…

Knitting vs. Crocheting

Hi everyone, I'm curious to know - do you prefer knitting or crocheting? I love both, but I have to admit that I have a slight preference for crocheting.
