That’s beautiful! I never learned how to knit, and I’ve never been very good at crochet. Something I still plan on working on…one of these days.
Crochet is ‘easier’ - one hook/one hand versus two needles/two hands with knitting. It’s easier to build speed crocheting as well, or at least that has been my experience.
You have the advantage of being able to watch Youtube for instruction - when I started, I was 12-13 years old and taught myself - no Youtube back in those days!
Start with something easy & small - lots of attractive washcloth patterns out there and I think they would be good starter projects, plus you’d end up with something useful as well! :-)
I’m not a knitter either. Reading a crochet pattern is enough of a challenge. At my age I’m happy with the hobbies I have!
