I love ro knot string and make sweaters and afghans.  Have you ever tried knitting?
No but I'd like to.
I do hand knitting using two straight needles to produce scarves or afghans by hand.
What's the difference between those?
Well, i stitch one side from right to left. Then i turn it over and purl it from right to left. Stitch one, purl 2. Get it?  
Cool, how long have you been doing it?
Since i was a little girl.  I am a man now, so it is embarrassing to do it in public.  Knitted fabris are so basic a clothing item, that some types of knitting have worked their way into the lexicon, such as yarn.
What is your favorite fabric to knit with?
Crochet
Crochet (; ) is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook. The name is derived from the French term "crochet", meaning 'small hook'. These are made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic and are manufactured commercially and produced in artisan workshops. The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before the next one is begun
Hand knitting
Hand knitting is a form of knitting, in which the knitted fabric is produced by hand using needles.
