What do you like better? I think it's moot. I like both. Knitting produces a nice drapey fabric and is soothing to work on. Crochet is quicker and can easily be shaped all sort of ways. Many times I combine the two by knitting a piece and then edging it in crochet.
The other day I was perusing books in a yarn shop and I overheard the shop owner tell a customer "I loathe crochet. I call it crotch it cause it's so ugly.". When I went to check out she asked me "Do you knit or crochet?" I told her I do both but I prefer crochet. Her response :"Hmphf." I thought that was so odd of her to alienate half her customer base.
