There were a few things in Epstein's Crocheting for Barbie book that looked intriguing that couldn't be done by knitting. So last year I taught myself to (gack!) crochet. Here is one example of Barbie's retro crochet couture. I am not a very good crochet-er. I throw the yarn/thread around the hook instead of picking it up (which I could stand to learn in knitting as well) and I pull the yarn up the hook so the stitches do not reflect the size of the tip of the hook, totally messing with gauge. Anyway, a couple of good results.
