Needles and hooks!

I've been in a bit of a dilemma of late with crocheting and knitting. I'm fairly average in both but I seem to be ignoring my needles more and more.
I haven't knitted in ages. I have tort my eldest to knit. Which is getting really good. She only purls instead of garter but she a lefty.

Probably the main reason I haven't knitted is finding a pattern I like. Most are to long or to fiddly. I did make a Charlie Bear for my youngest but it was ummm odd. As you can see. I have a habit of doing this.

Maybe I should just crochet :P
