I mean, I'm not fond of granny squares personally, but crochet has gone WAY beyond that - my Mom crochets and knits (although she's much better and faster at crochet) so I've seen some of the cool things that can be done.

Both of which you have said to me. :-) When I was just starting out, doing evan-scarves and mercy-scarves, you treated the crocheting as a dead end that was good only inasmuch as it brought me to learn more about knitting. So you may not necessarily look DOWN on crocheting (or back then you didn't) but the way it was treated as a stepping stone for the real yarn work was a little puzzling. :-) The reason crocheters feel looked-down on by knitters are statements like, “Oh, once you start knitting you’ll never look back,” and “a lot of knitters started out as crocheters.” Both of which you have said to me. :-) When I was just starting out, doing evan-scarves and mercy-scarves, you treated the crocheting as a dead end that was good only inasmuch as it brought me to learn more about knitting.
