I would like to teach myself to knit or crochet but don't know which would be easier to start with. Also, what is the difference between the two? Thanks!

Many of my friends who do both tend to knit when they want to make garments - sweaters, tops etc... because there are a lot more trendy patterns for knitting. But for scarves and afghans and decorative items, crocheting is so much faster and I think allows for a bit more creativity.
I can't get the hang of crochet, but I'm a good knitter. I'm also a leftie, and I think that has something to do with me not being able to wrap my head around crocheting (I was trying to learn from my rightie MIL).
It is much easier to learn how to crochet when someone teaches you. I was taught how to this summer by a friend and when you see someone else do it, it is a whole lot easier than trying to learn from a book. I used to know how to knit when I was younger, and I don't remember finding it difficult. But, I don't remember how to do it now!
