Idle hands

A friend of mine is a few days away from ending a lifetime of smoking. YEAH! She has decided that to keep her hands busy she will either take up knitting or crocheting. I would like to help her but I’m not very creative and don’t recall how to knit or crochet. I would appreciate any input as to which one is more enjoyable, easier or information about how-to guides.

Thanks in advance and you ROCK Joanne!
