Knitting Crochet or Cross stitch

For several years i have cross stitched pictures, gifts etc then came Hokie Healing so i got out the crochet hook and gradually made some squares for the many blankets that Gina and the team at Mosaic yarn shop are putting together. Now having read much on the web about knitting and wool i decided to have a go at knitting something. Now the last time i did some knitting was approximately 15 years ago! I have decided to make a cardigan from a pattern on Knitty.com. with some yarn i have in my very small stash. I must during the summer holidays (20th July) find some yarn.
