I've never tried knitting, but crocheting, at least the the kind that I do, is pretty easy; but then, for now I'm only using the most basic chain stitch, pretty much just straight lines back and forth :p I'll probably work my way up to something more complicated eventually, but for the time being this is sufficient for the scarf and blanket I'm working on.
I bought a book on ribbon embroidery, though I haven't attempted it yet. I don't know that it looks difficult so much as time consuming. You have to sew down every stitch you make with the ribbon with regular thread to make sure it stays where it's supposed to be...headache in the making! I'm going to try to include some in the Marie Antoinette piece I really should finish some time soon, so I'll probably post on the results once I get to that part.
