Over the weekend I asked in my stories a question Over the weekend I asked in my stories a question about books using US vs UK terms and was really surprised at the big (and sometimes emotional) responses I got! While many folks were clearly set on only using the US terms and others were willing to flip between the two sets of terms as needed, there were some that said they needed help because they just didn't know the difference. So I'm sharing this today as these terms are something every crocheter needs to know. Save this post so you can reference it later or tag a friend that could use this.Are you willing/able to switch between the two crochet terminologies or do you stick to what you know?#crocheter #crocheting #crochetterms #crochettips #crochetgeek #crochetstitches #igcrocheters #crochetcommunity #crochetclan #crochetcrew #crochet #instacrochet #crochetpatterns #crochetlove #learningcrochet #learntocrochet #yarnpunk #yarnspirations #wecrochet #humansthatyarn
