Have you ever been reading a crochet article, blog, or pattern and wondered what WIP, SC, or DC meant? There are a lot of abbreviations and acronyms in the world of crochet. It can be a little confusing until you get used to the lingo. Here are is a list I have created over the years to help keep them all straight, until I started to get a little more fluent in the language of crochet.
What are some abbreviations or acronyms you use or have seen? What is your favorite of the list? Mine is "frog" That one had me stumped for quite some time. "Frog", the action of ripping a portion (or a whole project) apart...."rip it, rip it" (ribbit, ribbit). Get it? Ha! It's still funny to me!
