foreign terms

Did you know that books, leaflets, blogs and web sites from different places may be using different terminology than you are used to? It's true. If you are in the United States, like I am, you use a particular set of terms. If you are in, for example, the United Kingdom, the same terms may mean something different. 

Here is a chart to help you with at least a bit of it. Remember to check the origin of the pattern you're trying to decipher or you may end up with a project that looks nothing like you envision. (I know the picture is small, but if you click on it, it will enlarge.)

Happy crocheting!
