Menokreatikkul; Saturday Stitches


Been a bit slack on the stitches of late! Summer and all that. However, I haven't forgotten my threat, err, promise to share the story behind the difference between stitch names from UK to US. Here it is. I need to clean up my video skills, but let's just say it adds character... (hrrumph)

  5. I am lucky, and started my blanket crocheting journey with a lovely hooking queen from England. She, like you, was a wonderful crochet professor!

  6. My mother tried to teach me to knit & crochet, but I was a terrible student! 😹 I think I would have much more interested if I had instructions in your lovely voice❣️ Kit & Kitties

  7. That's a great explanation on how the two systems derived their names. I'm partial to crochet charts since the symbols tell you how to form the stitch (starting with US double) since the slash through the symbol tells you how many times to yarn over to begin the stitch. You don't even really need a key for the basic symbols.
