Tuesday’s Yarn Fact

Knitting has its own unique terminology. Knitters use specific terms to describe techniques, stitches, and tools, creating a language that differs from everyday conversation. For example, “frogging” refers to the act of unraveling your work (like a frog jumping backward), while “WIP” stands for “work in progress.” This specialized vocabulary not only fosters a sense of community among knitters but also makes it easier to share patterns and techniques across different cultures and languages. So, the next time you hear someone talk about “casting on” or “gauge,” you’ll know they’re speaking the language of knitters!
