Crochet terms in multiple languages

[Tiga]

I just downloaded a pattern for a really cool bag, but it was in German. I didn't think it would be a problem, as my brother speaks pretty fluent German.

 

HA! He did literal translations of the words and phrases, and let me tell you, no way am I making rods with my hooking stick, lol!

 

So, I googled around and found this very handy page I think we can all use:

 

TheCrochetNetwork's Crochet University List of Foreign Crochet Termsl

 

Now, I can make slip stitches and double crochets instead of rods and chains. I was starting to worry about my brother having a leaning toward violence there what with all the rods and chains and all ...

Wow, that link is a goldmine! I may be tempted now to try some of the patterns I've seen that are not written in English! Thank you SO much!

Tiga,

 

I was going to thank you for sharing this link, but now I'm not so sure ... bad crocheter, bad crocheter....

 

But seriously, thank you for the link. It will make it easier when I browse those foreign-language sites drooling over the patterns there.
