Crochet abbreviations

1

So I want to start a fun game/info thing were we either make up or present to others abbreviations/words for things in crochet, knitting, etc. you can comment existing ones, or ones you made up, whether they are actually helpful or just funny. I’ll start:

STABLE: Stash Accumilation Beyond Life Expectancy
WITHWIT: What In The Heck Was I Thinking?
Clown Vomit: what happens when all of the yarns get tangled up together
HOTH: Hot Off The Hook
BiStitchual: A person that does it all, crochet, knitting, embroidery, etc.
HMCCTLAITTEMBIOMTBHSTACARBAMH: Help My Crochet Came To Life And Is Trying To Eat Me But I Only Made The Bottom Half So There’s A Crocheted Animal Rear Bouncing Around My House

Most of these are existing, I just thought they were fun and somewhat little known :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face:

i think bistitchual should be crocheting + knitting, while panstitchual could be like 3+ or 5+ crafts :)

I feel like you shouldn’t say you’re bistitchual or panstitchual unless you’re actually queer…

In my house, when a yarn is too bright or colorful for a pattern (looking at you, Red Heart Stripes), it is known as “unicorn barf”.
