Today's Question , " What is the difference between a Colorway and Color?

According to the Dictionary: 

Colorway - "A color or arrangement of colors; any range of colors in which a style or design is available."
So when referring to Yarn, it is the color arrangement that it 
is available in.
The Colors and blends that you can purchase the yarn in.

Colors - "Is a palette of colors used together

 to make a cohesive 

fashion statement

 throughout a collection."

So when referring to Yarn, 

it is the colors you 

chose to use, 

such as greens or blues.

How you arrange the colors together.

Today we are answering the Question,

"Is It A Stitch or A Stitch Pattern".

These 2 term can be very confusing.

See The Video on my Youtube Crochet Channel At This LINK

The Crochet Stitches Are The Basics Stitch -
 chains, single crochet, Double crochet....ect.

Crochet Stitch Patterns are Stitches made from 
combining stitches into patterns.
Like a Box Stitch, V Stitch, Waffle Stitch.
They contain a combination of basic stitches to form
 the Stitch pattern.

Use a pen and write in all your ideas, gifts 
and crochet inspiration. yarns you tried that you 
love or didn't love.

You can also add happy, joyful things.

I like to write with a blue or black pen, 
then use a red for changes and corrections.
