Yesterday on my Facebook Fan page
I asked a few questions
about Crochet Terms.
I found that a lot of people
are not sure about them.
I found a very good list
of Official Crochet Terms from
This is a complete list of abbreviations
and explanation of the abbreviations.
But What about the
"Not So Official"Crochet Terms
1. HOTH-
This is not a Star Wars term.
It actually means, "Hot Off The Hook".
A Project or item just completed.
These Dog Toys are HOTH.
2. Frogging - This is not Going Frog catching.
It refers to "ripping" out the yarn, or
undoing a project that did not come
out as planned. " Rip it, rip it, Ribbit, Ribbit".
undoing a project that did not come
out as planned. " Rip it, rip it, Ribbit, Ribbit".
3. Yarn Barf- This is not barfing up yarn.
This refers to when you pull the yarn from the
center of the skein and a whole wad of yarn
comes out in a big tangled mess.
4. WIP- This is "Work In Progress".
Refers to the Project you are working on.
5. "Hooker" - is not a Street Walker.
It refers to those of us who prefer
using a crochet hook,
using a crochet hook,
rather then knitting Needles,
to make our yarn projects.
to make our yarn projects.
Yes, I am a hooker.
6. A "Yarny" - Refers to anyone who loves
Anything pertaining to,
produced from, or containing yarn.

7. "Hooker Want a Be's" - Those who want to hook
but just don't have the skills.
So there you have it.
All the crochet Terms I know.
Feel free to comment any others
that you know and
I will add them to the list.
8. I just leaned a new Crochet Term -
"PHD" - Refers to "projects half done"!
I know I have a lot of those!
Now, get out there
and crochet
something fun today!
