Translation: For-your-information my work-in-process mile-a-minute unfinished-object just got ripped out (frogged!).

Every craft has their own language shorties like CAL: crochet-a-long of friends and acquaintances all crocheting the same project, KAL for knitting.

I use “STASH” a lot meaning yarn you have on hand to use for whatever purpose (or your hiding!) and TALC which I do all the time “take along crochet”. I don’t go on any long road trip without a bunch of projects packed (stuffed!) in a carpet bag (remember those?). I can be found crocheting on a plane, sitting in a parking lot or a friends living room. I’m not picky! I even went to a seminar once and crocheted through the whole couple hours!

Check out Crochet Language on-line sometime, you won’t believe some of the shorties folks are using, I found out I’m a HOOKER!
