Knitter's Slang: Knitting Terms You Need to Know

I was recently writing about a project I was working on over on the AllFreeKnitting Facebook page, and I used a couple of shorthand terms.  I quickly realized that some of our newer knitters might not know these knitting terms that I had used as they are more of a popular “knitter’s slang,” so I […]
