"The Crochet Crowd" is a fabulous resource for crocheters. The site offers advice, tutorials, patterns, projects, challenges, a newsletter, inspiration and more. TCC can be found at www.thecrochetcrowd.com and on Facebook.

Most crocheters are familiar with the “Abbreviation Guides”
published with most patterns. “Slang,”
however, is omitted from the guides. “The
Crochet Crowd” compiled the following guide to “Crochet Slang” in their “Keeping Up with the Crowd! A Hooker’s Journal.”
Some of these terms are just plain fun …
C2C -- Corner to Corner (A crochet stitch pattern.)
De-Stash -- Cleaning out your “Stash” of yarn of the stuff you
had to have but will never use
Free Hand -- Crocheting something without a pattern
Frogging -- “Rippit, Rippit, Rippit!” Rip it out baby! For whatever reason you find yourself undoing
your hard work, it is the art of Frogging.
Hooker -- A term of endearment for a crocheter. One who “hooks” for enjoyment or
compensation.
HOTH -- Hot Off the Hook
Stash -- Your collection of yarn, most often stashed in nooks
and crannies around the house.
UFO -- Un-Finished Object
WIP -- Work in Progress
Yarn Bomb -- The art of crochet graffiti where an object or
place is taken over with crochet art.
