>>> FUNNY CROCHET SLANG TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS TRANSLATED March 18, 2020
>>> by Nicole Riley Leave a Comment This list provides a translation to
>>> slang crochet terms some crocheters may have never heard before, but
>>> should. Be a part of the club and know what everyone is talking about.
>>> You just started to crochet or you finally started to join crochet
>>> groups, forums or clubs. But there is one small issue. They all seem
>>> to be talking in a different language. Crochet patterns already have a
>>> lot of abbreviations, but now crocheters also talk in such a different
>>> way that makes you feel lost. Well, that finally ends now. Let me be
>>> the dictionary and solution to your confusion with slang crochet terms.
>>>
>>> Finally, learn what “frogging”, “WIP” and “CAL” mean. This will be
>>> your go-to resource for all of them. Bookmark it, share it, pin it.
>>> Just have it handy when someone mentions slang crochet terms that you
>>> never heard. It’s like watching and reading crochet memes. You gotta
>>> understand them to laugh 🙂
>>>
>>> Crochet Slang Terms Translated
>>> SLANG CROCHET TERMS TRANSLATED
>>> WHAT DOES FROG OR FROGGING MEAN?
>>> Frogging is derived from “ripping out” which sounds like a frog sound,
>>> and means that you have to pull out your already made stitches and
>>> undo your work. Typically you would do that when you have made a
>>> mistake or don’t like your project and want to redo it and reuse the
>>> yarn. You might frog just a few stitches, or a row or the entire project.
>>>
>>> WHAT DOES WIP MEAN?
>>> WIP stands for “work in progress” and means that you are currently
>>> working on a project, whether it’s crochet, knit or anything else.
>>> However, it’s well known in the craft and crochet community, not so
>>> much in the actual workforce. Although it should, shouldn’t it?
>>>
>>> WHAT DOES CAL MEAN?
>>> CAL is short for “Crochet Along” which is an event where a designer
>>> creates and releases a known pattern in parts and a huge community all
>>> work on it at the same time. That is typically done in a Facebook
>>> Group, a forum or just through a newsletter. Some designers, like
>>> myself, even like to crochet Mystery CALs where the end product is not
>>> known, but the material list is.
>>>
>>> WHAT DOES KAL MEAN?
>>> KAL is the “sister” or “brother” of CAL. It means Knit Along which is
>>> the same process and event as a CAL, just for knitters with a knit

>>> Well, it’s the position you are in before you have a UFO. It means
>>> “unstarted object”.

>>> WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YARN CHICKEN?
>>> Well, some crocheters or knitters win or lose at “yarn chicken” and

>>> project or they didn’t have enough and need to get more. It’s like a
>>> game and competition between you and the yarn and no one knows who will
>>> win. The yarn or you.
>>>
>>> WHAT DO CIP AND KIP MEAN?
>>> CIP means “crochet in public” and KIP means “knit in public” and
>>> typically this abbreviation is used online when showing off that you

>>> “obsessive crocheting disorder”. LOL

>>> WHAT DOES TOAD STAND FOR?
>>> TOAD is almost related to FROG and means “trashed object abandoned in
>>> disgust”. So you pretty much gave up on it completely and will not
>>> even frog it.
>>>
>>> WHAT DOES ISO MEAN?
>>> It means ” in search of”. So you are looking for patterns or yarn or
>>> related things.
>>>
>>> WHAT DOES YARN BARF MEAN?
>>> Well, it means you tried to pull just a strand of yarn from the middle
>>> of a yarn skein, but were unsuccessful and you pull a “mini skein” out
