Synopsis: The expert knitter and author of Hooked for Life shares an irreverent guide to the loopy world of knitting jargon from &“Acrylic&” to &“Yarn Porn&”. If you&’ve ever wanted to know what knitters really mean when they say &“frog&”, &“WIP&”, or &“stash&”, The Secret Language of Knitters is for you. Written by acclaimed crafting author Mary Beth Temple, this dictionary will make you laugh as you learn the ins and outs of knitting terminology. Ideal for the knitting novice as well as the yarn-obsessed, it includes entries such as: * Design Elements noun: Mistakes. As in &“The fact that one sleeve is five inches longer than the other is not a mistake, it is a design element.&” * Moth noun: The devil incarnate, eater of both stash and finished objects. Should be treated with a zero-tolerance attitude. * Stress Knitting noun: When the going gets tough, the tough get knitting.
