Guess I'm not the only person having problems with the English crocheting terminology from time to time. It took me a while to figure out that there's actually a difference between the British and the American one. For those of you having problems with this as well...

PS: I sometimes mention patterns by Sarah London. She lives in Australia and is therefore using the British terminology.

This is really useful, Uta. I remember when I started crochet last year, I was really confused when patterns didn't turn out the way I expected because I didn't realise the different terminology. Maggie xx
