Knitting vocab
A finnish friend of mine was complaining how hard knitting patterns are to follow in English, they use loads of special knitting only words, abbreviated as much as possible, like some kind of code. Knitting patterns I have seen in French and Hungarian were much more logical, more like normal instructions than a secret code, and with less jargon.
What are the words in different languages for:
Knit (stitch) - standard stitch where the wool comes from the back of the knitting?
Purl (stitch) - when you turn the knitting over and the wool hangs at the front ?
Ribbing- where you alternate knitting and purling to create ridges, like on the cuff of a jumper?
