As you build your knitting confidence and embark on more knitting projects and patterns you will inevitably accrue yarn and build what is known as a stash. If you are anything like me you will end up buying yarn because it is simply too squidgy and gorgeous to leave in the store and then you end up with a large collection of yarn, sitting pretty and waiting for a knitting pattern to be allocated to...and so the stash grows.

Like all hobbies/pursuits and activities Knitting comes with it's own language. Not as complicated as Klingon but as a Beginner Knitter it can easily feel intimidating. You will find these slang terms being used in online knitting spaces like forums, comment threads or even Instagram posts, you may also overhear them being used in your local yarn store. Learn to Knit Online is built entirely on the intention to break down any intimidation or mystique around knitting so let's talk knitting jargon.
