| Crochet Terms Never Written in a Book Here are some online terms you might encounter while surfing crochet sites and reading emails: PAS = Pattern Acquisition Syndrome When you buy patterns because you don't have that particular pattern and you need more because you just can't seem to get enough YAS = Yarn Acquisition Syndrome When you visit your LYS 'just because' and buy yarn 'just because' when your closet is already full of yarn and you know you don't need any more LYS Local Yarn Shop HAS = Hook Acquisition Syndrome Believe it or not, some people can't get enough crochet hooks! (I'm one of them! LOL) PUFFY A puffy is a package you receive when you join a crochet Exchange online on an email list group. It contains the crocheted Exchange item and other various items that the sender would like to give...(i.e. soap, tea, fragrance, chocolate, and any other thoughtful additions.) CLUNKY A clunky is a box with the crocheted item in it plus any additional thoughtful items. FROG To frog is to rip out what you've crocheted ... rip-it, rip-it, rip-it. To visit the frog pond is to go a-ripping! You will most likely find other froggers there too! LOL Laugh out loud, laughing out loud, or laughs out loud ROFLPIMP Rolling on the floor laughing peeing in my pants ROFLMCAO Rolling on the floor laughing my crocheting a** off THUD = The Usual Disclaimers When someone likes a product from a company but is not affiliated in any way with that company UFO = Unfinished Object How many unfinished crochet projects do you have in your closet? WIM = Works in Mind Those projects that you have on your list to crochet and you probably already bought the yarn for! WIP = Works in Progress Those projects that you are currently working on |

| Welcome to the newest edition of Chains of Thought!!! Spring is here ...... however it has been raining and quite cloudy in Southern Ontario for the past week or so. This is the holiday weekend, which is usually the official start for those who like to camp, tents, trailers, etc. In Canada it is Victoria Day. This is the day that Canadians celebrate Queen Elizabeth's birthday. Next weekend the Americans have a long weekend called Memorial Day. From the Canucks we wish each and everyone of you in the USA a wonderful weekend. My daughters and I have been reading Debbie Macomber's books. Tina just finished "A Good Yarn" and brought it over for me to read. I have 4 or 5 others of Debbie's books that I have on my summer reading list. If any of you get a chance, these books are really good. Nice books to read while sitting on the deck or patio or under a tree just enjoying nature at its fullest. Hope you enjoy this edition of Chains of Thought. Thanks to all the reporters and Tina for putting it all together for us. Hugs, Margaret, Editor |
