Stasia, have you tried searching for a pattern in your native language?

#3

ohh yeah…believe me I did :))

I mean I have good english but it is not perfect and it is hard enough to understand the short terms people use to describe the patterns…
I sae a pattern that described really nice how to do it but I didn’t like it. It wasn’t tight on the head and it just looked funny… I know how to knitt and this site is my bible to knitting. but I can’t understand the short terms…

What is your native language? We have members from all over the world.

Here’s a glossary for knitting terms.

Thank you very much :slight_smile:
I’m from Israel I speak hebrew.

Stasia, I would suggest that you pick a pattern you like, and then come here and tell us which parts you don’t understand. Then we know exactly what terms you need help with and we can help more. :slight_smile:

You’re welcome! We have two members I know of who are in Israel so they may be able to help, too. I’m not sure of their native language, but it’s worth a try if you need more than we can give you.

Tamar Dohel - she’s not real active here right now, but did post recently.

KnittingNat - she’s a regular here.
