I found this site and it comes in handy when doing graphs and trying to decipher some patterns that may not translate very well.

I used to get so hung up on HDC! Shirley

[rosieh20]

I'm sorry Shirley, I don't understand computer lingo so well...What do you mean HDC?

[Lili]

Half double crochet.... Shirley

[rosieh20]

Oh, lol, that hdc, i was confused i guess. Yes UK english and american english can be a bit different in crochet. That is slso nice in this site that theydo let you know when the meanings are different. And that is why i like graphs, help rid that gap

Don't feel badly..before I joined the group I never even did a half double crochet..so when it came to a pattern I was looking at I had to look it up..I didn't know what YO was either (yarn over) and then didn't understand what to do..and then figure it out..duh..wrap you hook..lol...there was a lot I didn't know. BTW (bytheway..lol) I ♥ hdc stitch now.
