Dear forum users,

Is there a list somewhere of German translations for English technical terms used in knitting patterns? My son gave me a book about knitted cats, written by two English authors, and my English isn’t that great!
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, ruthk. I wonder if there’s a handy chart like that for knitting, too?

Thanks again for your help. I finally found exactly what I was looking for at
wolleunddesign.de; wollboerse.de; petraschuster.de
Now nothing should stand in the way of my little knitted cats!
I wish everyone a wonderful summer Sunday in May!
