how to remember abbreviations

Submitted by Veggie on 10 November 2008 - 8:34am.

Because I believe it is tedious having to switch back from the pattern in the book to the back of the book to find an abbreviation that one doesn't know to well I think the easiest way to deal with that is to make one self a bookmark with what the abbreviations mean. I think they also make great gifts for beginning crocheters.

excellent idea!
