Today's language is German. German is spoken in several different countries, and to me just sounds so beautiful and interesting! For reasons we won't speak of, it is looked at as a harsh language, but it is actually beautiful and I love how logical the compound words are.
So here we go, This is a list of useful words to look for if you come across German patterns. Please not that these translations are all my own, so I may not have included EVERYTHING there is to know about crocheting in German. If you are a native or fluent speaker and have more vocabulary for me to add (or any corrections, which would be super helpful) please comment below or email me at craftytuesdaycrochet@aol.com. If you are reading this and want to participate in helping me out with other languages, or want to request a language, please feel free to comment or email me for that as well! Thank you all for being interested in this series!
