Crochet Abbreviations

Hola Penelopes! aca estoy en un pequeño recreo de mi trabajo! la verdad es que agotada pero feliz. Todos los dias busco en internet para intentar postear algo lindo y facil para ustedes, pensando en que se viene la navidad y que las cositas mas chiucas son los proyectos que mas regalitos nos permitiran preparar... ADEMAS cuando estamos cansadas de alguno de los largos patrones, nos diustraemos un rato con los rapidos!

Por las dudas uno de los posts de hoy es las abreviaturas en Ingles de varios puntos. Luego en este mismo blog tienen traduccion de puntos asique pueden comparar.
