As an American who enjoys crocheting, I was half-expecting this cartoon to be about the differences between American and British crochet terminology with Sister America not being able to understand why what she made looks very different from what Sister England made although they used the exact same pattern. Someone who's unaware that there's a difference between American and British crochet -- and Sister America (bless her heart) does strike me as the kind of person who would be unaware of this! -- will end up being very confused. There is no such thing in British crochet as the single crochet stitch (abbreviated as SC in American crochet patterns). The stitch that Americans call single crochet, the British call double crochet. The stitch that Americans call the half-double (HDC), the British call the half-treble (HTC). The stitch which Americans call the double crochet, the British call the treble crochet. (That's just for starters.)
