snip.. Happy New Year all. I have been teaching a one handed lace maker in Spain...
Thank you for this thread. I, too, have a disabled dominent hand (right) since a break in Sept. The break has long since healed, but I, freakingly,( new word) stretched the radial arm nerve and so my hand is a tad limp. I am told it will repair....in some months. 'Nuff on that. I never did make any decision as to whether or not I could lace. I had lots of things I enjoy, like beading, so just did not want to try lacing and be disappointed. Well, in the morning the pillow is coming out. I know I can do it...as I am sure all of us have had to move the pairs with only one hand, for one reason or another. Never thought about sewings...**I can do that.**.....as my thumb and forefinger are moderatly useful. ...so I am way ahead. I have filed the messages, in this thread, and I think we should pass on any tricks that we learn. I have learned to accomodate tatting by throwing my thread differently (thanks to another tatter). Knitting by going back to the Continental method, of my childhood. Crochet..well, do-able, but VERY slow. Now if I could just relearn to write...with a pen!!!! Anything I do looks like the practicings of my 3 yr old DGD....poor bank!!!! ;-) Again thanks for the encouragement that you did not even know you were dispensing. ;-) Big hugs to all.
