Hi Sue and fellow Arachnids,
Have you tried showing a left-hander a technique in the mirror. It works for
some though not for all.
Happy lace making,
Joepie, in sunny East Sussex.

Subject: Re: [lace] Lace and math, was Teaching children
I dont know about lacemaking but when my daughter was about eight I
volunteered to teach some children to crochet and I sat around a circular
table with several girls helping each one to get the hang of how to make it
work, even managing to change hands and do it left handed for one little
girl (I have recently tried to do that again for a friend and over 30 years
later my brain and hands wouldn't respond). There was a joy and eagerness
within the group and others in the glass doing other crafts. As with all
arts, crafts and lessons I think that a variety of people will respond but
not all, so agree it wouldn't be right to push all to take it up. Many of
you have had excellent responses from young boys as well as girls with the
fishes and the snakes rather than the strips of lace but if they see a
variety of types and have chance to try themselves, I think there might well
be a good response. Anything else it teaches the children and we know there
are lots of benefits to be gained would be really good.
