Easiest for who? As a left hander, this kind of idea (that all a right hander needed to do was sit opposite and let me mirror image) is part of what caused me to hate...................... Hi Bronwen Iâm a left hander and have always been reasonably able with my right hand so my mother said that as I could use both hands I could learn to knit right handed as it uses both hands. Unfortunately, although I can knit and have done fairisle, the wrong hand is dominant and I feel like I am fighting myself. Like you, the experience means I hate it. I have taught myself to crochet and tat right handed and can teach them successfully to right handers. When I teach a left-hander I feel confused about what to say regarding the words left and right and end up just working slowly saying âdo thisâ. It works but it would be better if I could add the commentary. Can someone explain this? ( I have my own ideas but donât want to express them and start another free-for-all with some members getting very indignant. Iâll let someone else take the flack for this one.) Happy lacemaking Alex P.S Not sure how to cut an email.
