Isn't interesting how many lacemakers are left handed. I am also left handed
and I sew, crochet and have tried tatting all left handed and have no
problems with patterns. I also have to remember than left sides are right
sides like Sue. I find that if I watch someone else do a stitch right handed
I can transpose it to do it left handed.
My only problem was when my daughter first picked up a pencil I could not
visualise how she should hold it and so had to get my husband to put it in
her hand and then it was no problem. My son is left handed so no problem
with him. Daughter still cannot knit though even though 4 different right
handed people tried to teach her.

Funny isn't it? I taught myself to tat after seeing an elderly man tatting
at a craft show around 45 years ago. I got a shuttle, and a basic book
(can't remember which one, cept it had an orange cover) and taught myself
left handed (shuttle in left, thread in right). I've never had a problem
with patterns etc, neither have I with crochet - hook in left, thread in
right again. All I have to remember is that if I'm doing something like a
jacket, then the right side is the left side.
Not a problem as far as I'm concerned.
