Being left handed and wanting to crochet proves to be quite the task. I tried to teach myself all before there was internet or smart phones,you tube you name it.I tried books and the mirror with a right handed lady and keep on trying for a few years,no success then one day at Church I noticed a 12 year old girl who was crocheting and lo and behold she was holding the hook with her left hand.My eyes must of been tricking me but no she was a lefty and I thought this is fantastic!!So I asked if she would show me and I explained my predicament and she helped me and finally I got it and then I was off on my crochet journey,which is one of my favorite things to do.
