One lady said she is right handed and her daughter who is left handed wants to learn to knit. They were talking about ways to teach her. None of us thought of the internet (doh!) but I suggested sitting down in front of a mirror and letting the daughter watch her in the mirror. What do the "lefties" here think? Would that work? I notice someone did mention it in a post in this section but only very briefly. I ended up reading all the posts in this section. About 40 + years ago, a lefty told me how she follows patterns written for right handed knitters but no-one seems to have mentioned this method. She said she just knits where it says purl and purls where it says knit and everything comes out inside out which is very easily fixed. Would this work? I knit a hug into every stitch [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
