LEFT Handed Crochet ?
Can anyone suggest where I might find, on the net, and for free, photos that show left handed crochet for beginners? I did download a set of pictures showing the hook and stitch, but for some reason, my niece cannot follow it and needs a picture that shows the actual hand or hand position. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. With thanks, LR |

I second the idea of "Mirror Teaching." After many years of trying to teach
myself to crochet and just frustrating myself, I happened to be working with someone that was crocheting on our breaks. After just a few days of watching her, I was able to pick up a hook and crochet away. Funny thing was, I learned to Double crochet LONG before I got the hang of Single crochet. However, I took a class to learn to knit, and they ONLY taught right handed. Picked it up fine. Maybe because I'd been crocheting for about 12 years all ready. JJMolvik |

I wanted to tell you two things... I happen to be left handed, but I
knit, crochet and tat right handed... Lefties tend to be more ambidextrous than righties... this is kind of funny, because i'm right handed, but crochet left handed and knit right handed (trying to get my hands to work to knit left handed). the only difference i can see in the way i crochet is that i have the hook facing up instead of down (could never get the loops off right with the hook facing down) cc |

I'm left-handed too. I figured it out on my own without pictures, just read
the directions and understood. Along with the links somebody provided for you, I was going to suggest opening the pictures you downloaded, saving them as .bmp files, opening them again with the paint program, then flipping them over using the image/flip-rotate command and resaving them. ~Peggy wrote in message ...

oops. sorry for the double post. I've been having problems lately with my
posts not showing up the first time so I post them again. I thought the first one here didn't show up so I posted it again. "Peggy" wrote in message ... I'm left-handed too.
