Left Handed
#31
This thread reminded me of my wonderful and dear grandmother who was left handed. She was forced to learn to write with her right hand and actually wrote with both hands. Amazingly my right handed handwriting looks just like her left handed writing. She crocheted "backwards" and said that no matter how many times people tried to copy her work, especially the crocheted slippers she made, no one could ever do it successfully.
She taught me to crochet and to sew and I am pretty sure that I learned some of her left handed "techniques." Sometimes I hand stitch one way and sometimes the other way. At some point I noticed that bows that I tie are always upside down and I am pretty sure that she must have taught me. It turned out well, though. I can tie bows upside down, right side up and backwards and forwards!
Gosh, I miss her so much still today.

There is a left handed store in Toronto. They are online. Just Google Sinister Shop. I do everything left handed except some crafts. When you only have a right handed teacher...you learn to do right handed. Some things can be adapted but others can't.
I once read that everyone is born right handed but only the gifted overcome it.

I am also a lefty. I have two pairs of Gingher "left-handed" scissors and love them. No problem. Just DO NOT left a righty use them.
I don't seem to have problems with the rotary cutter has I can change the blade to the appropiate side.
You know besides being in our right mind, they say we are more artistic.
To all of you, have a great Christmas, Holiday.

I'm right handed but used to sit in my school desk seat facing the opening, with my legs out. i turned my paper so the top would be facing the left and the side toward me. it was the only way I could write in the small desk space.
my son is left handed.

Try crocheting left-handed......lol! I taught myself by reading the instructions and doing it backwards however I could never learn to crochet that smallest crochet thread until I sat down with my MIL and watched her crotchet slowly right handed and followed along with her movements left handed......I was off and running then......that amazed me....
