    Thank you for being a blessing! For decades I’ve always wanted to learn to crochet and it turns out, I can’t find a mentor who could teach me hands on because am a lefty. Finally, am retired and have no agenda and a lot of free time…to learn to crochet. Thought I’d try my hand in learning to crochet right handed. The fine motor skills, didn’t work. And when I skimmed down your detailed description, you offered a link to your tutorial for lefties! I have found your tutorial absolutely helpful for me and the bonus; you also have a slo-mo feature for people like myself. You’ve made me feel very confident in overcoming my challenges on my journey to crocheting. You are positively a gem! Aloha🌴

    I feel petty revenge for learning to crochet with my left hand since my parents were very strict about teaching me to write with my right hand as a kid, something about it being “wrong” to be left-handed. So as an adult now I do the evil laughter as I crochet 🧶 with my left hand. Learning videos like this one come as a blessing

    Thank you so much! I'm a female physician in my 50's, and I was inspired by my college aged daughter who recently took up crocheting. I'm left-handed and was so thankful to find this video specifically for left-handers. It took numerous tries just to get the first row and then the first and second row, and then the first, second and third row done! I had to keep starting over. But I could rely on your video for guidance! Finally finished my first patch of crochet and am so proud! It's not quite a scarf or purse or sweater yet, but I'll get there! Thanks so much!

    Thank for this video! You have given me hope that I can learn this. When I was a little girl (8 yrs. or so) my grandmother tried to teach me how to crochet. She was right-handed and I was left-handed. Needless to say she got very frustrated with me doing it wrong commented that I was too stupid to learn this. I was embarrassed and heartbroken. I never picked up a crochet needle again. Fast-forward 53 years my granddaughter wants to learn and I'm going to teach her with your incredibly easy to follow tutorials. Thank you so much.

I taught my niece in person who is left handed and yes it can be a challenge but we both had to push through and she did it! :-). I'm so thankful for technology today that helps me mirror the video image and assist our lefty friends. All my best to you and your granddaughter. You are making SPECIAL and lasting memories. I hope to do that with future grandchildren. Bless you!
