I am left handed and all the people trying to teach were right handed - but I am not profoundly left handed - just writing and drawing - so in 1969 I ran across a book that told how to use the left fingers to control and feed the yarn and the right hand to manipulate the needle - WOW! First thing I ever knitted was a complex 'art' Spideyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350018553919112752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29820341.post-83198026270992827142021-11-04T09:50:31.390+00:002021-11-04T09:50:31.390+00:00That I understand!

I just could not grasp it for some reason. When she passed, I inherited her needles and so on. In amongst everything was a very old knitting book with broken spine and I tried one more time (otherwise I would have passed all the needles on).

It doesn't help that there have been so many failures - which makes me not want to do it.

My sweet little Dutch sampler now has a very skimpy hem - less than a cm! Oh well, I do have some hem so won't fuss too much and try to remember next time to baste every single fold line and the final edge. <br />Safe and well! xxxSpideyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350018553919112752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29820341.post-54099649452344017682021-10-30T00:53:20.423+01:002021-10-30T00:53:20.423+01:00Yes, I did manage to get all the gold thread safel...Yes, I did manage to get all the gold thread safely out, even two eyelets! Softly, softly to catch that monkey!! Put silver into the teal piece and DMC fil d'or in the other -still not perfect but better and it will never be seen on a galloping needlebook!

It isn't as easy to change.
