How Do You Teach A Left-Handed Person To Knit?
Knitting is a fun and satisfying hobby, and is useful for making presents and decorative items like afghans for the house. If you’re right-handed, it’s easy to learn from another right-handed person. But what does a left-hander do? Here’s the answer Place the mirror across the teacher’s lap, tucked under his arms. His hands and needles and yarn should be right in front of the mirror, about 8 to 10 inches away. The left-handed student sits across from the teacher, with a clear view of the mirror. The teacher then demonstrates all the stitches, starting with casting on, then knitting and purling, and progressing to increasing and decreasing. The student should never look at the teacher’s hands. Look only at the mirror, where it will appear that a left-handed person is knitting. The student only needs to do exactly what she sees in the mirror.
