I would love to try crochet but am left handed - does anyone have a link to show me how? Are there any other lefties out there who crochet and do they have any problems? I can knit but do it right handed and am very slow.Kondo'ed 76 items from wardrobe, 4 carrier bags of books0

I tried today to buy the crochet magazine in Sainsurys and they said they do not stock it (couldn't find it in Tesco either)
Off to practice a bit more single crochet (usa) or double crochet (uk)

Just got my copy in WH Smith its really set me straight with the nice close up shots on the DVD. Only problem I have got now is that my DVD player keeps playing it with subtitles and I can't get them off, how annoying as its covering the crocheting.
Does anyone else have this problem my eyes are all bleary and misty when I have spent 10 minutes or so working on the crochet, I don't understand why cause I spend all day looking at a PC screen with no problems!!0 -

Finally managed to get A copy of " The art of Crochet" never knew how difficult it would be to get one:rolleyes:
WHsmiths had sold out and it took three more newsagents to find it:rolleyes:
Was shocked to see it for sale on ebay....one was being bid on and the bids were at £3.97 last I looked and there was a buy it now for £19.97:eek:
Can't knit very well, so hoping I can crochet better:o Havent tried it before so should be interesting......If your neighbour's grass is greener, its time to water your lawn!:rotfl::rotfl:0 -

I avoid the centre of Leeds like the plague whenever possible lol. I ended up having to go out to Birstall retail park, to the WH Smith there, they had a few left. White rose centre had sold out, as had all my local newsagents and hobbycraft :eek:!!!!Starting weight 17st 4lb - weight now 15st 2lbs
