@ickplant I found it most amusing that when mom taught me to crochet some 55 years ago, I kept teasing her that she was doing it backward (she was right-handed and I was left-handed). Then my sister (also left-handed) picked up crocheting AND knitting. We both teased mom about “doing it backwards”.
I’d also tease my nephew about how restaurants always knew to give me left handed chop sticks. He had to take Organic Chemistry in college before his girlfriend (who also took it) that chopsticks aren’t “chiral” or handed.
That’s too funny! I knit continental style while most of my friends use English style, so I give them a hard time for “doing it wrong” lol.
@ickplant Both mom and Nana knitted “continental style” w/o casting off. When she worked at a knitting/needlepoint shop in retirement, she and the other knitting instructor both taught continental style knitting.
At 70, I still have the afghan I crocheted at 14 out of all the leftover yarn from mom and Nana’s projects.
