It takes one's brain a little time to 'remap', but if one is more naturally a different 'hand' then the skill tends to 'flow.' Glad your perseverance paid off though :)The Haltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399203797561705090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866620000582757486.post-5638651162366257742010-08-25T11:52:16.310-04:002010-08-25T11:52:16.310-04:00I love my mom, but she is not a "crafty"...I love my mom, but she is not a "crafty" person. The only craft she enjoyed and excelled at was painting plastercraft and ceramic figures. So anything I've ever wanted to learn, I've done on my own. Over the years I've taken classes in sewing, cake decorating, and scrapbooking. I had learned crochet through my aunt (my mom's sister)when I was about 10. She only taught me one stitch, so I stuck to making scarves. But one can only make so many scarves---you know what I mean? :-)<br />Last year, I bought the Basic Crochet video done by Kathy Brodock through BlueBehemoth.com. I loved it and was able to learn several more stitches but without regular practice I forget everything! :-)<br />I have tried to learn knitting from a book and that didn't work at all--I need to see it in process.I also was thinking about taking knitting classes but so far I haven't followed through. Maybe I will~<br />Thanks for sharing your story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
