I agree with everyone here...."knit right-handed" its the most ridiculous thing I've heard. You can't be that good a teacher with that attitude. You sound like my 2nd grade teacher who, upon finding out I was left-handed, told me to just switch hands and I'd be fine.
I'm left-handed. I write with my left. How do you expect me to knit right handed?? I can try..but still its very difficult for loong hours. you cant force lefthanded people to change ok.
Perhaps you should try cutting with a scissors using your lefthand..maybe u understand the feeling :)
Telling a person to "just knit right-handed" is not a teaching guide and I think this video needs to just be removed. She is an idiot and has no right to call herself a teacher in anyway. Before you mention something make sure the information is correct. Your a bumbling idiot and I recomend that you never post another video and waste peoples time again.
Trust me, I know I'm not the only one who first tried it doing it the "right" way and only ended up frustrated. It feels much more natural to me to have the needle on the left-hand doing the knitting and purling while I keep the needle on the right hand still. I felt clumsy and shaky when I first tried knitting as my mother showed me years ago. Just because it involves two hands does NOT mean that it will be easy for someone left handed. Hand dominance rules over-all.
I thought "left-handed" knitting is Continental AKA picking AKA German knitting?! Incidentally, I'm right-handed and I am a picker (Continental) knitter, as my Mother is, and my Great-Grandmother was...
Are you kidding me? This is lame and arrogant. You may think that knitting isn't a "handed" thing, but it very much is. It's quite awkward to hold my left hand still while I work with my right hand. I'm very clumsy and it feels completely unnatural. Now, when I hold my right hand still and move my left hand, I feel like I have a bit more control and it doesn't take me a full hour to do one line of knit. So, thanks but no thanks.
I understand why you say what you say but as a very left handed person, the reason we want to learn how to do it left handed is because it's hard for us to watch a right handed person holding the needles and yarn and switching it in our heads. It's not about the patterns for us, it's about the technique and most people who show how to do left handed hold the camera so we can see from the first person perspective.
Being Left handed is not a choice, but changing your viewpoint is.
Telling a left-handed person to 'just learn to knit right-handed' seems like an arrogant point of view. Do you have any idea how very difficult this is???? I am guessing you are right-handed.
Ok I'm a righty but I've been dying to know how to knit left handed ever since I saw my knit left handed. you shouldn't post a video on how to knit left handed and then just say knit right handed. That's like telling an overweight person to run 5 miles. Sometime they just can't do it!
I just started knitting, and it is honestly insanely frustrating to be held back by my handedness. I'm so sick of people saying it's two handed so it doesn't matter. You do two completely differnet things with with those two hands. If it really were the same, there would be no such thing as right or left handed knitting. Think of all the things you use both hands for, could you do them all backwards? Yeah I didn't think so.
that's not fair at all, 'Knit right handed' that's your advice?! WTF and the figure of 99% i think is a little off, 25% of the people in the world are left handed so 6 billion divided by 4 equals 1.5 billion now I'm sure all of these 1.5 billion knit but even so get a grip woman! embrace the lefty's
I knit left-handed. There is nothing I can't knit. Nothing. Get a grip lady, you are SO misguided.
