Left handed, been knitting and crocheting since 1992. I crochet left handed and since knitting is ambidextrous anyway, “left handed” knitting is kind of moot. For left handers I would suggest using the English knitting method instead of Continental since in the English method you hold and tension the yarn using the right hand just like you do in left handed crochet. I started my embroidering journey in 2021. My style and technic are “vintage” since that is when I learned to knit and crochet. When given an option I will choose natural, manmade, or blended fibers over 100% synthetic plastic yarns. I prefer working in cotton, cotton/wool blends, and viscose.
