Thanks so much Penelope I’m so glad you found it helpful
Hi. I’m a lefthanded knitter. whe. following your magic loop tutorial, should I just reverse your instructions, including where the tail would be when determining if the round is complete? In other words, would the tail on the left still mean there are stitches left to complete the round?
Thanks for your video and help!
Hi Mindy,
Sorry that I don’t have left handed videos – I’ve been meaning to investigate if there’s a way I could convert them. But a lefty contacted me before to say they use mirrorthevideo.com to flip/reverse right handed videos so they can follow them as a left hander. Here’s my magic loop video flipped: https://www.mirrorthevideo.com/watch?v=qtQNN6IDfhA I’ve also heard good things about this Chrome browser extension that adds a flip button to youtube videos: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yt-mirror/nokjcgeafjfhlbclmmgfeiiebgjfollb?pli=1
But following left hand specific youtube videos is probably much easier! Here’s a 3 min left handed magic loop tutorial that gets good reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZIxQpMjJqk
Hope this helps, Janine.
