Holding Yarn in left hand vs right hand

crawlingeye

I am left handed, but knit right handed. I want to learn to crochet, but I cant get the hang of holding the yarn in my left and and the hook on my right. Can I switch them without too much trouble or is it like knitting left handed (complicated conversions)? Thank you in advance.

Thank for you sharing. Its a nice apport contribution.

What you want is the continental version of knitting which is all left handed.....rather than the throwing of the yarn which is more Canadian or american right handed....if you can learn to do both its a great way to do fairisle or patterns that require more than one colour

I cannot imagine how it can be easy...

I would say if it is easier to you, learn to crochet right handed as you learned to knit.  I am a lefty myself.  I feel your pain.  Hang in there and I say if the results are the same, who cares which road we take to arrive! :)
