    I think you would be better observing the on-line tutorials , So many to inspire you Bexy. I knit and crotchet left handed so it's difficult for me to follow a right handed knitter and you would find it equally confusing I think. I have found the u-tube tutorials for a left handed person invaluable,

      A few Fathers day bits. First some fudge I made for the father in law.

      Also a card I made for my dad. It rocks back and forth.

          What a lovely thought JJ. Better not though as I'm still having trouble "losing my Winter" surplus,
          :ThankYou:

              I took the trimmings of course for me and Mr Jane to eat. I couldn't give my father in law fudge with untidy edges. I doubt he would have minded as he had nearly a kilo of the stuff to eat.

              It was meant to be rum and raisn but I think the rum quickly burnt off in the heat of the cooking, so have learnt next time to add the rum at a much later stage.
