Many left-handed people believe they cannot learn to knit. Others consider it necessary to acquire the difficult technique of "mirror-image" knitting, which involves working the stitches from the right-hand needle onto the left-hand needle. Learning to knit while left-handed could be challenging because so many knitting tutorials are geared for right-handed knitters. It can take some time for your non-dominant hand to create new muscle memory even though knitting needs the use of both hands-holding a knitting needle and yarn in one hand while operating a second needle with the other. You may learn to modify it in a variety of ways, though, so that it works for you. It's quite okay to pick up and use this left-handed knitting technique.
