About Lefti

Three years ago, I became chronically ill. I had never picked up a crochet hook or knitting needle before, but learning to craft became a small sliver of light in a very dark time. It was something that reminded me I could still grow, still learn — that even if my body had limits, my mind and hands could still create something beautiful. My first project was a sunflower blanket that still feels almost magical — a source of comfort and safety when I wrap myself in it.

Since then, my crafting journey has come a long way. As you might have guessed from the name, I'm a Lefti! Being left-handed has made learning new skills a unique challenge. Watching right-handed tutorials always felt like trying to decode hieroglyphics. It fascinated me how simply flipping a perspective could make everything click — so that's how Lefti was born.

The first time I mirrored a tutorial, I could practically hear my brain sigh in relief — finally, it all made sense! From there, I added tools to save tutorials, bookmark favorite moments, and make learning smoother.

A friend recently met a lady at a knitting workshop who said, "I could never learn to crochet because I'm left-handed." That broke my heart. Crochet brought so much light into my life, and everyone deserves the chance to feel that joy.

So here she is — a little hobby project that grew into something more. Made for me, my friends, and now you. Because learning should never feel backwards for anyone.
