HELP!

I was wondering if any of you can help me! I am right handed and I learned how to knit from my left handed mom. So now I knit left handed. I have never knitted anything for a pattern before. Will knitting left handed affect the way the pattern will come out?

Sorry! I have mot much experience to know if there is any difference between working on the right or left!! I hope someone can help you!

knitting is when you're holding two needles on one on each hand, the only question is where are you most comfortable holding the yarn/thread with the needle, if you're used to putting the needle or thread on your left, then that's fine...
for more info you check out Youtube.
btw, knitting with yarn on the right is called English Knitting, and on yarn on the left is called Continental Knitting.

My mum is an ambidextrous and I don’t think she has a problem with the pattern working or not. I don’t think your work will be any detent if you switch hands. I am also right handed and if I cannot do something in my knit pattern my mum helps me.I do know that you need tension when you’re knitting something’s but I do believe you’re left hand is as good as your right hand.

I hope that this will help you.
