A left handed stitch

It's been a tricky four weeks with my right hand in plaster. I had the choice of colour and chose paw prints in honour of our son's new puppy. She's very good and learning quite quickly, she's here about once a week and is very well behaved.



It's taken me a while to stitch again. Everything is a bit awkward left handed but the difficulty has been holding the fabric in my right hand. 

I have completed Day 7 of Jo Verso's 12 Days of Christmas although I still have the red beads to add, far to fiddly at the moment. The half stitches were quite tricky and what a lot there were.


Time to start Day 8, I hope to get it done by the time my plaster comes off in two weeks.

Oh, my! I'm very impressed with your left handed stitching, Claire! I know my left hand wouldn't even be able to do one X :) I'm extremely right handed! The puppy is so cute and I hope you're healed up in no time! Take care now!

So well done with the left hand stitching, no idea how you manage that. How that puppy has grown since the "baby" picture. xxx

Very nice finish, and take it easy so you heal well, as difficult as that is!

Maple is a lovely looking dog Clare. Your willpower is strong with managing to stitch with your left hand. I know how difficult, in fact almost impossible, it is for me to use my right hand for stitching.
