What is the best method to teach a 9 year old granddaughter basketweave. I read in one book to turn the work upside down. Thanks! Sue

I'm right handed and have taught several people to crochet by sitting across from them and doing the stitches. The follow along. This "mirror image" style has worked for that - maybe it can work for needlepoint. Just a thought.

That's the way I learned all my needlework skills from two opposite-handed teachers.

Then I got a same-handed teacher and was totally confused, because I was so used to reversing the directions in my mind!
