left-handed envy?

I’ve never heard of left-handed envy, but it seems it now exists. Karen Platt, who does a great job of reviewing a lot of different embroidery books, had this to say about my left-handed book, The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion:

This is the first time in my life I have wanted to be left-handed. Unfortunately, I’m not.

That’s hilarious! I had no idea that my book would do that to people!

You can read the rest of the review at Karen’s website:

Added later: It begs the question… do right-handers want their own edition of my stitch dictionary?

    Congratulations!

    Also, I left a link to the trucker’s article on Needleprint yesterday, but forgot to acknowledge you as the source of the link. Sorry!

    I would love a copy of The “Right” Handers Embroiderer’s Companion. I’m excited that you are thinking about it!

    No worries, I’m sure others have read of it through other places than me!

    Hi Yvette,
    The right-handers are “right” to be envious. Your “LH Embroiderer’s Companion” is my stitch bible. No need to say more!
