You have precision in your video posting! I was thinking about doing a chain ply for one of my singles and wanted to know if you would do a chain plying video and here we are! I am right-handed and chain-ply with my left hand as well, there are things I can do better with my left hand than the right hand.

How serendipitous! I love it when that happens. It was meant to be. Spin Happy!

Oh my, Finn is bald!! I hope you gave the groomer hell! That yarn is gorgeous.

[@jkfiberarts]

I know!!!😭😭😭we are going to try and get his head fixed. It will grow back! By Christmas he will be floofy again!

The yarn is amazing. So so pretty! I love how the turquoises and blues play with the browns. I’m right handed and I chain ply just like you. Perhaps because your older chain ply video was the one I watched that made sense to me!?! Making the loops with my left hand works for me, too! Thanks for explaining that Finn’s haircut was not what you asked for! I couldn’t imagine why y’all would want him groomed like a poodle!!! I hate what happened for you and for Finn! Glad that it is growing back at this very moment. Give him a hug from me, please. harpingJanet

I think I chainply left handed because I play the guitar and I have good fine dexterity with my left hand. Poor Finn’s haircut is the worst dog grooming I have ever seen. We are going to try and get it fixed a bit. At least fix his weird poodle poof head! Good thing his hair will grow back! He is still my sweet, best boy! I will give him a hug from you! Hope you are having fun TDF! Spin Happy😃!

@@jkfiberarts Same here. I used to play guitar, now play harp and mountain dulcimer, so my left hand has done fiddly fine-motor things my whole life. Gotta love that kind of cross training!

[@jkfiberarts]

I was wondering if you had that dexterity from playing the harp. Cool! 😎
