[Nfb-krafters-korner] typing one handed

[Becky Frankeberger]

Hey Joyce I understand typing one handed. Use the F and the J as a sort of
home row. Think about the letters within one key from the J. Several
letters. Think about the letters around the F. Several letters. Now make
words using only the letters around each key. Make sure your position is
right in front of the keyboard or at a slight angle depending on what you
are typing.

 

This is the part that is hard, sometimes you just have to have your fingers
on the real home row to find the letter you want to type. In my case my
right hand was the only one in use. So my pinky was on the F, so the ring
finger could reach down to type the C in your  name, then that same finger
came up to type the E. It just takes practice and patience. But when you
need to communicate, you will determine yourself to just learn. As you
practice your speed and accuracy will increase. After a while you will get
even more done around the house using your elbow in tandem with the working
hand.  

 

You can crochet with one hand also. I used my bed to rest the garment on,
but with that right hand I was able, slowly, to put several rows on a
poncho, double crochet. My pointing finger yarned over, then the same finger
watched the tension, so the stitches were even.  

 

Give me a call and we can work through this stuff, hugs.
