[Nfb-krafters-korner] reverse crochet stitch instructions

[Catherine jacobse]

Hi Terry,
If you are holding the hook in your right hand you are crocheting from right to left.  Unless you learned to crochet from Cathy F a long time ago, grin, little joke..  
For right handed crocheters the reverse stitch is worked from left     to the right.  For left handed crocheters the reverse crochet stitches are worked from right to  the left.  It is all a bit mind boggling!
I have read the info on reversible crochet stitch  I keep hoping there is a different way, cause I can not imagine making this stitch work!  Just me stuck in a rut.  I know I’ll give it a try this winter sometime.  It apparently makes a nice finish. 

Cheers,
Catherine J
