Special fix for left handers:  I am left handed myself.  Most pattern illustrations are made for right handers.  There is a very simple fix if you are new to crochet or just really need to see an illustration or picture of a crochet step the Left Handed way!  What I do is make a copy or take a picture and then reverse the picture on my computer.  My easy go to program for reversing the picture is PowerPoint as it's simple to grab on the side and drag it to the opposite side, but there are many other programs that are easy to use for this purpose as well!
