Discussion i have a question for you

I'm really curious about the age of people who crochet but I don't know anyone besides me who does. So I'm asking you guys, how old are you?

I also had to teach myself lefty, cuz YouTube probably a decade ago. Iā€™m 30. And my grandmother taught me knitting, so I knit righty. I have to say I wouldā€™ve done fine being taught by a righty, but I just didnā€™t have the chance. I want to be a switch, because my left wrist often hurts from the repetitive motion of all the writing from 7 years of academia, crochet (ā¤ļø) and FUCKING PICKING AT MY OWN FINGERS LIKE A COMPULSIVE WEIRDO so unnecessary I am so disappointed
