It is amazing to discover quite how left-handed I am: usually I think of myself as ambidextrous, though favouring my left hand for many tasks right-handers would use their right hand to do. Fortunately, I do mostly draw with my right hand. For painting and drawing for the next month or so the challenge will be about size of paper because of the weight of the drawing board, and being unable to stretch paper for painting. So I shall be investigating much heavier weight paper which may not require stretching!
The way forward with knitting is for me to learn the english style - something I had been planning to do anyway to help with two colour work. So, Linda kindly cast on for me at Stitch London on Wednesday, and a green sock is very slowly growing: I've knitted about 3" in the past week.
I've also been given very helpful tips by lovely friends who have experienced similar injuries, and am accepting lots of help from friends and strangers, so am getting by.
Here is a pen and ink drawing I made recently called "Creepy", which somehow seems to fit with this post because of the little girl's movement towards the unknown:

Oh Clare...you poor dear, you know I feel for you! Thankfully you can still draw, and what a great illustration! (I still think that good can come out of these things, tiresome though they are at the time).
Thank you for complimenting my drawing, Gretel : ) I totally agree about good: learning to knit English style is one good thing so far!
