   Hi Pelagalli

   Welcome and thank you for visiting and commenting on our blog. We thank and appreciate very much your participation. Yours is a very pertinent observation.

   In fact, you’re completely right. We had thought about it, but since our adventure is just starting and we have so few readers, we were planning on coming back to this issue later. Please excuse us. We are really committed to make our blog as inclusive as possible, but right now we have so little feedback from our audience that we often feel as if we were blogging alone by ourselves and we forget that our readers are no longer imaginary beings inside our heads, but real people with real needs.

   Here is why participations like yours are so important to us. They allow us to better understand who is interested in our contents and to identify our audience needs, helping us to improve our information. We have an urgent need of interacting with our public, since our goal is to create a readers’ community for mutual exchange and learning on crafts.

   Therefore, it’s with great pleasure that we hope we can satisfy the suggestion implied on your comment by proposing you to watch the video inversed versions (our best solution to demonstrate the hands movements from a left-handed perspective) that we prepared and added to this post (you’ll find the correspondent links under each video display).

   Our best regards,

   Atelier Lady Julia team
