Actually any day filled with stitching and needlepoint is another day to celebrate!
So what exactly are we celebrating? International Left-handers day! Now even though I am not a leftie, I have been told by many a teacher that I stitch…especially basketweave as if I am a left handed. Go figure!
These are new scissors by Premax, which is a centuries-old company of artisans in the mountains of Italy. These scissors are primo cutting implements—sharp, smooth, quality, long-lasting.
I love my Premax and have since added to my stash with Carnivale, which is the scissors on the left. Then there is Purple Haze, which sometimes comes out blue and Spring Dreams.
Even those these scissors are not specifically designed for a left hander, Premax does design many for the leftie!
Is she sticking her tongue out at us?
I’m ambidextrous…I thread a needle both ways, needlepoint right-handed, write right-handed, but do activities requiring strength left-handed, like bat a ball, serve a volleyball, bowl. I have a serious scissor collecting habit, but I don’t have a Premax….yet. Alley Cat sure has attitude! In a good way, of course.
