Oh my gosh I feel you. Im a lefty and autistic and as much as I enjoy making kandi it can be really stressful! Ive found that flipping the patterns really helps a lot <3

maybe reverse the pattern and do it from the other side!

I'm a lefty too, and it sure is annoying!

you can string it right to left, or you can screenshot the pattern and flip it horizontally and then when youve finished the cuff just flip it inside out!

there's no wrong way to thread kandi! personally, when making super basic kandi i actually put one end of the elastic between my teeth and then thread on the opposite end of me, because the beads slide down easier (when threading with lettered kandi, make sure the bottom of the letters face the right side!) when making cuffs, i work from right to left. its perfectly fine and possible to make the kandi with your left hand! just flip the pattern and copy it that way. i hope this helps!!

you can totally flip the patterns around and weave the other way around! good luck <3

idk if this would work but maybe u could reflect/flip the patterns and do it that way, then flip it over once ur done? also it isnt dumb for u to get frustrated about stuff like this!! it happens to me all the time. its nothing to be ashamed of
