Question
I just purchased a book by Ann Benson called beaded crochet designs. My
question is this...in the process, she stresses that the bead should be moved to
the right of the crochet hook.  I am left-handed. Should I change that part of
the directions? Thanks so much!!

Answer
Well I don't do bead crochet but I do know how to get ahold of Ann Benson.  Her web site is:

You can also use the contact link to ask her directly.  I hear she is really nice and responds quickly.

I hope this helps!
