Glenda I know what you mean, the first pair of socks I knit after mastering knitting with 4 needles I learned to turn a heel by standing behind my MIL looking over her shoulder. I think I finally found a book with basic left hand crochet instructions but today for us lefties there's Google :o). I just did simple granny squares until I got the tension right. I guess right handed instruction books held up to a mirror would work in a pinch. The squares in the afghan were made up as I went along, the center wheel I took from a pattern book but the rest I made up, you know crochet a round, pull it out try again LOL. Now I keep a book with a sample square, my instructions (well I understand them even if nobody else can) for all my my made up stuff just in case I want to do it again. Saves a lot of head scratching. The nice thing about crocheting with wool it works up fast. Then there's the sweater I was knitting with wool I bought on sale, my dear, sweet, gentle, well behaved Breeze's eyes used to glaze over when she spotted a ball of wool, you can see where this is going. I should have known better leaving knitting out in plain view of her ladyship. I came home one day to find my dear, sweet, gentle, well behaved kitty lying exhausted on the floor, my last ball of wool was completely unwound and tangled through two rooms of furniture, and I mean tangled, up, down, through everything. Her little eyes met mine, they seemed to say, I did good didn't I mom, I need a treat. I unravelled the sweater since I didn't have enough wool to finish it, crocheted a shawl instead, such is life.
