You will do well, because you want to learn. I learned when I was 13, from a wonderful Lady.But my tension was very tight, I got frustrated and put it away for a few years, Learned how to chrochet from and Aunt, and did very well. Then I went back to learning knitting and with hep from a dear friend, learned to knit two sweaters for my self and many baby blankets too. You will do fine. I am also left-handed but knit right- handed..

The reverse thing is hard for me also and some things do not translate to left handed and look right. The one that comes to mind is some of the alphabet crocheted…

You can do it. I also learned to knit at an early age (5) at my Great Grandmothers knee, I am not sure about crochet but she did both, but quickly forgot when I went home – after about a month. I quickly picked up crochet in my early teens and enjoyed that for many years before relearning in my 40’s to knit from my Mom holding yarn in right hand. Finally taught myself continental though still have problems with tension and still switch to yarn in right hand if tension really matters. Once you become comfortable knitting you will pick one as your favorite. For me it is ten projects in crochet for comfort to one project in knitting for the look.
