Every once in a while the topic of "handedness" comes up... which hand is predominantly yours. I think of myself as being... I don't know. There are 3 options:
Right-handed: Regardless of whether I catch a ball or write with it, this hand doesn't seem the most natural for me. When I was first learning how to write, I tried with my left hand and was punished. I don't think learned behavior dictates natural tendencies.
Left-handed: Possible, and I'm inclined to think of it this way. Except that, when cleaning, I use both hands rapidly sometimes. If I see a speck of dirt, I use the closest hand, which would imply:
Ambidexterity: My mother claims this, but I've never really noticed. Of course, I could be taking her for granted. It could also be that most of my learned behavior is right-handed, my natural inclination is left, and that I kind of adapt a little.
Related: I've recently made an effort to write with my left hand. To learn to do it with the same level of aptitude as my write. Since my handwriting sucks, this was accomplished in a matter of weeks, but I was afraid that the bank would claim that I'm not who I said I was on checks. I've found no real use for being able to write with both hands, and I'm more likely to just pick it up with the right hand and go (it does take some concentration to use my left).
Thoughts?

You'd make an excellent knitter. A good knitter uses both hands fully, and can "throw" the yarn with both hands. And if you can do that, you can knit with 2 colors at once, which makes it so easy to produce those complex-looking Christmas stockings.
Knitting is one of the few skills I haven't tried to develop... or possess. I've only tried my hand at sewing and cross-stitching.
I'll consider it, depending on my outlook in other fields.
