Hi wizdmzchld,
The latin word for left-handled is "siniestra", if you translate the word to the english, yes, it means sinister.
Diestra (right side), Siniestra (left side).
Siniestra was considered the evil side, that's why until some years ago the left handed children were forced to use and write with the right hand, specially in catholic schools. And more years ago a left handed person was considered possesed by the demon.
This days we are considered regular people some times and some other kinda handicap person.
For some activities a left handed item will be helpful, but we are used to live in a right word and ussually we find our way.
Learn how to knit from a right handed teacher is not so hard, just change the front side for behind side and viceversa. But learn how to crochet is a different thing and much, much more easy fron a left handed techer.

Wnewtn,
Welcome! 
Thank you so
much for the great info - it's extremely helpful!
I'm familiar with Ann Benson books (they're wonderful!)
and that's a brilliant point about the Czech beads. Normally, Czech beads are more
irregular and don't work quite as well as a Japanese/Miyuki seed
bead for weaving that needs to be very even. Though they can work
the other way and give a charming, homey look to weaving, where
Miyuki might end up looking almost mass produced. And for bead
crochet, the Czech would certainly elevate any crochet project
because of their irregularity.

spot on about the durability. I love to knit, but it doesn't have
the sturdiness of crochet.
Feel free to post
pictures of your bead crochet (or any other beading) here!
