cute cute!! i took one for my son. he's a lafty crocheter too! teaching him was pretty funny.... for one he's only 6 and the other because he's a lefty. i just had him sit across from me and he mirrored what i did.... not sure if that's the right way or not, but it worked :D
how did you learn???

Question, what program does everyone use to make their buttons? I really need to make mine just haven't gotten aorund to it yet.

[luvtocraft]

I downloaded a free trial for Paint Shop Pro (http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/). The trial is good for 60 days then I have to purchase it if I still want it.

I must say, I LOVE this program. Only thing is, I probably won't be buying it. I really don't have that kind of fundage.

Thanks Donna! :)

Tiff, that's right! (or should I say *left* ;) ) I'm glad you like the buttons.

Rebecca,
I learned the same way. I went to a friend who crocheted and said, "Teach Me!" At first I tried to look over her shoulder, but since she was a righty, I had to sit in front of her. I did have to look over her shoulder every so often to see how the yarn looked when I YO and when putting the hook in the stitches.

Good for you for teaching your son to crochet!! Pass on the art!! :)

Thanks Chelle!

Paint Shop Pro 8 is at ebay - that's where I purchased my current one - I also have psp 6. Anyhow, I purchased it for $29.95 from returnwarehouse. Others are selling it for about $24-$25 as well. So check ebay :cheer

Great buttons! I'll be swiping one of your blog buttons since I'm not left handed! Great job! <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" />

Thanks for the info, I have PSP just was curious what everyone else used.

[Donna]

Kari, I use Adobe Photoshop to make buttons.

[kariholtz]

Donna do you like Photoshop better than PSP?
I was one of the early early beta testers for PSP (like version 3 or something small like that) and just always have it cuz I get discounts on it so it's pretty much all I have tried and I haven't had much time to learn the newer versions.

[Donna]

I've never tried Paint Shop Pro. I use Photoshop because it's software I already had on hand, and I know how to use it. :p

[kariholtz]

Well thats a good enough reason to use it as any other.:b :thumbsup

[luvtocraft]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought of e-bay. You are an :angel !!
