Projects from Crocheted Crudités

Cindy Talks about Crochet Crudités

In Crochet Crudités, you will find many exciting projects to create from just thread. This statement is so much fun to say...just thread. Imagine, making a baby blanket, a potpourri holder, a summer top, and even an entire shawl...from just thread. I can’t tell you how much fun the first class of students had creating with this book and some of the designs included in it.

Along with the multiple projects that are in the book, there is a CD-ROM containing a total of forty-one different embroidery designs. There are thirty-three files for creating beautiful crochet pieces that can be used in a myriad of different ways...and also eight vintage, floral designs for your embroidering pleasure and creativity. You will also find on the CD...the pictures that are printed here in the book. Why is that important? By having the pictures on the CD in JPEG format, you will be able to see the detail when you open them in any graphics program, including Microsoft Paint™. This will give much greater detail than just the small printed pictures available on the color pages.

Besides the great projects that are contained inside, there is a new addiction awaiting you...the heavier threads that comprise the pieces we will be making. Not only the new Sulky Cotton threads, but Perfect Quilter thread by Superior Threads, the 12 and 28 weight cotton Mako thread by Tristan Embroidery Supply and the Colours cotton quilting thread by YLI. All are exciting additions to your thread library. Each one has different colors, slightly different weights, textures and different color variegations. This is the beginning of many happy hours of creating with your sewing machine.

I hope you will enjoy creating some or all of the exciting new types of projects contained herein. I know you will find many to add to your gift giving list and maybe a few to keep for yourself. Happy Crocheting!
