Diagonal Box Stitch Shrug

I'm still making projects in Diagonal Box Stitch.  This time, it's a shrug.  I have a small amount of leftover glitter (metallic) yarn by this yarn company, called Bonbons "party".  I just have enough to trim the neckline and bottom edge of the shrug.  I would have trimmed the sleeves also, but I did not have enough.  The main fabric is made with 1 skein (315 yds, 6 oz) yarn from.  Crochet hook used is size:  5.00mm.  The shrug size is small.

Continues Crochet -- Six-Petaled flower Motif

Whatever happened to this project?  It is finished.  The rectangular scarf measures 14" W by 45" L.


This project is complicated but fun to make.  I still have to write the pattern.

Work Log

I have lots of crochet projects that I want to do for 2013 so I developed a Work Log Calendar that would help me in recording the number of hours each day and month that I spend on any project.  The sample Work Log Calendar is shown below:

Diagonal Box Stitch In Color

WIP--Making the Diagonal Box Stitch in Color.  In this project I'm using Lion Brand Vanna's glamour which is a fine yarn category (2).  The crochet hook I'm using is 3.75 mm Boye aluminum hook. I change the color of yarn in each row, alternating the two colors.  I do not break the yarn to start the new color.  I simply leave one yarn at one end while I work on the other color at the opposite side.
