Flowers Of Spring Beaded Crochet Jewelry #1

This is my first attempt in making crocheted jewelry.

Thread Crochet Shawl #1

 

Photos of the finished "Thread Crochet" shawl.

It had been in a UFO status for 2 years.  I finally finished it today.  Please read my post titled, "Thread Crochet",  for more info about this project.  It took approximately 13 balls, 120 yds each to make this shawl.  It is made for small size with the width of the shawl covering from neck to waistline.  One important note about this project for future reference is: To attach new ball of yarn at the edge of the project, leaving enough tails to hide under the finishing round (around the edge of the shawl).  This way all the joined ends are securely hidden underneath single crochet stitches and there is no chance of the connecting knots to be undone during use and/or maintenance.

 

Diagonal Box Stitch Cowl/Scarf v1 -- Zoe's Method

This Project is done to test the crochet pattern that I wrote. This is a small scarf. It is funny that I always started with making a cowl but I ended up making a scarf instead. I don't like the idea of seaming the scalloped edge of the scarf because I think the scallop edge is pretty. Also, because the scarf is small or narrow at the neck, it is better to leave the front neck open.

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.
