New Crochet Shell Patterns

This week, my crochet efforts have been devoted to playing around with the shell stitch. I'm convinced that I could spend the rest of my life crocheting different variations of shells, and I still wouldn't run out of interesting things to try. Here are some of the stitches and patterns I've discovered:

• Treble Crochet Shell Stitch
• Lacy Treble Shell Stitch (pictured)
• Lacy Treble Shell Dishcloth Pattern -- I think this is a great way to try out the stitch; better to make a useful project than it is to just make a swatch, don't you agree?

I have several more projects like these in the works, so please be sure to check back soon to get the free crochet patterns!
