How to do a Shell Stitch
This is from a book that was published in 1980. ( Yes I keep all my Crochet Books,lol)

Make a foundation chain of 25 stitches ( or other multiple of 6 stitches plus 1) for practice piece.
1st Row: work 2dc in 4th chain from hook (half shell made), skip 2 ch, sc in next ch, *skip 2 ch, work 5dc all in next ch (shell made), skip 2 ch, sc in next ch. Repeat from * across, ch 3, to turn.
2nd Row: Work 2dc in first sc ( half shell), skip 2 dc of shell, sc in next dc, * skip 2dc of same shell, work shell ( 5dc) in next sc, skip 2dc of next shell, sc in next dc. Repeat from * across, working last sc in top of turning ch. Ch 3, turn. Repeat 2nd Row for pattern.

Friday!!!!!!
Hello everyone,
Here it is Friday, one more day to work this week. Then crochet time. One of my daughter's is coming to visit this weekend so I probably won't get much crocheting done. I found a baby sweater set pattern that uses "cross" stitches. You skip a stitch, dc in next three stitches then go back to the skipped stitch and do a dc around all three stitches. This stitch is in a Leisure Arts book. It looks really nice when done. The book is called Baby Layettes and Afghans, and the set is called Lacy-Soft Layette. I will post a picture of it when I finish it. Have you noticed any stores that have Christmas items out yet? Well, where I work (Home Hardware) we started to put ours out already. It is really hard to think Christmas when it is in the 80 degrees above outside. Thinking Christmas does not make it any cooler.
Till next time, take care and Happy Crocheting.
