Please put me on your ping list! Got started to seriously crochet when I retired recently. Grandmother taught e when I was 8 or 9, didn’t do it for decades, and now I’m back. There are some GREAT YT tutorials out there —love Jayda in Stitches. Can you provide the patten or video for your cowel pictured above —looks like a stitch I’m familiar with!

Welcome! I added you to the ping list!
I wanted to learn the shell stitch (so easy!) because my Grandma used it in a lot of scarves and headbands and afghans when I was growing up. This is the guideline I use. I use a J hook with 32 chains to start, though, as they say - Check Your Gauge! ;)
