Angèle Lumière learned to knit and crochet from her mother at a very young age and has been doing it with great passion ever since. By nature, she is very curious and creative and has always felt the need to create things with her hands. Angèle lives and breathe designing.
Angèle is inspired by the sea, the ebb and flow of the waves, flowing water, the leaves of plants and trees, dancing in the clouds and thinks that crochet is a kind of meditation that helps us feel better and be happier.
One day, she thought it would be interesting to share her crochet designs, so she set the challenge to draw and explain her creations and patterns in three languages (Spanish, French, and English), using international symbols to reach as many people as possible that are interested in crochet.
You can find Angèle Lumière on her blog, on Ravelry, on Etsy and on Facebook.
The shell stitch is a must-learn for every crocheter as it is one of the easiest ways to create a lace-like openwork fabric with crochet. The shell stitch probably gets it’s name from the shape of this stitch being similar to that of a scallop shell that you’d find on the beach. It’s fitting that, this stitch tends to make breezy and delicate designs that are perfect for letting that ocean air sweep you away.
