Shell Stitches 00011 and 11000

I'm back from vacation, and it was a great one!  Here's the next installment in this series consisting of stitches 00011 and 11000.  I worked these with different yarns and they came out looking remarkably different.  The purple yarn I used for 00011 was thinner, softer, and somewhat stretchy, so the definition of the stitch was lost to some degree.  The only difference should be the edges, like in previous stitches.  00011 has more solid edges than 11000.  The brown one is made from I Love this Yarn, which lets you see the zigzagging stripes inherent in the stitch.  I like both of the stitches, neither was particularly difficult or awkward.  I prefer the finished look of the brown one, but I think that is just due to the yarn I used.  Yarn choice does matter!  I like the more solid edges of 00011. 
Anyway, here's how to do these:
Stitch 00011:
Chain a multiple of 6 + 5
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, (sk 2, 2 dc in next ch, ch 3, sk 2, sc) across, 3 dc in last ch
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc, (2 dc in sc, ch 3, sc in ch 3 sp) across, 3 dc in last sc

Repeat Row 2 for pattern

Stitch 11000:
Chain a multiple of 6 + 5
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, (sk 2, ch 3, 2 dc in next ch, sk 2, sc) across, (ch 2, dc) in last ch
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc, (ch 3, 2 dc in sc, sc in ch 3 sp) across, (ch 2, dc) in last sc

Repeat Row 2 for pattern
