New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Elaine,
Thanks for checking in with us!
We don't have a specific date at this
time.
Chris,
This is one of the best tutorials I've found, if you're not specifically looking for a video:
http://www.dummies.com/crafts/crocheting/how-to-carry-yarn-in-crochet/
I like the illustrations because they make the steps very clear!
It's not hard to strand in this manner and will give the piece a much more polished appearance when it's finished than if you cut the yarn and work the ends in later. Sure, it's a bit more trouble, but worth it, IMO. Though double crochet is shown in the illustrations, single crochet is the same thing, just with a shorter stitch, and you should be able to strand exactly the same way.
Debbie,
No problem...I don't have any way of knowing when links are no longer available, so your mention of it helps tremendously...thanks!
I'll try to also update the
original link.
LOL! Well, maybe you could make them with...never mind, I got nothing.
Hopefully staring at them
won't be too harmful...but I must have already gained 5 pounds from
that. 
Debbie,
You're welcome! The cowl tutorial is definitely a good stepping stone for other tutorials.
Once people see how easy it
is, I can't imagine they won't be able to figure out how to start
designing their own...how exciting! 
Welcome!
How cool that you've not only been crocheting but are also teaching people to crochet, as well!
What's crocheting if it
can't be shared?
What have you made? Feel free to share your pics, so we can all drool!
