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!

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.
Loralee,
Welcome!
We have two options for more stitches, 300 and 500 stitches across. We call these Premier features, and we've introduced them with nominal costs; 300 stitches across carries an introductory price of $2.99 for one year, and 500 stitches across carries an introductory price of $4.99 for one year.
You can read more about it and other features we currently offer (we have over 100 planned features in addition to that!), and you can also subscribe on this page:

How adorable that must be, to see Jamie pulling Marcus on his bike!
Without a doubt, she's a
sweetheart.
Oh, no, they're using those carriages for dogs?! Facepalm. I'm guessing the reason they were developed for cats is because of the way cats behave...going by the way our girl behaved when we took her outside. She walked a few steps. Stopped. Sat down. Ate grass. Sniffed the air.
This entire process repeated itself endlessly, until she was either ready to go in...or we were. I was telling a woman's mom about it, because she wants to put her cat on a harness and walk her around the neighborhood. I had to tell her to be careful, because she was picturing what we were...the kitty would enjoy a nice walk through the neighborhood, but that wasn't what happened, not even once.
Of course, it would be uncharacteristic for a dog to do that...they love to run and jump all over, and why shouldn't they be allowed to do that?!
I would say to price Fireline Crystal. There may be a dealer who sells it in your area. Of course, knowing the high prices you guys pay for everything
, it really could be expensive.
Not that it's what I would
call "cheap" here, though guessing it might be a slightly better
price here.
Unfortunately the cheaper fishing lines here are the ones that aren't at all suitable for beadweaving.
Hugs,
Melanie

Glad to hear that more experienced people do the same 
Read a lot of opinions on hoop/no hoop, but in the end decided to
go with what sounds reasonable to me.
Read a lot of opinions on hoop/no hoop, but in the end decided to
go with what sounds reasonable to me.By the
way, it is really nice that you comment and give advice on all
these posts Melanie. It makes it much more fun to post these
updates, knowing I wont just be yelling into the void.
Another week has gone by, so here is where I am at
now:
A fair bit extra and I have put in
some serious hours too. I really wanted to get to the lady herself
and also to have a break from the gray tones. Which is why I have
sort of worked diagonally upwards.
I was
quite surprised that the main colour in the cape is 154 - Grape
(heheh, that rhymed). Its more purple than red. But next to the
other main colours in the cape it looks nice, so I am reserving
judgement until I have a bigger patch done.
The work continues and hopefully I will have another
update in a week.

It would be super cool if the PatternWizard could generate
patterns for C2C graphagans.
