Morning has come.

The blind rage and the hard-to-supress urge to jam the crochet needles into somebody's eye (preferribly mine) has faded to a dull twitch.

I have, indeed, learned how to make the starting chain (thank you all).

I do, indeed, apologize for the incredible amount of swears in that post... if anyone has stress-relieving tips for use during the craft-making process, you should make a book and sell it, I'd be buyin'.

But now, although I am calmer in the light of day, a new problem arises:

Turning the chain.

I practiced the chain all nite. It looks fabulous. It is a fabulous lil' chain. But that's ALL it is and when I try to do the "turning the chain" stitches, it makes a bit knot-ball. Is there something off about the tension in my chain or...??? I dunno... anybody got any pointers?
