http://www.cogknition.org/crochet/crochet/ I knit (and crochet! and sew!), therefore I blog.

I do this every time I try to make a nice plains square of crochet. I short one end and over shoot the other end and then I have parellelograms. I now only do patterned crochet, that way I know how many repeats of the pattern I will need and I'm sure at the end of each row that all is well. I feel your pain.

The turning chain is what StacyZ is talking about, and in order for your piece to be square you have to stitch into that chain. I can't at the moment think of a good online tutorial/pictorial demonstrating this. If I do, I'll pass it along. Good luck! Are you working a stitch into the “turning chain”?

It had me occupied for over two years exclusively, before I started knitting. Try out www.micromacrame.com for some inspiration (they're slow to update, but if you dig around there are some gorgeous examples).

Well Actually you add however many stitches you are doing for the stitch type on the end so if it is double crochet then chain two stitches if it is single chain one. I don't know much but I know that you have to add more on the end to make up the height of the stitch. I did the same exact thing as you when I was learning (many years ago). Sorry I am not more of a help. You need to add one extra stitch on the end.
