Learning to Crochet

I am thinking of learning to crochet. Does anyone know of good online resources for doing that?

Crochet Cabana has great tutorials with step-by-step pics. Also some great projects.

Thank you for both suggestions! I have to admit, the crochet thing may turn out to be a whim. Really I just need to admit that I'm lamely coveting Jessica Simpson's shawl by Cecilia De Bucourt. The basic pattern seems to be here: http://hassdesign.com/DeltaCrochetTechniques/ although the photo that's there seems to be without the "puffs" that Cecilia's shawl has. Okay, who wants to make me one?

I'd highly recommend this book Crocheting in Plain English: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312014120/ref=pd_sim_books_1/102-0620392-2706559?v=glance&s=books

She's got a great sense of humor -- lets you know when to take a break and have a cup of coffee... she also wrote Knitting in Plain English.

Jess,

I am with you! I am also "lamely seeking" the Cecilia de Bucourt shawl ( but dont want to pay the $250.00) So, who wants to make me one too?!?
