Often times, when trying to decipher a pattern, I'll find myself stuck on a stitch I'm unfamiliar with or terminology I don't know.
When I encounter this problem, I turn to my trusty friend, about.com.
Try both knitting.about.com and crochet.about.com to find answers when you need them, not only do they often have wonderful free patterns and projects, but their search function is top notch and I always find a tutorial on what I'm looking for on the first try.
Hope it helps you all!
