Crochet?

I'm attempting to teach myself tubular bead crochet. This is interesting because, despite my craftiness, I never mastered basic crochet techniques. Here is a picture of my first attempt. It is a little sloppy, I'm still learning. Also, I'm using crummy beads because I don't want to waste my good beads on a practice project.

This YouTube video-* Bead Crochet YouTube *- was the best help! I usually can't stand to watch videos, I'd rather read written instructions but this one is done so well (and has printable instructions if needed) that I watched it twice!
