[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet help?

[Blindhands at aol.com]

When doing a chain stitch you only have 1 loop on your hook .  The  motion 
is to grab the yarn and pull a new loop into the loop on the hook,  pulling 
this new loop thru the loop on the hook.  The rest of the chain  dangle down 
from the hook.  It is best to hold onto the chain between your  thumb and 
middle finger on your left hand if you are right handed to help create  some 
tension to work with.  You don't have to hang onto it for dear life,  just 
hold it and you will continue to slide up as you make and add more chains  to 
your work.

What  should it look like when I get it? Do the stitches hang down 
from the hook  or stay on the hook? How many loops should be on the 
hook at once?
Not  sure if I get it sometimes or not.
