Stitch count problems

[esekeith]

I have been crocheting for ages (eons, really) but have only just started using bedspread weight thread. I keep messing up my stitch count. I'm having a hard time with the chain three as dc (or chain 1, 2, whatever) When I get to the end of a round I am not putting my hook in the right chain. I KNOW this but I keep messing up. I have tried marking the stitch. I don't skip stitches or increase in a stitch but end up with more or less than I should have. It's driving me nuts. I haven't had this kind of trouble for ages. This is D*U*M*B!! It's giving me gray(er) hair!!:grrrr
