fumbly mess

ok my trying to cast on last nite never REALLY happened why? because i had a hard time with the turkish cast on. i can get to where i have to knit the 8 live stitches ok, but then it’s a fumbly mess starting from there and once i get it on all 3 dpn’s and mark the start it seems all twisted and weird and i lost my place and stuff. BUT i think this will be ok once i DO IT AGAIN. Actually i had to do this about 6 times and then i STILL have to do it more. it seems very easy it’s just not clicking with me yet. I think our beginner’s are going to be confused once they have to start with the DPN’s. BUT i could be very wrong. Ok so don’t feel bad if you can’t do the cast on. i couldn’t do it...i couldn’t do it 6 times. so i’m going to keep doing it and i know probably within the next few times it will just work out. it’s always like that with stuff i don’t get. *whew* back i go to trying this wacky cast on!

UPDATE***
ok i think all my grief is coming from NOT TAKING THE LIP KNOT OFF sheesh
i was just reading from erin’s pattern and not the tutorial. stupid slip knot!
