Ok, it's be established that I can't knit. I am bound and determined to learn. So tonite I decided to cast on a washcloth and try again. Well, I can't knit. I can cast on - but I can't even get one row done. The cast on is so tight, I can barely get the needle thru to do a stitch. I tried twice - with the same results. Hopefully someone can tell me how not to cast on so tight. So, after failing to knit, I started a crochet washcloth. In bright yellow - so cheerful.
On the cross stitch front, (will try to post a picture tomorrow) I'm caught up with my Lizzie Kate ornaments - at least with stitching them, still have to put the together. I'm also doing a 'Our 1st Christmas' to give at a bridal shower next month. Am going to try to make 2 and give one to Alicia and Evan with their wedding gift - don't tell Ann.

I have the same problem with my cast on row. It also can be the type of cast on you are using. I sugget a long tail cast on. If that doesn't help, I know a couple of other tricks to help with that first row. Come on... Lauren's knitting cables, we'll bring you into the fold yet!!!
You can trying casting on with a bigger needle or holding two needles together and then pulling the one out and your stitches will be looser. Good Luck and keep trying.
