Merry Christmas to all! So, I had so many issues simply trying to cast on with my Sentro 48. I finally gave up, donated it to Goodwill and bought an Addi King Express. Casting on was a breeze - I had about three false starts as I was somehow knitting in my yarn tail. Once I got everything figured out, I went to town with my first project. I have no idea what it is and there are some mistakes, but whatever it is, it's mine!
