Definitely not THAT good

Okay, so the cast on for the Shining Star is kicking my ass.

You have to cast on 5 stitches. Then put one on each of 5 dpns. Then you immediately start YOing and I can't figure out how to keep so few stitches tight and in a circle and not falling off and not making me want to rip my freakin hair out by the roots swear like a sailor.

I may have to find a Plan B hat.

I wonder if I could knit it backwards...Hmmm....no, I am definitely not that good.
