Well, I'm getting better at it but still doing something wrong. I found another video on You Tube that helped me a lot to identify what stitches to pick up around the tab to form the foot.
http://mercedesknits.com/2012/02/01/tutorial-how-to-pick-up-on-garter-stitch-edge/. It still doesn't look right to me but I'm learning. Something else I'm learning is the weight of the yarn makes a big difference! The pattern called for a fingering weight yarn. According to this chart, that's what I used in my last attempt. As you can see the results in my previous post....not too good.
The legging above is made on #3 needles with light worsted yarn and it seems so much better and so much easier to work with. Wish mom was here to help. There's a local knitting group at the library (wonder if I could get them to help me lol). Anyway, getting tired of the leggings.....going to move onto the bonnet. I was kinda wishing the BIG snowstorm they were predicting (TITAN) was going to snow me in so I would have nothing else to do but knit lol. They were predicting 12" at first here in PA, then 4-6". No such luck! So far we got just 2". Only 17 more days to spring.
