The Next Step.....

So, I finally got enough stitches on my circular needle to join the ends so I can start knitting in the round! One problem (or is that yet another problem?), how to join the two ends with the "steek stitch". If I understand it correctly, the steek stitch is an extra stitch. Hmmmmm, how to add a stitch. I think it means to cast on the extra stitch(es) at this point. Let me try it and I will get back to you.
