Knitting argh!!!!

I am attempting to knit a prem baby cardigan (starting small lol).  I have knit the back ok and now onto the front.  But I just cannot seem to get it right.  I keep ending up with too many stitches.  I really want to do it and see it through to the end.  I guess I need to persevere lol  Don't get me talking about crocheting, as I cannot do that at all.  Other than a single chain, which I can do for miles and miles lol x
