You will get this to work, I'm sure.

Salmonmac has the right of it, start small. And practice squares, if small enough, make excellent coasters. Think of each square/coaster as the project. About 20 sts cast on is a good size in worsted.
I still have the first stockinette square I knit (to be honest I was so happy to have finished it I cried from sheer joy), squares from getting the hang of different ribs, from learning to work a cable, and my favorite, my first practice mitten! They are my personal coasters and every time I use one, the best reminder of how far I've come and that I REALLY did learn to knit.
Please don't get discouraged, you'll get there. There are no knitting police and the only competition is with yourself.
