Only suggestion I have is when having difficulty getting yarn out of the center pull ball - rewind bt hand into a ball. Or instead of using ball winder use a nostepinnne.

Magic Loop
need at least a 40" cable
co # of stitches needed (lets say 60) - fold cable in 1/2 with needles held together. Split the stitches 30 onto each needle. MAKE SURE STITCHES ARE NOT TWISTED!!!
And that yarn tail is in the back.
Pull out back needle, enough to make a loop when using that needle to knit with - you will also have a loop on the other side of stitches.  Looking like a hourglass or figure 8 without the crossover.

Meegan- Spun a little on "Blankets" & got my Jenkins Turkish Delight Drop Spindle!

Startitis!
When you don't know what you want to cast-on, 1 option is to go with necessity - cast-on something you need!  Or option 2 is cast-on 1 of everything & see what you gravitate towards! :)

Spun up 1st bump & 1/2 of 2nd bump of my Christina Marie Potter Kaylee fiber.
Spinning wheel treadle was bumping on the frame when at the park but was fine at home so the ground must have been too uneven at the park.
