i actually don't think that the kitchen cotton is the best to start with -- it's splitty and can get really tight.
i'd probably start with some cheap acrylic (like red heart) and 8's or 9's, especially since i've noticed that beginners tend to knit *tight*.
also, attempting anything beyond simple garter on your first project is recipe for disaster. at least, that's my experience.
