Let's start with some basic patterns. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
On the right side, the visible portions of the loops are the verticals connecting two rows, arranged in a grid of V shapes. In lace knitting, the pattern is formed by making small, stable holes in the fabric, generally with yarn overs.

I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. The other advantage is that these patterns are in effect free. Now wind your yarn over cross of two needles, over the right hand needle.
Yarn for hand-knitting is usually sold as balls or skeins (hanks), although it may also be wound on spools or cones. If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun.
You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be. So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting.
