Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl.
The lower red course is knit into the white row below it and is itself knit on the next row; this produces stockinette stitch. People who knit are skilled at juggling both these tasks and also switching yarn in order to add color to their blankets. A second potential difficulty is that the knitted piece will slide off the tapered end of the needles when unattended; this is prevented by "point protectors" that cap the tapered ends.
Since a typical piece of knitted fabric may have hundreds of wales, warp knitting is typically done by machine, whereas weft knitting is done by both hand and machine. Laces are provided from Iceland and Estonia. All other patterns emerge from these few stitches.
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
