I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.
Not every stitch in a row need be knitted; some may be left as is and knitted on a subsequent row. To achieve the garter stitch, either knit or purl every row. Circular knitting is employed to create pieces that are circular or tube-shaped, such as hats, socks, mittens, and sleeves.
Knitting yarns do not have to be expensive. This bag need not be some expensive item any medium size cloth bag will suffice. Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns.
But, that's the essence of knitting. Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important.
