Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles.
Knitting may be hand made or machine made. The opposing twist relieves some of the yarns' tendency to curl up and produces a thicker, balanced yarn. If they are not secured, the loops of a knitted course will come undone when their yarn is pulled; this is known as ripping out or unravelling knitting.
All other patterns emerge from these few stitches. I knit everything through the back loop, the result a twisted stitch which worked wonderfully with the yarn I was using. Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work.
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores.
