Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting. Knit One Purl Two happens to be one of the most well known knitting terms, well known by non-knitters and knitters alike.
It is not done like knitting on needles, it is done on your fingers. During knitting, the active stitches are secured mechanically, either from individual hooks (in knitting machines) or from a knitting needle or frame in hand-knitting. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.
Different methods of casting on are used for different effects: one may be stretchy enough for lace, while another provides a decorative edging Provisional cast-ons are used when the knitting will continue in both directions from the cast-on. Each pattern requires that you knit a certain number of stitches using a particular yarn and a specified needle. The opposing twist relieves some of the yarns' tendency to curl up and produces a thicker, balanced yarn.
But, that's the essence of knitting. Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas.
