Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! 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!
In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. Double-pointed knitting needles usually come in sets of four (US size 1, on right) or five (US size 8, on left). In plying, two or more yarns are spun together, almost always in the opposite sense from which they were spun individually; for example, two Z-twist yarns are usually plied with an S-twist.
You could end up so good at it, and love it so much that you could start your own business. The thickness of the yarn may vary along its length; a slub is a much thicker section in which a mass of fibers is incorporated into the yarn. Extra curvature can be introduced into knitted garments without seams, as in the heel of a sock; the effect of darts, flares, etc.
Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students! Knit it like you would knit any stitch.
