Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. Let's start with some basic patterns.
Once the knitted piece is finished, the remaining live stitches are "cast off. This can be obtained with short rows or by increasing/decreasing the number of stitches. You will know how to do something that not many people know how to do, but might wish they did.
It is a very simple stitch and usually worked over a multiple of four stitches with two extra. You could even teach a "keep up" class where people who have completed all three classes meet once a month or bimonthly to keep in touch with knitting. Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit.
Thicker yarns generally require thicker knitting needles, whereas thinner yarns may be knit with thick or thin needles. The dye lot specifies a group of skeins that were dyed together and thus have precisely the same color; skeins from different dye-lots, even if very similar in color, are usually slightly different and may produce a visible stripe when knitted together.
You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality. It will just some time at the beginning, but you will learn and get experience.
