I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric from a one-dimensional yarn or thread.
All knitting instructions use basically two stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. A second potential difficulty is that the knitted piece will slide off the tapered end of the needles when unattended; this is prevented by "point protectors" that cap the tapered ends. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.
Sport weight yarns are also used in the machine. Start with the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand. Knitters have developed methods for giving the illusion of a circular wale, such as appear in Celtic knots, but these are inexact approximations.
It will just some time at the beginning, but you will learn and get experience. Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project.
