I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
New wales can be begun from any of the edges of a knitted fabric; this is known as picking up stitches and is the basis for entrelac, in which the wales run perpendicular to one another in a checkerboard pattern. In weaving, the threads are always straight, running parallel either lengthwise (warp threads) or crosswise (weft threads). Double-pointed knitting needles usually come in sets of four (US size 1, on right) or five (US size 8, on left).
You can find circular knitting needles, double point knitting needles and also single pointed knitting needles made of different materials such as steel, wood or bamboo. Lace knitting is the relatively a new, hardly two hundred years old. A beginner is naturally clumsy because they are not comfortable with using two needles.
Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores. Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
