Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD. 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.
The color-scheme of a yarn is sometimes called its colorway. Some yarns are dyed to be either variegated (changing color every few stitches in a random fashion) or self-striping (changing every few rows). It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist.
Stitch holders, which come in various lengths and are similar to safety pins, knitting counters are small devices that are slipped over the point of the needle and are very convenient for keeping track of rows, especially for larger items like sweaters and afghans. There are different patterns and ways to knit socks, using the machine. The darning needle is useful when tucking in those loose ends if you prefer instead of the crochet hook.
It will just some time at the beginning, but you will learn and get experience. Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns.
