The first thing to do when starting any knitting project is called "casting on" stitches. There are several ways to do this, and many helpful resources on the web to show you. One resource is http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/cast-on, which has videos of the various methods.

If you have a friend who knits, the easiest thing to do for your first knitting project is to ask them to cast on stitches for you. Or you can sometimes go to a local yarn store and get help from the people who work there - but it's polite to buy something first before asking for help from them for free!

Good luck!

How do change balls of wool when knitting a scarf?

When the first ball of wool is close to the end, change it. Just finish the row you are on, then instead of using the first ball of wool, start knitting the next row with the second one. Leave a little bit of wool from each skein hanging off of the end of the row, and after knitting a few stitches, you can tie the two pieces of wool together. When you are done making the scarf, you can cut off the loose pieces that are left over from making the knot.
