What does y2m mean in knitting?
In knitting, "y2m" stands for "yarn to marker." It typically indicates a technique where you bring the working yarn to the marker position on your knitting needle, usually when working in the round. This is often used to denote a specific point in a pattern, such as when increasing or decreasing stitches.
How to add colors while knitting in the round?
There are basically three ways to do two (or more) color knitting: 1. horizontal stripes 2. stranded knitting, such as fairisle or jacard 3. intarsia Intarsia in the round, while possible, is so incredibly frustrating you have to be a glutton for punishment to try it. Stranded knitting in the round is pretty much the same, or slightly easier than stranded knitting in the flat. So that leaves stripes in the round. The problem there is that each time you do a color change you get a little zig zag between the two colors that is unsightly. This is called a "jog." There are several techniques for avoiding jogs. There are links below to two of the most popular.
What is circular knit fabric?
Knitting is formed in one or a combination of two basic forms: flat or in the round. Flat knitting is typically done on straight needles and circular knitting is typically done on circular needles or double point needles. When people think of knitting in the round, typically they mean knitting a tube shape, such as a sock or hat. But it is also possible to knit actual circles instead of tubes, such as when one makes circular shawls, table cloths, or doilies. Whether knitting a tube or a flat circle, the technique is the same. The difference is that in tube knitting few if any increases or decreases are made and in knitting a flat circle increases must be made such that as the radius of the circle doubles the number of stitches on the needle also double. Mathematically, it looks like this: c = 2 * pi * r, where c is the circumference and r is the radius. The ratio of the circumference to the radius must always remain 2 * pi or the piece will not remain flat.
Why is french knitting so called?

Is there such a thing as a beginners knitting pattern for socks?
Yes and no. Socks aren't really a beginning project, but there are sock patterns suited for a person first learning to knit socks but who already has some experience. At some point a pair of socks is going to require knitting in the round, which is generally considered an intermediate skill. A sock not knit in the round at least for the foot area will have a seam that is likely to cause discomfort. Either increases or decreases will be required, which are advanced beginner skills. To avoid frustration, learn knitting in the round, increases, decreases, and either short rows or the kitchner stitch before tackling socks.
What is modular knitting?
Modular knitting is a form of knitting that involves knitting small geometric shapes that are pieced together into a larger product. The most intriguing feature of modular knitting is perhaps the varying directions in which the stitches move and interweave with each other. Entrelac, another knitting method, is similar to modular knitting.
Are sock knitting machines circular knitting machines?
No, they are not.
