What does it mean if you have holes in your knitting?
it means you have either added yarn overs or dropped stitches. it might mean you are a beginner or it might mean you are knitting lace and want the holes. or that you are knitting on needles slightly larger than you would use for a not holey fabric. P.S.: You are supposed to have holes in your knitting! The hole size is because the size of the needle. (ex: large size needles=large hole, small needle= small hole) Understand now?
How do needles affect the stitches?
I think what you are asking is how do the different size of needles affect the type of stitches you will get when knitting. Basically, the larger the needles the larger the stitches. Also, if you use smaller needles, the fabric you create will be stiffer than if you knitted with a large set of needles.
What are the knitting needles called which are connected and how do you use them?
They are called circular needles and they are used in exactly the same way as straight needles.
What will happen if you use knitting needles that are larger than the yarn instructions call for?
Your gauge will be different and the size of the garment will be different, unless you accommodate the larger needles with a new gauge, and recalculate the fit.
What is a crochet hook used for?

Do 2 pencils work the same as 2 knitting needles?

What size yarn is Unger cruise size 3 needles?
This question isn't very clear, as Unger Cruise is a Belgium made yarn, imported into the US (Unger yarns in New York). And yet, the question also mentions "size 3 [knitting] needles" which is a bit confusing without explanation as to why that is included A Cruise yarn skein is generally 1.4 ounces or 40 grams, 60% acrylic and 40% nylon. However, patterns found for this yarn generally use U.S. size 3 or size 4 needles and have a gauge of 19 stitches for 3 inches of knitting with 2 inches in height making 17 rows. Therefore, a size 3 knitting needle is perfectly fine to use with the Unger Cruise yarn.

Using plastic storage bins for your knitting notions?
A craft store, like Hobby Lobby or Joann's Fabrics has a variety of items for organizing knitting needles. Depending on the length of the various knitting needles, you might be able to gather them in a Pringles can if you don't want to purchase a roll-up organizer.
Can you use round needles in place of double pointed needles of the same size?
Note: round needles are almost always called circular knitting needles. In some cases, circular needles will work just as well as double pointed needles. But more often than not, only double pointed needles will work. Why? With double pointed needles, one can knit with as few stitches as they want. This makes them ideal for knitting the tops of hats, which are decreased to a very few number of stitches, and other items where few stitches are knitted. However, if one is knitting with a large number of stitches, then circular needles will work fine, maybe even better, but circular needles have a "minimum stitch limit." Thus, they only work if the pattern works with lots of stitches. So in order to figure out whether circular knitting needles will work for your pattern, read through the instructions, and determine the point at which there will be the least number of stitches on the double pointed needles. Try to estimate the lowest number of stitches that will work comfortably on the circular needles, and decide if the stitches in the pattern will fit on the circular needles.
Why do people use different sized knitting needles?
To increase the number of stitches per inch. That is, smaller needles produce a tighter woven piece, while larger needles produce a looser, more open woven piece.
Can you bring knitting needles on Icelandair?
I think you are allowed knitting needles in your luggage that goes into the plane hold (main luggage), but you are not allowed them in your hand luggage because they can be classed as dangerous. If you want to knit on the plane, I have used pens before. If you use some thin pens or pencils, that should work.
