You turn any canvas while doing any embroidery to avoid building tension in any single direction. If you have your work oriented in a single direction, it will curl up perpendicular to the direction you have had your work oriented. Frequent small turns will avoid curling and help you create a much more satisfactory result.
Needlepoint gauge number is equivalent to the number of cross-threads (or stitches) in a linear inch. So 1 square inch of 14 mesh canvas will need 196 (14 x 14) stitches. http://needlepoint.about.com/od/needlepointdefinitionsgl/g/Gauge.htm
Canvas paper is a paper that is textured to simulate the kind of canvas oil painters use to paint upon. You can paint upon it without any sort of special preparation. I use it as an inexpensive way to practice painting. I like it because it can be cut to any size.
it is feeling nonsense to give this answer because for what are you only doing here
Check ebay. Mary Engelbreit is currently without a needlepoint stocking manufacturer. I'm sure she'll make them again at some point in the future.
Its the size of the canvas, for instance 12x24 would be a 12" by 24" sized canvas.

Counted needlepoint, like counted cross stitch, is done using a chart that shows every stitch you will be making, and each stitch corresponds to a thread on the canvas. You count the number of threads across or down the canvas, and you place the stitches on the threads according to the chart. For instruction on how to do counted needlepoint, choose from one of these sites: http://www.needlepointers.com/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=837

Needlepoint on very large count canvas. Stitches are large and therefore the project can be done quicker. That is why it is called quickpoint.
