Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone.
Some people prefer circular needles because they are more comfortable to use and you can knit both in the round or back and forth like straight needles. Knitting clubs have sprung up in recent years which may be worth investigating if there is no one else who can teach the art of knitting. They were like made by true artistic vision and intellect.
Once you learn these two stitches you will find everything else is just a variation of the knit and purl stitches. Knitting a wool blanket will probably take a person many tries, but in the end if they can stick to practicing, they will become a good knitter. William Lee, who invented the first knitting machine in 1589, also made a knitting frame which was so effective that few improvements were needed for 250 years.
Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
