How do you go from having the slipknot on both needles to having the slipknot only on the left? Nobody ever says how to do that.

I know you're supposed to wrap yarn around the needle from back to front to make a loop. HOW? It isn't a loop when just draping the yarn over the needle, it doesn't DO anything!

As you might be able to tell, I'm finding this incredibly frustrating
