Yarn forward
I am currently taking care of my brother as he undergoes cancer treatment and decided it would be a good time to learn knitting. I have been playing and have done well with knit, purl and even did a decent looking cable.

In thinking about actually starting a project, I looked at the instructions and the first term which I am not sure of is yarn forward. Does this just mean to bring the yarn to the front of the needle as you would for purl?

It's another way of saying Yarn Over, but yes, you'd bring the yarn to the front of your work. then, most likely you're gonna knit the next stitch, which will create a little hole there.
