Turning chains when knitting?

Hi,
I’m more of a crocheter.
I was just curious—how do you gain height at the beginning of a row when knitting? Are there turning chains, or is it done differently?

I’ve never really gotten very far with knitting, so I have no idea.
It would be great if someone could explain this to me.
I actually have circular needles here, and I wanted to give it a try.
Do you also need something to gain height when knitting in the round, or is that—if at all—only necessary when knitting in rows?

Wendeluftmaschen, das brauchst Du beim Häkeln. Beim Stricken hat man Randmaschen.
Hier wird das beschrieben: http://www.stricken-erlernen.de/Randmasche-stricken/
Besser als ich das in Worte fassen könnte, auch ein Video ist dabei.
Die Maschenhöhe regulierst Du durchs Fadenanziehen, fest oder eben locker(-er)

danke :) vielleicht wird das ja doch noch was mit meiner Strickerei, irgendwann
falls ich das mit dem Maschenanschlag beim Stricken mal hinkrieg, ohne das das Zeug wieder weg rutscht. oder fest hängt.

naja, ich übe ja schon. mehr oder weniger fleißig. =)
Seit ich diese Handarbeitsbücher habe, haben sich manche meiner Fragen beantworten lassen.
Es ist halt auf die Dauer schon etwas umständlich, wenn man sich im Internet Informationen zusammensuchen muss. Da ein netter Happen und da noch einer. Aber so richtig umfassende Antworten auf meine Fragen hab ich bisher noch auf keiner einzigen Seite gefunden, ich musste halt immer mehrere Seiten nutzen. Dafür gibts bei den Büchern eben andere Schwierigkeiten. Aber eben, manchmal ist es ganz gut, wenn man was Gedrucktes in der Hand hat. Diese Bücher sind wohl ziemlich beliebt. Wundert mich etwas, dass gerade in Zeiten, wo doch jeder Internet hat, so was immer noch gefragt ist. Aber ich finds gut, dass es das gibt.
