When you stop part way across a row and turn back toward the other end, you create a short row. By carefully planning your short rows, you can make your knitting take on a three-dimensional shape. For example, short rows can be used to make the heel of a sock or to ease a sweater at the back of the neck or at the bust.
The problem with turning back in the middle of a row is that it leaves an unsightly hole in your knitting, even when you return and knit all of the stitches in the next row. There are three popular solutions to this hole problem. The most popular of those is to wrap a stitch before turning, and then pick up that wrap the next time you knit the wrapped stitch.
It sounds much more complicated than it really is. Check knittinghelp.com which has video clips of techniques like this. Look for instructions on "short rows" and "wrapped stitches" and you should get the picture.
