    HL,
    Here is a free online tutorial that should easily get you started.

    I posted this last year in another thread. I think the links still work.

    Here are a few books I'd recommend:

    Sally Melville's Knitting Experience Series starting with the Knit Stitch:

    Stitch & B**tch has some funky projects
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/076...lance&n=283155

    Good basic book by Debbie Bliss with a more traditional theme
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157...Fencoding=UTF8

    Of course, a beginner's class at your local shop is great because they'll help you decipher the confusing world of needle size and type, yarn type, gauge, etc., etc., etc.

    I had a great book of Bliss's patterns for kids sweaters, and checked out her other books from the library.
