1. There's a number of good books - in fact, a glut - but I'd recommend three by Sally Melville: The Knit Stitch, the Purl Stitch, and Colour. She's the best teacher I've encountered; it would be seriously difficult to make mistakes after taking her lessons.
2. i know 2 ways to knit - cross stitch needle point to do these research
3. you can search for free knitting patterns. there is usually a section that will show how to do different stitches. This is what I do for crochet. Lion Brand Yarn has lots of patterns you just need to do a free registration.
4. http://knittinghelp.com It has free patterns (labeled with experience level needed) along with videos for many of the techniques you may not know or need a refresher on.

These sites have several different patterns to choose from and they are free. Some of these sites even tell you step by step intructions.
6. Read books duh.
