1. Try knittinglibrary.co.uk for free patterns. Charity shops sometimes have patterns and knitting books if you have the time to search.
2. The Vogue Knitting book is fantastic. Look at it from the library to check it out, it is big and fairly expensive but has lots of good pictures. http://knittyboard.com/ http://www.freepatterns.com/

4. ...and don't forget about www.knittingpatterncentral.com ! Hundreds and hundreds of yummy patterns!!!
5. The Stitch N Bitch books by Debbie Stoller were a GREAT help when I was learning to knit: http://www.amazon.com/Stitch-N-Bitch-Knitters-Handbook/dp/0761128182/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0114737-6469519?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192208567&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Stitch-Bitch-Nation-Debbie-Stoller/dp/0761135901/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/104-0114737-6469519?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192208567&sr=8-2 Also, http://www.knittinghelp.com is a great online site that has knitting videos. I'd recommend using a decent yarn to learn on. Maybe wool or a blend. Cheap acrylic splits easily, which is annoying. Also, you may want to try bamboo needles. I tried forever to learn on metal, and I couldn't do it because it slid around too much. Bamboo has more grip. :) I learned the cast on and knit stitch from the Stitch N Bitch Handbook and knittinghelp.com. I took a class at Michael's to learn everything else, but I still refer to that site and my book. Good luck! Edit: It's editing out the name of the book, but if you go to Amazon, you can see it, hopefully. :) If not, just search for Debbie Stoller on Amazon, and they will come up.
6. I learned to knit 100% from the internet and books. Here are the websites & books I used: ~http://www.angelyarns.com/instructions/g... ~http://www.anniesattic.com/knitting/cont... ~http://www.learn-to-knit.com/ ~Teach Yourself Visually Knitting ~VOGUE KNITTING Beginner Basics On the Go! ~Knitting School: A Complete Course If I can do it, ANYONE can do it!
