In their New Year's Resolution feature, Style Substance Soul, an online community for women, has recommended Knitting 101 as a great resource for someone who wants to learn to knit.

"I love hand-knit sweaters - just not the ones that are hand-knit by me," said the writer." Sure, imperfections can add charm and character to homemade items but that doesn't mean you want to wear them! Designer Carri Hammett has created Knitting 101 for the absolute beginner, and it comes with both a fully-illustrated book and a DVD that provide step-by-step tutorials so you can see exactly how to purl or cast on. This set makes knitting the relaxing hobby it's supposed to be."
