This lady knits English style (not the way I teach), but that doesn’t matter. Notice how i-cord requires double pointed or circular needles. You knit three stitches, then push down to the end of the needle and knit from there. The first stitch of every row will be pulling the yarn from the last stitch on the needle. Try it a few times and you’ll get the hang of it. Felt this cord in the washing machine and you’ll have a nice strong strap for a bag.

from Crafts Americana is a good investment. Interchangeable circulars are really a necessity of you plan on becoming a knitter. They may seem expensive, but you'll end up spending this much on individual needles that will sit in your drawer for years after you finally decide to buy this set. :) I've tried other brands over the years, and this really is my favorite.
This first book has a lot of knitting stitches and patterns that can be applied to hats or scarves or place mats, etc. I love browsing through this book and trying new things.
The above is spiral bound so it lays open, leaving your hands free to knit as you follow instructions. It's very clear and concise. I like that.
This book teaches you knitting techniques as you make different squares. The squares can then be joined to make an afghan. I learned to knit with this book and have adapted the squares into pillow and hat designs.
Everything you need to know about yarn and all the choices out there!
