I think that knitting is easier to learn when you don't know either. The best book for learning is "Knitting for Dummies." It's a great book for learning simple stitches.
I have a great yarn store by me where the owner teaches you if you buy your yarn at the store. It's the greatest!
I learned to crochet over Christmas. It goes quickly after you learn but I think the stitches are harder to learn that knitting is.
I am so happy not to be the only knitter on GC!
