If you know the basics, then you can do the more difficult stuff. All you need is a pattern book that includes the basic stitches. When you use more advanced books, you can always refer back to you basic manual to see what they're talking about. I learned the basics from my grandmother at 16 then taught myself how to follow any pattern in my 20s after not crotching much in between.
As for knitting, I'm pondering trying to teach myself how to do it. I learned the basics at 16 but just didn't get into it.
