Finally I've found the best place to learn knitting after scouring the web for countless knitting video tutorials  and charts. The search is over I think.
 
I like the look and the fresh, youthful vibe of  Wool and the Gang. I like the fact that the name is a meta reference to one of my favorite 80's music acts.

You can learn knitting techniques via video tutorials or memo sketch. They also have a cool blog!
