Knitter Review
You will find forums, yarn and book reviews and much more on this site.
Ravelry is the Facebook for knitters, crocheters, designers and other fiber artists. You can keep track of your stash, patterns and library of books, as well as track your current and finished projects. Everything is user driven and the more you post, the more you contribute to the overall community. It's a great place to get inspiration from other knitters and to find yarn and patterns across the globe.
Can't remember how to SSK? Need to know how to do the cable cast on? This lady has free online videos of various knitting techniques.
Yarndex
This is an incredible database of yarn that allows you to search by yarn name, fiber and guage. Great tool to figure out what yarn would be a substitute for the one in your pattern.
Finally, an explanation for terms like "worsted" and "dk." Check out this great chart of all yarn weight standards.
