Knitting

I've decided to try knitting.  I've bought some wool and a basic sock pattern  (I know socks aren't the easiest thing to start with, but they're small and I fancy giving it a try).

I have successfully knitted a jumper and a cardigan in the past, but that was mumblety years ago.  Thus, I feel the need to pretty much start again from scratch - I can't even remember what the instructions in a pattern mean (though they'll probably come back relatively easily).

What would people recommend as a web site to show techniques of casting on, basic interpretation of patterns and how to do things like adding/joining stitches.

Also, am I better going with the English knitting that I remember, or trying to learn how to knit Continental?
