Well, I love my little sock book (it looks like a sock) and has very good pictures and descriptions and tips. And nice patterns for several socks. You might want to invest in that, it's not much $.
I'm sure everyone will point you to silver's sock tutorial, I don't know where it is but ... someone will. Good luck!

If you don't know how to knit in the round the videos here would be a good place to start.
Search "Silver's Sock Tutorial" it will come up in search engines. I saved it so I could change it because the background wasn't friendly to my eyes/migraines, so I don't have the link handy either.

I had been knitting for a lot of years but had never been brave enough to try knitting socks. Silver's Tutorial made it possible for me to be addicted to sock knitting. Now I always have a sock OTN.
Good luck and Happy

As you can see everyone has pointed you in the right direction...."Silver's Sock Class" If you are on Ravelry you can get to it through "My first Sock-along" group.
It's what I used for my first pair of socks, the pictures are good and very detailed intructions.
Good luck! You can do it!

I have to agree about Silver's Sock Class...Last night, for the very first time, I tried to knit a sock...By this afternoon, I have the hang of it and have realized it's not as intimidating as I had imagined it would be! And I watched Amy's video for knitting with DPNs since I had never before knit with more than 2 needles at a time.
