Thanks Heather, don't think I won't.
Can't remember the titles of the books (I am in the wrong office). One is Beginning Knitting, another is Everything Knitting, and the third is something like Knitting for Life. I checked out the Knitters Companion, but the directions were obscure (So what else is new). All these books are great, I am sure, once you get past stage one.

yours,
