picking up the dusty needles?

This was spurred on by my love and obsession of the Weasley sweaters that dear Molly Weasley makes for the kids for Christmas. I do so want one.

So, is it time for me to test the waters of knitting once more? I am enamored with the look and feel of knit sweaters, and I know that a crochet sweater won't have the same feel. So, do I suck it up and crochet a sweater?

Or do I finally take the dive, and further my knitting skills? I admit, whenever I look at knitting patterns, I become intimidated. Bind off 18 stitches, place 12 on stitch holder, bind off remaining...Huh? I try to visualize the instructions, but I only manage to become more confused. Does anyone have a good video tutorial, or maybe a detailed photo tutorial?

Will post more on the potential knitting later.
