Seriously. Be amazed. Pricey volume, though, even used.
I personally recommend The Sweater Workshop by Jacqueline Fee. Even if you're not going to actually knit sweaters, it will teach you so much that you'll begin to become fearless. The "sweater sampler" method she offers is definitely an outside-the-box approach.
She teaches clearly and with common sense and tells you things you should know about knitting that other sources simply gloss over. Her narrative style is pleasant and unforced.
Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Without Tears is often cited as one of the best, but though I own it, I don't much care for it. To each her own, I suppose.
