I taught myself from Barbara Walker's Learn-To-Knit Afghan Book, and I very much recommend it. The afghan in question is a sort of sampler, constructed from a set of squares of different patterns; the book has clear and illustrated instructions for each step, and the squares are ordered in a cumulative-learning sort of way, so it can take you all the way from "what's yarn?" to cables and lace.
