are available at Knitter's Review--The Sock Knitter's Companion: Step-by-Step Help. It's really clear, simple, and free.

The Folk Socks book Lynn mentioned has a super simple Basic Sock pattern in the front where you can choose from several different heel and toe techniques until you find the heel/toe shape that best fits you. I'd try that book after you've tried the Knitter's Review online help.

There is also a website called KnittingHelp.com that has free online knitting videos, including one about working the heel of a sock.

I've knitted one pair of socks so far, and it's not too hard...just don't expect your first pair to be perfect! I'd link to the pic I uploaded of my first pair of socks, but I can't seem to get at the images. Hmmm. Should ask Lynn about it, huh?
