Re: knitting help...
There is the knitting dictionary, the vogue stitchionery, and the stitch library (knitters bible) with lots of pattern stitches which I can see available on amazon just now. WH Smith used to have a good range in their craft section too.

Re: Spinning , new skill
hope you had a good day - are you using a spindle or a wheel? I admit to owning a wheel but do way more on drop spindles than the wheel (for which you have to stay in one place ;) )
