My freshman year of college (mumble mumble 21 years ago), one of my friends was knitting during finals week. I asked her what she was doing and why? Knitting and because it relieved stress. I asked her to teach me; studying paused. We got a skein of yarn and the needles it said to use. She taught me stockinette and cut me loose to make a scarf (which I still have).
Everything else, I’ve learned from YouTube and various websites. Knitty and Studio Knit were my main tutorial resources in the early years. Knit Picks and Purl Soho are sites I’ve added to my resource list over the years. My sister has started knitting since I started but no one else in my family knits so I don’t have that resource. Many of my friends knit and we bounce ideas and patterns off each other. Ravelry helped me go DEEP down the rabbit hole on patterns and yarn.
