Kewl! (Glad I FINALLY learned to knit, even if it is just the basic stitch.)
If you can make a knit stitch, and a purl stitch (which is the backside of the knit stitch), you've got most of what you need.
Everything else is a combination of just those two stitches, with a yarn over thrown in here or there and knitting two together.
Any yarn store can show you how to increase or decrease (especially if you buy a skein of yarn first!), and the world is then your knitting oyster.
Congratulations!
