No problem!
Ravelry has been around for a long time and is hands down the best resource for finding patterns (apparently ~700,000 have been uploaded). Their advanced search is fantastic if you're looking for something in particular, but the sheer number of filter options can feel kind of overwhelming at first. If you're logged in while looking at a pattern, you can see other people's projects, which often include helpful notes and photos. Rav also has solid user tools, including ones for tracking your own projects and yarn stash (which will build up if you stick with knitting), and a huge yarn database that I mostly use for finding photos of yarn colours in various lighting before I buy them online.
