I thought KnittingHelp.com was very useful. It uses video to teach so you can actually see someone doing the stitch rather than follow along with pictures. It helped me greatly when learning how to knit a sock. Please no socks for me, though. I'm a proud elf. 
Also, I liked diynetwork.com. They have a show called Knitty Gritty which I rather enjoy. Here's there episode guide here:
http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/episode_arch...180_445,00.html
There you can click on which show from Getting Started to Cross Colors (The other shows below that haven't aired so they haven't posted the patterns yet) you want to see. It doesn't show the entire show just how to do the stitch, depending on which episode you go in and every episode doesn't have a video clip.

I found a great tutorial on book binding here. I'll let you know how it goes- I'm making a HP themed swap journal this week!

I'm thinking about trying out polymer clay masks for Phoenix Rising. I saw this on DIY and it looks like it would be easy to adapt to a very HP-oriented craft. I've never worked with any kind of polymer clay. Any suggestions out there where to find something like the papier mache mask form? Should I start smaller before moving to the masks?

lajewelcat - try Madam Malkin's for all kinds of fantastic HP costuming info.
If you want to go very simple, you can look for graduation robes and simply add a patch (try whimsicalley.com for patches). Both of my kids have something like that and you've be surprised how many people have asked me where to get them!
There are also some commercially available patterns, though they may be hard to find this time of year. Simplicity has something very close to HP, though I do know the number.
Hope that helps!
