I learned to knit in the round from an Elizabeth Zimmerman dvd.  I think its called Knitting Workshop.  It was really good. Theres also a book.

If you go to you tube, do a search for magic loop knitting. This is a really good way to knit in the round.

I agree with loveinspanish that Elizabeth Zimmerman is one of the better teachers out there.  Knitting without Tears and The Knitters Workshop are 2 of the best beginners books with DVD out there. I wish I they were available when I was learning how to knit, and knit in the round.

Knitting needles are a very personal choice.  What ever needle you like using is the needle for you.  If they are sold at a knitting shop near you Chiaogoo knitting needles (fixed circular, interchangeable, straights, and double points) are one of the best quality needles available, but they dont cost a fortune.  I use them exclusively now, because the quality is so good, and the price is really good too. (Where I am a fixed Addi circular needle costs $24 and a ChiaoGoo of the same size and length costs $7. Big difference but as far as Im concerned, the Chiaogoo are the better quality.  The cables are fantastic.  Just my opinion.)

I started knitting in the round about 3 months ago.  I purchased a set of Bamboo circulars from china - 10 different sizes for about £6 - and watched lots of you tube videos.  It took a while especially as I have always held one needle against my body and the size of circulars does not allow this so it was like learning a totally new method of holding the needles.  It is well worth persevering, ( I was about to give up then  it all fell in place ) the end result is so much neater, very little sewing. If you get frustrated just put it aside for a couple of days and try again, you will get there in the end. Re needles I have just ordered another cheap set of bamboo circulars from china so I have a spare set, I really like them.  
Good luck !

At first I was really afraid to try magic loop circular knitting, but it turned out to be very easy! Its much less fiddly than double pointed needles, although I still get laddering sometimes.
