My preferred beginner right is short wooden or plastic needles (not metal), and light coloured, worsted weight, solid wool (not synthetic).
Sounds like we're definitely doing a Learn to Knit for the August meeting, so I'll bring some scrap wool yarn, I have lots. I can bring some needles, but I don't have many that are the suitable-for-learning kind, so if you have some of your own, bring them.
Yay! more knitters in the world.

Oh this is too sad: I just put together that our august vacation will not quite have ended for next month's meeting.
All in good time...

Is this good for beginners?
I wasn’t much of a tomboy as a kid in most regards, but man, I did appreciate me some snails ‘n slugs. My interest was partly monetary; my dad would pay me to collect them from the garden. Small snails and slugs were worth one shiny penny. Mediums, three cents, and the rare large ‘uns garnered a whopping five cents.
Via whip up, I was charmed by this knitted gastropod community from Anna Hrachovec of Mochimochi Land and reminded of my glory days in the pest control field. Here’s the tutorial to make these slimy creatures yourself.

It's not for a dead beginner, as it involves a) knitting in the round, b) dpns, c) tiny needles, d) reading a pattern and good finishing skills. However, for a motivated new knitter, they're entirely doable and entirely cute. Just maybe do a little bit of flat knitting first. Just a little.
That said, ever since I saw someone do this as their very first project (successfully!), I say all bets are off on what a beginner can or "should" do: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82802284@N00/4405274056/in/set-72157623550039832/
