Experience
So, how do you know if you are a beginner, and intermediate, or an advanced knitter or crocheter? You look at the Craft Yarn Council!
There's a lot of other fun stuff at that link, including sizing standards, and yarn weight standards and recommended needle sizes.
Knitty offers suggestions on how to increase your level of difficulty in a reasonable fashion, and also commentary on/for those of us who jump into things with both feet!
And if you're looking for a really good beginner's knitting or crochet book, may I recommend Knitting in Plain English and Crocheting in Plain English both by Maggie Righetti.
