After thinking it was my hose leaking I came to realize the leak is coming from the knob of the faucet stem where it goes into the fauce. All advice is needed and appreciated!

No problem.
The nut on the hose bibs stem is called a bonnet packing nut.
Turn the Valve on until water starts to leak out around the stem. Now take a pair of pliers and begain to slowly tighten the nut clockwise. Stop tightening when the leak stops. Simple Huh? Tom
