I know winter is coming because I've been spending way too much time perusing knitting books and web sites and plotting my next projects (after the at-least-three unfinished projects that are staring at me right now). By the by, Jenn, looking at knitting patterns is what you do when your wrists & fingers have become so sore that you have to take a knitting break.
Anyhoo, I found this blog that has some really beautiful--and free!--scarf patterns on it (including a handsome one for the male species):
http://monika-freepatterns.blogspot.com/
And I've become addicted to the Mason*Dixon Knitting book that I checked out from the library. The gals who wrote it are hysterical and include things like, "Places We Have Tried to Knit and Failed." As a Visually Disoriented Person*, I found it easy to read and not too overwhelming on the eyes. The patterns are beautiful and most don't look difficult--in fact, they really encourage the new knitter to step away from the scarves and try other projects. Looking at their blanket patterns got me thinking that sometime we might want to do a collective block blanket. We could choose a color scheme and each knit a certain number of blocks; as long as each block is the same size, we could use whatever stitch we wanted and then put it all together at the end.
I'm almost done with Zak's scarf, which is taking forever. It's too wide, but I'm sure he'll learn to live with that, right? Then I'll need to do Robert's which I'm going to make not-so-wide and probably not do seed stitch, either, since it's really starting to annoy me. I'd like to try doing the miniature socks and stockings from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, but I think I'll need help from my SnB group for that. Good thing they're nice. I've never worked on double-pointed needles before, and some of the instructions made me scratch my head and say, "huh?"
What are you guys knitting right now?
*Visually Disoriented Person: a person who, when something is sitting right next to her, has to ask someone where it is because she can't see it. This happened to me yesterday. It's not a visual acuity thing, it's a visual processing thing. It's the same reason going into the Wal-Mart makes me twitch violently--too much to look at and process.

YOU are a Knittle Ho and crack me up. Perhaps the Knittle Hos need to add a therapist to the staff to help us all with this compulsive obsession. You only think it will end when you finish the intarsiated scarves for those filmmaking boys - just count up those projects and ideas waiting in your queue.
Thanks for the link. Looks like a good one. I've got to learn the stock market before I can settle down with my knitting books and sites again. Or at least that's what I should do.
Keep up the good work. You be da Knittle Ho Queen.
OMG! I just looked at monika's patterns. They are beautiful. We have to do one - and they are so appropriately named. The socks are way too cool too. How does this lady get all these things done and I just plod along from one same project to the next?
