I've always been a huge fan of Knitty, an online knitting magazine with tons of free patterns, but the most recent issue (Winter '08), they have really outdone themselves!
I realized earlier this afternoon that I hadn't checked to see if the new issue was out yet. When I went to the website, I was immediately blown away by some of the patterns! Never before have I seen so many in an issue that I MUST KNIT right away!
My favorites of the issue (there are a lot of them!):
Amused, a raglan sweater with a huge cabled collar, 3/4 sleeves, and ribbed bottom and cuffs (This one is definitely my favorite of the issue. It's gorgeous!)
A little bird told me, a felted purse with an adorable embroidered bird
Fish hat, a hat shaped like a fish. Because who doesn't want a hat that's eating your head? Adorable!
Miitens, mitts for babies shaped like Mii hands (you know, the little people on the Nintendo Wii)
Oomingmacks, slippers shaped like musk oxen. I never realized until today how much I need slippers shaped like musk oxen. (Is that the plural of 'ox'? I wasn't sure.)
Socktopus, a toy octopus wearing 8 different socks
Amelia, an incredibly cute cardigan
and finally Maja, a shawl using a fascinating crossed stitch pattern
I really need to finish up all of my current UFOs (in non-knitter lingo, un-finished objects) so that I can start on that Amused sweater. Because I MUST HAVE THAT SWEATER! It's so pretty!!! I also really want to make a fish hat for myself and for my brother, and my mom would really love that shawl!
I've got to go get knitting!

It is very, very difficult to describe how much I NEED that socktopus.
I - must - knit - it. Now.
The fish hat makes me laugh. A lot. In a really good way. As do the oomingmacks.
And the miittens and socktopus are ridiculously cute :)
