Because it seemed so timely, I decided to start with this pattern for making
mini mitten ornaments. I came up with this several years ago, and knitted these ones for a Christmas gift for my Grandma.
These are so quick to knit, once your fingers get used to the awkwardness of knitting 18 stitches on size 1 DPNs. And they're a great way to get some use out of all that leftover sock yarn threatening to take over your house (or is that just me?)

Free Patterns, Tips
Have you see the Daily Knitter's Free Knitting Pattern of the Day? It's kind of a nice way to find out about some of the better free patterns out there on the internet. The Buccaneer's Booty Socks linked to today are pretty funny. Also worth looking at on Crafty Diversion, the same website as the Buccaneer's Booty Socks: Instructions for how to make your own swift for about $15. Wow. I can make a lot of things, but the thought of conceiving of and then constructing a swift absolutely blows my mind.
