I Think I Feel A New Obsession Coming On

I went to Chapters last night and had a look at all the knitting books, and have been looking at these sites http://www.briggsandlittle.com, and http://townsearch.com/cottagecraft/, and several others, imagining all the things I could make.
My goal is to be able to make mittens for the Boy for next winter. That's it. Not a lofty ambition, but a practical one, since his mittens disappear even more than socks.
