starting at the beginning

So what the h-e-double hockey sticks is anyone knitting? I haven't even really thought about it. I am too neck deep in my own pile of yarn. But I want ideas and good thoughts and encouragement.. I figure a good ribbing and gaffaw or two at my expense as well.

Recently I have been acquiring random single balls of yarn. Somehow I see more silly scarves in my future. (not that I am looking forward to them.) Any other ideas? Should I be bold and consider gloves? or is that just crazy talk?

So basically HELP!
