Knitty has a surprise pattern in their Fall 2004 issue. Click here and select a site to download from. (They're spreading the bandwidth.) This surprise is to support breast cancer awareness. Might be nice to knit a bunch of the first pattern and sell them. Give the proceeds to breast cancer research. :)
Scarves, hats, socks and a story from a breast cancer survivor which I found to be very moving. Save the breasts! But more importantly, save lives.
