I usually start hunting through all the free patterns on Ravelry when I'm looking for something, and then if I don't find something I like I may branch out on Google. Ravelry.com, if you don't know, is the be all and end all of social networking sites for knitters and crocheters and it really has grown huge since it started. There are some really lovely patterns on it.
But thank you for sharing your list, I'll have a look when I get home - can't look from the work computer lol.
