Since I mostly do knitting and crocheting, I usually let the yarn speak to me. Sometimes I'll go into a yarn store and see something shiny and think, "that would be perfect for a scarf!" or "that would be a great hat!" Many times, though, I don't actually ever get around to those projects. Eventually I give up and create some sort of stash-busting project to get rid of everything that I'd never otherwise use (such as all of my un-shiny acrylic yarn.) Occasionally, I'll find a pattern on a cool site like Knitty and decide that I really want to make it.
Of course, the less fun way is to go outside and realize, "crap, it's really cold out! I need a hat/scarf/pair of gloves/sweater!" Then I go through my stash, and then go through my stash and then go online to find a suitable pattern for it. And then I knit it!
Though I should probably be truthful now and say that I have knitting ADD and start tons of projects and don't necessarily finish all/any of those projects.
