Help.. What to make???

[abc-dee]

Hi everyone,

 

well i found out today that my Best Friend is 6mths pregnant, we have been trying to visit each other and seem to just be visiting at the wrong times..

 

i want to make something special for her baby.. so i would love some ideas..

 

i was thinking a babyghan, booties, hat/beanie, mittens, and a toy..

 

if anyone could show me some patterns for these items and colour suggestions i would sincerely appreciate it..

 

i dont know if bub is a boy or girl.. im planning to go out and buy the supplies for these items all together..

 

Thankyou in advance for your suggestions and pattern links..

How about a Black and White Round ripple for the baby??

Here's one I did http://adaslovinglyhandmade.blogspot.com/2007/03/completed-project.html it went over really well, I also did a black/white book with different shapes in it that I had graphed out on paper first.

 

Just an idea...

I just did a hooded baby blanket for my best friend. It's a free pattern from Lion Brand. It was very easy and I used a Caron 1 lb. My friends hates gender-specific colors though she knew it was a girl. I used sage, which I figured could be used again by boy or girl if she has any more kids.

I don't know how to narrow it down! I do at least one baby hat and/or booties per day for charity.

This is one of my favorite sweaters to make. It works up very fast and is easy. http://bellabambinaknits.blogspot.com/2007/03/kellys-sweater.html

 

I agree with Schmetterling about Bev's pattern list. There are some really cute and easy beanies and booties on there.
