What to do???

[zeropixie]

I want to make something for my friends one month old daughter but am so bored wih the same old things, afghans, balls, booties, teddy bears, ect.. Does anyone have any ideas? I just can't think of anything:shrug. Even something knitted would be fine.

Baby headbands and matching dresses or sweaters are cute. Hooded bath towel and washcloth or bath mit with a face on it--maybe bunny ears. A mobile? Somewhere I saw a pattern for a positioning snake to help prop the baby where you want her and for warmth to curl it around. Also, you can never have too many burp cloths.

I have made a number of baby mats for dressing tables or as portable diaper changing mats. New moms always seem to love these. I just use the potholder stitch and three strands of a sport weight yarn, like TLC baby, in variegated yarns. Sometimes I attach a few fridgies for babies at the corners.

A potholder stitch tutorial is here. http://tinyurl.com/8zoek (http://tinyurl.com/8zoek)

Here as also some patterns using the potholder stitch for practice.
