Knitting ideas for baby to be?

[babyfish2012]

i'm 26wks +2 and I started knitting when i was around 11 and really didn't get into making different projects other then scarves till i found out i was pregnant. i'm having a hard time finding creative things to make for my daughter that does not involve clothing. I've made here baby blanket, a pair of booties, 2 hats, a toy thats a stuffed fish (which i thought was so awesome), right now i'm making a hammock/sling (still experamenting with this one), and i'm going to be making a sock puppet (found a bright orange fuzzy sock laying around my house so i thought that would be cool). Does any one have any ideas? I bought way to much yarn when i went to make her baby blanket so i'm trying to find ways to use it before she gets here.

When I was pregnant with DD1 I knit her a christmas stocking and embroidered her name at the top. I found the pattern in a library book, but I'm sure you could find one online. It was really fun and special to pull out each year. I need to make one for this baby too before Christmas!

lol thats a great idea that makes me think of her halloween costume. Its kind of tradition in my family that i love to dress all babies for their first holloween at a pumpkin, i just don't have the right colors for either of these projects yet.

For baby gifts, I have knitted baby cocoons and they have always been a big hit. I plan on knitting some for this baby.

Are you on Ravelry? This is the pattern I have used that I really like.
