I need to knit something for my best friend's new baby girl (due in September). It needs to be fairly trendy, but at the same time practical (I'm her only experience of children, so she's relying on me for advice), so nothing in a handwash only wool. I've had a look on Ravelry, but there's so much choice, and it's been a long time since I did any baby knitting (maternity leave with DD1 15 years ago [eek].
So, what's nice, not horrendously complicated, and a pattern I can have by Friday (which is when I'm off to JL to buy wool)? I'm thinking cardigans, hats (have seen a nice one), a pair of bootees as a "joke" present (cos no baby keeps bootees on, but all the expensive trendy shops seem to sell them for £20 ). Anyone done/seen anyting they would recommend?
