News! I have news! My brother and his wife are going to have a baby! Courtney's due in November. They've decided to wait it out and let the sex of the baby be a surprise, which is great for them, but kind of sucky for an anxious and over-excited knitter. Still, I think the idea of letting it be a surprise is kinda cool too. So, who's got suggestions on their favorite gender-less baby patterns? I'm thinking this is the perfect excuse for the Debbie Bliss teddy bear cardigan that I have always loved.
Also, I have a collection of rainbow colored leftovers of Tahki Cotton Classic - maybe a cute baby item? All ideas are much appreciated.
Before I say goodbye for today I also want to thank both
Johanna and
Helena for their really sweet words of encouragement and support. I'm still working on staying cheery, but lately things are good.

What an adorable sweater!
My cousin and his wife just had a baby a few weeks ago and they played the same cruel trick on this knitter -- they didn't find out the sex ahead of time. A great very neutral pattern is the Baby Surprise Jacket. I used gender neutral shades on mine (green and gray), and it was a big hit.
THat is such a gorgeous sweater! I love it and it would be wonderful for both sexes. I think it would be good to knit even if you do know the sex of the baby, because it's a sweater than can be passed from baby to baby.

The teddy bear sweater is very cute - I'd definitely go with that. The cotton would be great for hats in various sizes - the one's in the hospital aren't nearly as cute.
Hey there! Congrats - I would recommend something from the Debbie Bliss book Special Knits - it's a hooded sweatshirt type thing. You can knit it in any yarn that gets gauge, obviously, and I'd imagine you could stripe it if you were so inclined... it's a great pattern with no gender attached - just pick the right color yarn. :) And hang in there - I know that slump. Knitting helps.
That sweater is so gorgeous! It definitely gets my vote.
