Do you like to knit?  Do you want to share your hobby with your child? Knitwhits is a great company that offers knitting kits for projects from hats to cat toys.  They offer projects in different skill levels.  The kits come in a cute tube with all the yarn you'll need and the pattern - you supply the knitting needles and viola - a scarf or purse or even a backgammon set!  BTW - the yarn is of excellent quality and the colors are beautiful.  I made the Ripley http://knitwhits.com/online_store/cotton_hats/ripley.php cotton hat for my daughter when she was in my belly and plan on knitting her the same hat in the next size up because it's just sooo cute!  The kits themselves make great gifts too.  If you'd rather choose your own yarn then you can download just the pattern at a reduced cost.  Happy knitting!
