Inspiration

I'm in need of some inspiration. I have a pair of pants I have to knit up for a trade and I have no idea what to do. I am knitting two pairs, one is being lanolized right now. It's in 100Purewool "Chocolate". Newborn size with a fancy cable down the side. Now I have to make a 6 mos size and want to do something nice but am at a total loss. I keep having ideas using fallish colors, but it's almost spring and the baby is due in July. I suppose by the time s/he is big enough it'll be fallish again. Hmm, that might help. Anyway, I need some inspiration. I'm thinking of making a contest out of it...

Will post a pic of the completed longies once they're done bathing.
