Thanks to everyone who posted suggestions for Mothers Day gifts for my prepster mom! Your suggestions were so helpful that I thought I'd post them here to share with everyone in a similar conundrum:
Knitting for the penny-loafer lover:
Clapotis
Tea Cozy
Afghans, throws or pillows
Fibonacci cardigan
Stuff from Chicknits
Sitcom Chic Cardigan
Knitted bath puff / loofah or bath mitt (pdf)
Lavender-filled eye pillow (pdf)
Hot Water Bottle Cover
Reverse-Bloom Washcloth
Felted oven mitt
Cosmetic bag (perhaps the one in Stitch 'n' Bitch Nation?)
Soleil tank
Knitted t-shirt
Pillow inserts from Weekend Knitting
iPod sleeve (for the tech-savvy prepster mom)
Boatneck pullover
Classic Slant cardigan
Cable 8 top
Boogie vest
Via Diagonale purse
Maple Leaves Scarf
I love the t-shit! (But for me! With "Blush" on it) Oh it is sooooo cute! For a prepster mom my vote goes to the Classic Slant Cardigan. Love it!
I simply must learn to knit!
(I'm looking for votes for a baby yarn colour on my site- if you have a change drop by and let me know what you think- I've never crocheted for babies so I have a hard time visualizing what these colours will look like on a tiny baby! I love the colours you chose for the baby booties on your site- so I'd really appreciate your input!)

My vote is for the Cable Eight Top! It's simple and quick. I'm almost done with mine.
