Ideas for a boy?

[Riss]

My best friend has 3 kids, two girls and a boy. I've found *so* many projects that I want to make for her girls, Elizabeth and Sarah (almost 2 and 5 respectively) but I don't want to start any projects without having something to make for her son, Anthony, who just turned 7 I believe.

He's a cute, spunky little kid that probably has a crush on me. I love him to death. His father is a manly man though... and I'm afraid to make him little stuffed animals or anything that might be considered "girly".

Do you guys have any ideas for a simple project for a little boy? It can be knit or crochet... I'm not picky. Just keep in mind that I'm still new to knitting, so it would have to be something relatively easy...

Thanks...
