One of my co-workers is expecting. In October, I think. And this home-dyed (in the roving with cherry koolade) handspun was just hanging around with nothing to do. So I plied it and started Madge on 60 stitches (instead of 80 like the pattern specifies). Hopefully, it will come out baby sized. And hopefully, the new mother will forgive me for gifting her with a hand-washing-required baby hat.

The pattern is from the spring 06 issue of knittyspin [http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/FEATKSmadge.html]

Maybe this will be lunch time knitting and the sweater (and the maple man) will forgive me for cheating.
