Pun'kin.

A couple of years ago one of my co-workers was expecting a baby around Halloween. As a I-promise-you'll-go-into-labor soon gift, I made her a quick little pumpkin hat. With half a ball of yarn left, I decided to knit a second hat to have on hand. So I started, but then cast it aside. When I pulled it out this week to finish it up, I wondered why I would knit over 5 inches of a baby hat and then toss it aside for over 2 years. Five inches on a baby hat is nearly finished. And then I remembered why...



I carried this little hat around in my bag for months, knitting a row or two here and there. Of course, carrying it around in my bag came at a cost. The ball of yarn became a tangled mess. Overwhelmed by untangling, I cast it aside for something new. Well, a couple of hours in front of the tv and...



TADA!

The pattern is from Itty Bitty Hats. The yarn is Berroco Comfort.

And as luck would have it, I have a couple more co-workers expecting soon.
