I'm happy to report Connor changed his mind and doesn't want the afghan anymore. He wanted what we had turned into a scarf for Monkey. Yay! No more crocheting with polyester for me.
Good for you!! Maybe you'll have time to knit the baby hat; I found I had saved it after all!!
Newborn Knit Hat (size 0-3 months)
Using four of size 6 dpns, CO 60 stitches; arrange 20 stitches on each needle. Being careful not to twist, begin k2p2 ribbing for one inch.
Next row and on every 5th row, faux cable the knit stitches and purl all the purl stitches.
Continue as established until work measures 3.5 inches.
First decrease row: k 2, p 2, k2, p 2 tog (decrease one stitch), k2, p2, k2, p2 tog, and continue decreasing for one round.
Next row, k the knit stitches, p the purl stitches.
Second decrease: work four stitches, work 2 tog, continue the round.
Next row, k the knit stitches, p the purl stitches.
Continue as established until about 10 stitches remain, cut yarn with a six inch tail, thread yarn with needle and gather all stitches, then secure the yarn.

Weave in the tail from cast on row.
