Daddy monkey and I have had a TON of visits to the colorectal surgeon's in the past 24 months. As we are nearing his release from his second major surgery, I became aware his surgeon's wife was pregnant. I couldn't resist making up the Doctor's Scrub Hat and Stethoscope Set By KT and The Squid for him. (Note the photo below is not the set I made up, it goes with the original pattern located on Ravelry)
