What should I knit with 2 skeins of natural Mal Abrigio?

I want to make something for my new baby (due end of July), but I"m not sure what.

What would you knit?

Do you cloth diaper? You could easily make at least one pair of nb/sm longies with each skein. Otherwise maybe a cardigan/pants set or a sleep sack?

Malabrigo is really warm. And it felts if you look at it cross-eyed.

Whatever you knit, make it in the six month size. You won't want to use it until winter, and it will shrink a little in washing even if you wash it by hand.

See, I love mal Abrigo and the softness more than makes up for the easily felted-ness of it for me.

I made a little pair of shorts, and now I can't decide what else to make.

I'm considering a sleep sack, but I'm not sure how much I would actually use that AND the thought of that much plain old knitting just makes me want to fall asleep.

Thinking, thinking....

I'd do the Ribbed Baby Jacket for winter, because I love the way that single ply yarns look in 3 x 1 ribbing.

oooh, cute!
