a virtual thank you note

Thank you to the lovely Spiders for the woolly goodness bestowed on Cassie this weekend at her babywarming. These things are becoming extremely frequent, aren’t they? Behold the cuteness…
Clockwise from the left: Jess’s Hemlock Ring Blanket, Lisa’s brown sheep, Steph’s elephant, Nancy’s crochet bear, Carrie’s crochet hippo. Can you even stand it? There’s more…
Cathy’s Baby Surprise Jacket, Connie’s leg warmers, Virginia’s socks, Katy’s bonnet. Not pictured: an adorable squeeky pirate and top from Tea (my fave) from Jess F&P
I am so grateful for friends like you! Now, please do me one final favor and publish links to your patterns right here in the comments 
THANK YOU!

Lots of things in progress over here. Some things remain untouched since Cassie’s birth, but some have grown a bit. In either case, here is some photographic evidence.
Two versions of Saartje bootees in various stages of finishing:
What I am calling a Moonshin scarf. What’s a Moonshin? Well, my mom was a puppeteer when we were little and the Moonshins were a cast of characters that lived on the moon. The colors just reminded me of the sets and puppets in the workshop. In a related story, I once brought four larger than life dinosaurs out to a local bar in my college town. Quite the scene. The scarf pattern is really Flutter Scarf by Miriam Felton (Ravelry link). The yarn is Blue Heron worsted in an unknown colorway.

Last but not least, a budding sisterly relationship in progress…
Ribbed Baby Jacket
2008 @ 7:45 am
Apparently, this pattern is my go-to baby gift. It’s easy to figure out why. It takes exactly one skein of cotton ease, is fun, easy, practical and cute! I hope Amanda’s baby will get as much use out of this sweater as Maia got out of her versions.
Details can be found here on Ravelry. Mod: I did a little seed stitch border to prevent rolling around the bottom at at the cuffs.
