The red scarf is finished. It came out a perfect 6.5 inches wide by 64 inches long (exactly my height, and they do say that's the best length for a scarf)! Feels lovely and I don't intend to part with it.
The hooded baby top that I have named Bamboo Baby on Ravelry is also done, except for a button. Above is a side view, and below a front view. I crocheted a loop at the front for the button, and knitted a little i-cord tail after doing the three-needle bind off on the hood.
I think it might actually fit a small person quite well, so I shall give it to my neighbour along with the snail hat I made a little while ago.
What next? Well, I still have some Bernat Satin in Wine Mist left over from making my Brea Bag, so I am going to immediately dive in and make the Droplet Hat from Norah Gaughan's Knitting Nature. I am *gasp* not going to bother with a gauge swatch, but will just start knitting it on the suggested needles and see how it goes.

That color red looks really great on you! Don't you just ADORE Norah Gaughan?
Love the scarf and the profile picture - the boys did a good job - and the baby sweater looks awesome.
Yes, I love Norah - she's a genius! Thanks for your comments, ladies.
