So many great blankets and we are starting the bidding at just $36 for the big ones (like this) and $18 for stroller size! Do you think if I buy this blanket this family will adopt me because they just look so nice

The auction site only let me upload 4 photos of each item, I was sad not to include these ones bc they are so fabulous!!!

(again: www.32auctions.com/organization...)
the model has the cowl pulled up over the lower half of her face to show the full pattern more clearly a similar pose

I also made this brioche cowl that sort of looks like menorahs but subtly and also it's reversible (I considered duplicate stitching an actual menorah on there but decided it was too on the nose)

www.32auctions.com/organization...
model beaming and wearing the cowl, it's blue with a raised white pattern on the reverse side it's white with a blue raised pattern! from the side, worn in a more slouchy way folded over so you can see both patterns

I guess I should talk about the stuff I made, huh? I made two things. (1) a shawl as an homage to the Rodeph Shalom sanctuary architecture (shoutout to my Esteemed Patronesses over on Patreon who helped me choose the right pattern!)

www.32auctions.com/organization...
lacework shawl in blue and gold, semicircular with bands of patterns, hanging over the balcony rail in the Rodeph Shalom sanctuary, mirroring the organ loft and painted ceiling in the background Our model with stunning white hair wearing the shawl, it does a really cute ruffly thing when it drapes

The baby's parents tricked him into modeling blankets by playing peek-a-boo, I'm obsessed with these photos and also the subtle color choices on this blanket

www.32auctions.com/organization...
baby holds the blanket in front of his face baby has dropped the blanket and is sneaking a sideways look at his parents baby cracks up baby stands on the blanket so most of the detail is visible, it's star shaped in really cool combinations of purple, yellow, turquoise, light green, burgundy, and variations thereon

Oh hey another gorgeous sweater! This one is a yellow sleeveless sweater with a mesmerizing cable down the middle. Our model is wearing it with positive ease but it has pretty good horizontal stretch also

young woman with dark curly hair wears the sweater vest over a black tshirt and jeans with a French tuck, she looks incredible

None of these meet ALL of the criteria you said but I have discovered that my memory of children's books is not always 100% accurate so sharing just in case... Good luck!
