I bought a hank of Manos del Uruguay Silk blend in a gorgeous red a while back. Having only one skein meant it needed careful pattern consideration. I went for 198 yards of heaven, a pattern for a mini shawl. As I had 300 yards of heaven I added an extra repeat of the body pattern.

This is the project that gave me leftovers for yesterday's scrap down post. It is more red and less pink in real life, closer to the photos of the bracelets.

As always, a blanket square, not so bright this week but some lovely blue in there. The yarn was sent to me by a member of the UK Random Acts of Kindness Group on Ravelry.

That blanket square yarn is scrummy, do you know what it was & what colourway at all? (Its scottishbunny2003 from Rav) x
