FO Friday- A charity bra and a luxury square

What can I do with this lot?

Make an entry for a charity decorate your bra contest of course!

The flowers were crocheted from sock yarn scraps and stuck on over a shiny scrapbooking jewel.

The square for this week is a bit fancy, it is 100% silk, I found a skein in a sale bin a few weeks back and squeezed a project out of it with just enough left over for a square. It adds some texture to the blanket, smooth and shiny.

  4. I love the bra and for a great cause too. That silk square will be a great focal point in your blanket. Are you enjoying knitting the squares? I really should learn how to make those so I can use up all of these sock yarn remnants.

  5. Thank you all for your comments, just back from a weekend away so sorry for the slow replies

    The decorated bra was a competition entry, the entry fee went to cancer research and it was judged by the public who made a small doantion to vote for their favourite. It is not designed to be worn, but probably could be.

    I am using the Shelly Kang pattern for the squares, from http://www.shellykang.com/all-about-the-blankie. I love making them, you get a finished project feeling each time a square is done and it uses up all the scraps
