"bra" being in regional dialects in parts of the British Isles, I saw the following little pun on a birdhouse at Lindesfarne:

"Bra house.  Titi's only."

(-;

they also had a little bowl of water with the sign: "hot dogs stand"

Obviously, pun lovers.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the fun!

Actually "good " is  "god" in Danish (really! but pronounced with a soft th sound) But a Swedish or Norwegian "bra"  is also welcome :-)

Hi, Lisa,

OK, I'll go find the only one I have got left and take a picture one of these days, if you'd like to see it. Actually I think the colours are nicer in reality than in that photo taken on the loom.

I'd love to see the finished scarf as well, I love all the colors.

Gorgeous! I'm planning some striped asymetrical scarves myself, like you said - they're everywhere!

I really like your colours and stripes - and I hope to see a finished scarf!

Stunning!! Such a good way to both use up odds and ends, and get a super result! Truly inspiring. Tack! :)

Notes

Seeing that scarves in many coloured stripes was suddenly everywhere to be seen, I decided it was time to finish up a lot of small amounts of coloured wool in my yarn shelves. Used fine silk for weft, that would show as little as possible. The only challenge for me was winding the warp to avoid my tendency for symmetry! The scarves turned out to be very popular and were quickly off to friends' and family's necks.
