Knit yourself a bra in aid of the Bosom Buddies breast cancer charity. For one week, starting on 1st July, the ladies of Black Sheep Wools will be wearing their knitted bras over their uniforms - whether they work in the Craft Barn, picking orders or in the offices! 

And now you can join them - the Sirdar pattern for the knitted bras is now available to buy online. The kit costs £4.19, and 50 pence from each pattern sold goes to the Bosom Buddies charity; it includes pattern 9911, and one ball of Hayfield Bonus Dk - shade 887 (enough to make a bra of any size). 

You can also donate to the girls' efforts on their fundraising page here, and monitor what they're up to through photos shared throughout the week on Facebook, Twitter and their blog.

Here are some of the girls wearing their bras - we particularly like the tasselled version!

If you're looking for a friendly, well-stocked Local Yarn Store and you're anywhere near Bristol, pay a visit to Get Knitted. It's a huge shop with free parking, and they offer a ‘Shop Loyalty Scheme’: for every £10 you spend you earn a point; when you reach 10 points you'll get a £10 voucher off your next purchase. As Get Knitted's Laura explains, "This has proved very successful, even though some people feel a little sheepish about how quickly their spend mounts up!" There's currently a great special offer too - a massive 40% off Clover Circular Knitting Needles.

We're sorry, we have missed some of the pattern in the Festival Fave cardigan from Sirdar - here's the missing instructions for the Shape neck and Shape shoulder for the Left Front.

It's filled with stylish designs to suit every shape - as well as our cover star, Marie Wallin's colourblock sweater, you'll love the colourful cardigan from Sirdar and this retro-glam crochet collar by Kirstie McLeod.  Rosee Woodland's gorgeous Fair Isle tank top is perfect for summer: wear it alone in hot weather, or layer it up for cooler days. The repeating motifs make this a great project if you're new to the technique.
