Today the catholic church is celebrating Don Bosco - my favourite saint!

You can learn more about him on Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org

And don't forget to hear a (polish) song about him:

We sang it a lot last year on our pilgrimage to Wilno with Salesian priest (the order, which was founded by him).

It seems, that I can't keep it up with the Monday meetings, but I will give you a short update, what's going on this month. It is all about "C".

So fare I managed three projects:

Corelli - a CAL, orginally from Februar 2010. But I never manage to do it. So finally I crochet the scarf and just finished it at the weekend. I use a pure silk Lace Yarn (Marici from The Unique Sheep) and I like the yarn and the colourway (blushing bride) very much. I have quite a bit over and I might can make a little shawlette from the leftovers.

Caradhras - part of the LotR sockclub from 2009/2010. I got 12 sock kits (meaning yarn plus pattern) and this is the first I actually knit.

Coquille Shawl - a nice pattern from knitty.com and I could use a yarn I bought about 1 year ago.

And still on my needles ist Clockwork. The pattern was present for Christmas. I will try to finish this in January too, but I am not sure, if I can do it. I hadn't any fitting yarn, so I bought new on for this.

But 3 stash-down project and only 1 new-yarn project is pretty good I will say!

Today would be the 120th birthday of J.R.R. Tolkien.
