Alpha Bravo Charlie- Monday Meeting is my weekly blog feature about my progress in this group.
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!
To the Professor!

At my LYS we are also putting together a babyblanket for a pregnant customer. I contributed 3 squares - one happend to be a B! They were meant to become dishclothes, but they make fine babysquare blanket too!
Babyfeet
Can't remember the name...
Elvish Leaves
As little Christmas presents (which I gifted randomly away after mass at church to various people in the parish) I made 10 bookmarks (Yeah another B!). And one extra for me ;-).
5 in blue
5 in white
1 for me (despite that I bought myself a ebookreader for Christmas)
The Belle Ruffle Gloves seemed to be doomed. I misplaced a button and by cutting it loose I also cut into the gloves. So I got a ruffle and a upper part of a glove. I started over - without buttons of course! I will just join in the round after the ruffle. But I will nothting say about it, till they are finished!
And finally a pic of my finished B-socks:
