Knit your own Monk!

Knit your very own Brother Cadfael

I know, the fictional Cadfael resided at Shrewsbury Abbey, but I couldn't resist the header.

These guys below are currently on display in a Knitted Monk exhibition at Tewkesbury Abbey (Gloucester, UK). More information is available here. 

What's best, there is a free knitting pattern, which can be accessed here. I'm sure donations are very welcome. :-)

So, now there are really no excuses not to knit your very own Cadfael...or even a whole monastery.
