Purple sweater with unusual yoke, several scarves, and an afghan

Well I finally finished that purple sweater.  Don't like the neck line but was finally able to get the pattern right.  It did look a little better after I blocked it but still not happy with it.  I have started on a bright kelly green one that is crocheted.  I am also working on a knitted scarf at church on knitting day and crocheting afghan squares for crocheting day.  Will do 8" squares using different crochet patterns, i.e., shells, v-stitch, rabbits ears, etc.  At work I am working on my invention called a Roman Road Scarf for a fund raising project for the knitting/crocheting ministry.   I found a pattern similar to the one an acquaitance was wearing recently that I liked.  The base is crocheted using size "Q" hook and then additional unusual yarns are woven through the mesh the base creates.  I also found a place that carries purse handles if I want to work on some of those.  May do some felted ones over the summer to sell next Fall for fund raiser.  Also need to get some letters written for possible charitabile donations.
