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.

WIP, a number of them

I am nearing the end of the purple cardi with the unusual yoke. Has been something of a challenge. Have come up with an original idea for charity/mission project. Both the knitting and crocheting classes are going well. Though the Missions department has extended an invitation to the women currently living at the downtown rescue mission to come for lessons. I certainly hope that some of them are able to come. We have two different projects going. One is knitted scarves and hats for the mission and the other is twin-size afghans for the orphanage in SE Asia. We are also thinking about having a table at a local street fair in the Fall to help generate money for the orphanage or some othr project. Also doing baby layettes for Chose Life of North Alabama. We need to gather more knitters and crocheters to get so many projects going. The crosses I did for the Costa Rican Kairos trip went over well again this year.
