Busy Fall Season

This has been a busy time.  It started with getting ready for the Advent Conspiracy Mission Marketplace at church.  Then I had to complete several orders for scarves, shawls, and hats.  Then I also made some hats for Christmas presents for family members.  I have also completed a few sweaters for myself.  The last was a lovely rust colored classic pullover.  The first day I wore it, a couple of ladies from church presented a program for the United Methodist Women's circle in which I am a member.  They had recently been on a mission trip to India.  They brought back some Indian scarves and there was one that was a perfect match for the sweater.  The church group, in addition to making things for the Mission Marketplace, also presented the group working with a local homeless camp hats, scarves, and socks which were given out at Christmas time.  The people in the camp were touched that someone had actually made things for them.  The group also presented several prayer shawls to the church's prayer ministry to use in the Storehouse 24-hour prayer vigil.  Now I have started on a multicolored tunic sweater after several attempts to do something with some TLC Amore yarn that I just can't seem to work up correctly in something that appeals to me.  I think after I finish this sweater I may make a long sleeveless or short sleeved tunic.  May use this same pattern if it works up well.  Since loosing over 70 pounds I am struggling finding patterns that fit correctly. 
I also made a large purchase at the Michael's after Christmas sale and also ordered a large bunch of yarn from Herrschners.  The cross I am making for the Costa Rican Kairos team are over half done.  I need to make 72 and have finished 48 so far. 
So even though I have not posted recently I have been very busy.
