Knitter: Carol Sacks
Pattern: ADVENTurous Wrap 
Designer: Ambah O'Brien
Yarn: Sunshine Yarns - Harry Potter Advent Kit
Notes: Pattern was done over the month of December. 
Each color was wrapped and numbered for the day by 
Sunshine Yarns. I would unwrap the correct number 
package and knit the clue for that day. Unfortunately 
I could not keep up that pace and the shawl was 
finished in January instead of December 25th.
Lots of fun and I love the results.

Knitter: Carol Listenberger
Pattern: Vest - own design
Designer: Carol Listenberger 
Yarn: A single ball of yellow alpaca mohair blend
from the bargain bin. The bottom of a child's dress
from a thrift store.
Notes: I've been experimenting with felting over 
knitting for a couple of years now, but this was 
my first attempt to control shaping of a garment 
created with that method. A series of sewn pintucks 
at the shoulders and waist help the fabric fall 
where I wanted.

Knitter: Carol Listenberger
Pattern: Shawl 
Designer: Carol Listenberger 
Yarn: Shibui Silk Cloud for the center and a
limited edition paper/synthetic blend by ITO 
for the edging. 
Notes: A single irregular triangle was created
for the body of the shawl. Then separate pieces
were knit in a tighter gauge for the octopus,  
fish and plant life. Those pieces were appliqued
in place on the background triangle by hand. The 
edging was also know separately and sewn on. 
Last, a combination of wet felting and needle
felting was used to add color and detail to 
both sides of the shawl.

scarf. Instructions are given for both a long
version and a shorter version. There are also
alternate patterns for the more challenging
sections if you find them too difficult. Made 
up of 12 different colors and 12 different
patterns - it was never boring.
