Weil Is Make It With Wool Winner
Local Author And Illustrator Complete Sequel To Children’s Book
“(When I won), I was completely shocked because the other outfits were stunning,” said Cara Weil, first-place adult contestant in the Pennsylvania Make It With Wool competition held in October. “When they called mine, my eyes got big,” recalled the Smoketown resident, who quickly deferred the credit for her win. “God gets all the glory and 100% of the praise for any awards I have ever gotten,” she said. “He gave me the talent.”

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Weil, who has taught music at Jackson Middle School in the School District of Lancaster for 22 years, won for her one-piece knitted olivecolored dress. She said she chose the pattern because it was something she knew she could wear well, but also because it was a challenge. “There were stitches in that pattern I had not done before,” explained Weil, who also chose to use alpaca yarn, which was a first for her. The competition was held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, and it pitted Weil against seven other adults from around the state. She said that the three judges first examine the entry “flat.” See Make It With Wool pg 5
