It's December. The Christmas season!! I love it. I'm busy knitting cardigans and Christmas stockings for clients. Handmade gifts you give are the best. You put love into creating something you've worked on. I seem to never have enough time to knit for everyone this season. I have started a cardigan for my son, but had to put it on hold until my clients sweaters are done first. He doesn't mind, but I had better be sure to get it done before the warm weather. I hope everyone has a joyous holiday season and a healthy one too. Merry Christmas and Happy Knitting.

It's November. Don't forget to turn your clocks back tonight. Fall back. Starting November the 6th, from 7pm.-9pm., I am having a knitting circle. Start up fee is $10.00, then a replenish fee of only $5.00 for fresh coffee or tea and a sweet.So come out for good conversation with friends and good company. Bring your knitting or crocheting. Call me at 905-914-7706, 905-433-8627 or email me at leslieknitting@gmail.com., to sign up. Look forward to an evening to relax and enjoy good company and conversation. I'm almost finished one cardigan, I am knitting for a client. It's a beautiful sweater in a beautiful teal colour. Also knitting a white cardigan for a client in the most softest yarn, against your skin. Soft yarn, that is the trick to great knitting. So sleep in tomorrow as I know I will and Happy Knitting.

It's October. The leaves are starting to change colour. It has been a beautiful Fall, so far. I am still working on cardigans, one for a little girl and one for my son. It will be time to start knitting hats, mitts and snoods for winter. I'm looking forward to shop for new Fall colours of yarn. The softer the better, against babies skin and your skin too. I'm teaching again. So come over and learn the art of knitting. Email me to make an appointment and my pricing. leslieknitting@gmail.com. Once you learn, you'll be hooked. Happy Knitting.

This is September 1. Where did the summer go?? I must admit I love the Fall. I love the cooler evenings. Great sleeping weather. It's cardigan and pullover sweater weather. I'm teaching knitting again if there is anyone interested to learn my favourite past time. Knitting is so relaxing after a tough day at the office or when you're having a stressful day. I'm also thinking of starting a knitting circle. One evening every week to work on projects of your own or new projects I can start you on. Email me if anyone is interested in lessons or my knitting circle. Fun for all!! Happy September and Happy Knitting. leslieknitting@gmail.com

Today is the first of August. The summer is going quickly. It's been a beautiful summer so far, cooler at night. Cardigan weather. So I'm busy knitting cardigans. I'm also knitting for a friend for her baby shower this weekend. I'm also knitting for my cousin who is having a baby in October. I love knitting for the little ones. It's so satisfying to see the finished product, all the hard work and love I've put into knitting the little sweater or blanket. So get motivated for the cooler fall days and knit or crochet a sweater. Happy Knitting

Happy Canada Day

July 1st already. Happy Canada Day. Knit something red. I'm knitting summer tops for a friend. Just call me the sweater lady. I love knitting top down cardigans and top down sweaters for the fall weather. Soon I will be knitting hats and mitts and cowls for the cooler days. Have a great summer. Happy Knitting!

Today is the first of June. Where is time going?? I'm busy knitting baby sweaters for friends who are having babies. Hats, also to match the little sweaters. The top down knitted sweaters are fun and easy to knit. No sewing, only the sleeves. Looking for baby items for the new baby in the family or friends having babies, just email me at leslieknitting@gmail.com. and I can have a hand knit sweater or crib blanket knit for your next baby shower, at a reasonable price. Call me at 905-914-7706 and we can talk. Have a great month. Stay out of the sun!! Enjoy the warm weather and Happy Knitting!!

It's May! The birds are singing. The buds are out on the trees. It's time to knit for the spring and summer. I am busy knitting for my great niece and nephew in Calgary. I'm knitting cardigans for when it gets chilly in Calgary. I love to knit the top down cardigans. This way you don't have to sew anything when you're finished. Everything is knit all in one. You do have to knit on a circular needle as there are many stitches you have to work with. Ponchos are fun to knit for little girls and big girls too. There are many cotton yarns now on the market for knitting tops for the summer in many colours. Enjoy knitting or crocheting for the coming warmer days of spring and summer. Happy Knitting!

It's April. Spring is in the air. It's still cold though and people are still wearing scarves with their coats. My Mom knit my daughter a beautiful scarf. I'm finishing up two cardigans for the warmer weather. I have also started a sleeveless top for the hot days of summer. This top is a challenge as it has an inlay in the front. I love challenges in my knitting. So start a new project for spring. There are so many new cotton yarns in many colours to choose from. Happy Knitting!

It's March already!! Time for Spring. Time to knit spring time shawls and summer cotton sweaters. Lovely cardigans in vibrant colours for the spring weather. I love this time of year. The March break is almost here. This year is flying by. Christmas seemed just like it was yesterday. I'm starting a new adventure with my knitting. Leslie's Knitting Studio on the road. If anyone would like me to come to their home with wool and needles to get them started on a project and to also teach you how to knit or crochet. I charge only $20.00 an hour. Let me know at leslie.spencer@sympatico.ca. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Until later, and Happy Knitting.

It's almost the middle of February. Time flies and this month is going fast. I'm busy knitting baby sweaters for preemie babies at the hospital. A little volunteer work. I'm going to start knitting cardigans for the spring. I have my hand knit items on Etsy under LesliesKnittingStudi. Have a look. I will be putting more items on Etsy soon. Have a great February and Happy Knitting.

Happy New Year everyone. I'm busy knitting snoods for everyone in all colours of the rainbow. They keep you warm on a cold winter's night. My Christmas and New Year's was very quiet this year, which was nice. I plan on staying healthy this coming year. I have a routine colonoscopy this month, then that ends all my yearly tests for this year. I plan on starting up my own online store, to sell all my hand knits. I have accumulated quite a bit of items, whether it's baby blankets, sweaters, hats, mitts, yoga socks, shawls, sweaters for women and men. Also many colours of snoods. For those who don't know what a snood is, it is a combination of a scarf and hood. So lets start a knitting or crocheting a project for the winter weather we are having, or start knitting for your home. It's fun and a great stress reliever. Happy Knitting!
