Well, It has been awhile since my last post. Oops!! I have been very busy with my yarn shop. Business is booming at this time of year. Everyone is getting ready for Christmas. Knitting and Crocheting gifts. Swedish Weaving is very popular in Oshawa. This is something new to me. It's almost like embroidery, using different yarns. Beautiful work from the samples I've seen in my shop. I'm busy knitting doll clothes for the American Dolls. I will display the outfits in the shop. We are currently expanding. I'm excited to have more room to work with. I will have a library for my books and more room for my yarns, needles and notions. Well , until next time. I will try not to be so tardy. Bye, Leslie

It's June. Summer is almost here. It hasn't been warm, but it's been beautiful. I've been busy knitting yoga socks for clients from my shop Wool on William. Everyone is knitting shawls for weddings, prom and graduations. I have many different shawl weight yarn in variegated colours or solid colours. Many babies are being born this year and next. I have beautiful baby yarns in chunky's, fingering and 3 ply yarns to knit up blankets, sweaters, hats and booties. Why not try knitting Princess Charlotte's bonnet? I have the pattern in the shop and the yarn. So enjoy your month of June and Happy Knitting!!

Well I'm really behind on my blog. It's now May and where did April go? The spring weather is now upon us finally. I'm busy knitting birthday gifts and I may start on my wedding outfit as my daughter will be married in May of 2016. I have one year to complete this. It's shawl season. Everyone is knitting shawls, prayer shawls, lace weight shawls and also worsted weight shawls. Beautiful. We are expanding the Wool on William shop, for storage and office space. We have been open for one year. Where did that time go? Our online shop will be up and running really soon. This is an exciting time for Wool on William. So drop in and see us. Happy Knitting!

It's the end of February. March is almost here. Cold as it might be outside and snowy, our winter will be soon closing in on us. I don't know about you, but I am so looking forward to Spring. Some of my Spring cottons and books are in at my shop, Wool on William. Are you still knitting hats and scarves and cowls for the cold weather? Well so am I. March is supposed to be a cold month. Don't fret. Spring is almost here. Easter is also coming. Knit your easter bunnies and eggs for your Easter basket. I'll be knitting lightweight cardigans for the summer upon us. Happy Knitting.
