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!
