Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I last wrote my blog. I have been very busy with my LYS. Check out my blog on my Wool on William site. I have been keeping that blog updated. I'm busy knitting my wedding outfit for my daughter's wedding in May. I'm very pleased with the outcome. It's looking beautiful. Time is going so quickly. It's almost the end of February. Another month gone. Now we can focus on Spring! It's on it's way. People will be picking out their cottons for the season, to knit or crochet a beautiful sweater for the cooler days. Happy Knitting!

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.

Merry Christmas!! It's been fun getting ready for the Christmas season in the shop. It goes too fast and I'm very busy with knitting projects for other people for Christmas presents. I'm looking forward to knitting something for myself in the New Year. I'm also busy teaching sock knitting as the funky socks are right in style. The young and old are wearing beautiful colour socks with their suits to work and this makes a statement. People are excited about learning a new art and knitting and crocheting have now become the new go to for a craft. It's never been a dying art as some people tell me, it's just been a quiet art , if you know what I mean. Everyone seems to think the Old Ladies knit, but that's not true. Now a days young and old are in my Stitch-In-Time circle and everyone enjoys their company. So now I'll be getting ready for the New Year upon us and new orders of the Spring Yarns will be on the shelves for the Spring and Summer season. Time is going so quickly and each year seems shorter. Enjoy each day as it comes and be grateful for for what we do have, as I'm so very grateful for my shop Wool on William. Happy New Year and Happy Knitting!!

Well,It's been a long time writing this blog. I have been very busy with my new shop, Wool on William, in downtown Oshawa On. I'm currently working on a new blog starting up on my website for Wool on William. I'll do my best to keep everyone informed on this blog as to what project I'm working on etc. As of now, I have many knitting projects on the go for other people, clients of mine. A cardigan for a lady and two ponchos for twin girls. The cardigan is a Top Down pattern, which I love to do as there is not much sewing involved. I hate sewing!! The ponchos are pink and purple. The honey comb cable pattern throughout the pattern, which I have already made two and now two more. How about knitting or crocheting some red poppies for Remembrance Day. I think I will work on this today as I haven't bought one for this year. So I hope to keep this blog updated along with my new blog. I have been one busy girl, working and loving my passion of knit -ting in my little shop. Happy Knitting
