Lovely kitten, indeed! Thanks again for your gentle ways and charming disposition. Ohh those Christmas memories in your decor, so poignant and touching... All the best to you too, Leanne. See you next Year. Take good care 🧶💖🎄✨
Sven is SO perfect 😭 and when you showed his lightbulb head 😂 so cute. I have been on a toy kick for Christmas, and i am working on Wasabi the Whale. But Sven may be next!
Yours is the best Sven I have seen. Adorable! I just rescued two six month old ginger kitties. My house is madness…but in a good way😁. They are obsessed with my yarn,whi his challenging.
I laughed and I cried watching this episode. Your words about loss really touched my heart and tear glands. THank you for your wonderful podcast - sharing your life and your knitting.
Happy Holidays to you and yours. Oh my, your daughter's gift came out beautifully. I love how far up her arms the ribbing goes and how beautifully it drapes. What a loving gift. Sven is adorable and absolutely makes a great addition to your winter decor. Your leg warmers are great - with warm fuzzy slippers, they are a great addition to comfy, cozy hygge nights. A mug of tea and warm knitwear - bliss. Congrats on the new kitten.
I enjoyed the fact that you did your podcast around the antics of your cats. The sweater scarf for your daughter is stunning, very versatile in that it can be worn with jeans to whatever. Thank you for all your lovely podcasts throughout the year. Best wishes to you and your family for an enjoyable Christmas and relaxing New Year.
I loved all of this Leanne!!! Every time you make a toy I think, “why the heck haven’t I gotten on that train yet??” Sven is adorable!! And so are you! Blessings to you and your family and can’t wait to see what 2024 brings!!
Thank you Carmen! Knitted toys aren’t the most practical now that I’m not making them for my kids, but they are just too darn cute, I can’t resist!! Sending the warmest of wishes to you and your family this season and in 2024 friend! Knit on 🤍🤶🎄
Oh those crazy, wonderful kitties. I love Sven so much. I definitely will be adding him to the queue. Your Halibut is looking Perch-fect. I love all of your holiday decor. Now we know who does the North Pole's laundry. Merry Christmas, my beautiful friend ❤
Thank you Tracey!! I think your Blythe dolls would appreciate having a hot Viking around the Craft Lair. The cats omg…Hooligans! That’s the word one viewer used to describe the kitties and that is a “perch-fect” description 🐟.
Sven turned out perfectly, wish I had thought of doing the beard that way, I spent way to much time on it. Many blessings to you and your family! Safe travels
Lovely to see you again and I hope you make Shven a beautiful wife someday soon! Your homemade decor looks so welcoming, your family is very blessed ❤ And aren’t you glad you didn’t have to go to Walmart!! Merry Christmas, safe travel mercies to you✈️💕🎄
I keep cracking up with all the Cat shenanigans!! A typical cat household!! Sven is so CUTE and your daughter looks GREAT in the sweater scarf!! BEAUTIFUL trees with the lights and snow!!!
Thank you for sharing all your knitting along with your home decor, which is lovely. I have to say I was chuckling as you dealt with you cats!! Your daughter's sweater/shawl is beautiful. Did you see Nancy's from Knit, Sip, Happy? And, Sven!! What can I say. So darn cute!! Have a safe and happy holiday!!
Oh thank you! Yes Nancy sent me some encouragement to keep going on the sweater scarf… her daughters was the length of a hallway! Happy holidays and all the best for 2024🤍!
This was definitely a Kitty Stew episode. It was too funny how your adult cat had its back turned when you came back from the tree rescue. ☺️ Filming from the hotel room is in theme for your channel. I was a little confused when I saw that you were not in a hotel room. 🙂 Sven is adorable. 😍 The cozy memories segment was heartwarming. 😇 Thanks for sharing. ❤
Yeah, it’s cat pandemonium around here. Thank you for watching. Sven makes me smile. He’s hanging out next to Terje the Tomte by Alan Dart. Terje has an even bigger beard than Sven. Wishing you a very merry Christmas and all the best in 2024!! 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗🤍✨
Another great podcast. I just love them.Your halibut sweater is turning out incredible! I adore Sven! Soooo cute and fun. I lost my19 yr old kitty last month, and I really loved seeing your cats. Kitten is adorable and a full on kitten. Loved his mischief! So fun. Blessings to you and your family in the New Year and thanks so much for your podcasts.
Oh thank you so much. And I am very sorry about the loss of your 19 year old cat. 😢 Sincere condolences to you. Wishing you a cozy December and a happy knitting year ahead in 2024. 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗
Sven is adorable. So much detail with him. I made knitted bunnies for my twin grandkids at Easter and it was very time consuming...not sure when I'll attempt that again. Your leg warmers are up my alley right now...something mindless but useful. Enjoy your Christmas.
Leanne! Thank you so much for the laughter and sweetness. I love your furbabies antics. What cuties. I'm the same with newsletters. Eeek! 🤣 Merry Christmas and Happiest of New Years to you!!!! - Kimberly
Oh Leanne, this might be my favorite of all of your videos. Lovely projects, and that sweater wrap looks great on your beautiful daughter. Your cats made me laugh so much! 😻 Your "your wings were ready, but my heart was not" made me cry. I lost my "little brother" late August 2022. Still miss him terribly. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas full of love, laughter, and happy memories. 😊❤️ P.S. - And Sven is awesome! 😄
Aw thank you so so much. Sending my condolences on the loss of your brother. It’s my brother Rick (passed in Nov 2020) standing with our Mom and Dad on that special ornament. This can be a bittersweet time of year. The cat chaos is helpful distraction!
Omg, Leanne! I love your podcasts so much! Sitting down with my mug of coffee and homemade Christmas cookies my mom and daughter sent (they get together every year to bake them - it’s their special tradition) Sven will definitely be making his way to my needles - too fun! Your flying footage and stories remind me of how much I loved the years I flew -one of my favorite life chapters. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, peaceful, joy-filled holiday season. With love, Kim O
What a lovely podcast Leanne. I LOVE your cats, especially appreciated Allie posing so beautifully! I enjoyed their antics! Thanks for showing all your handmade for Christmas, so beautiful and well done. Sven is spectacular! Oh my, I want a Sven, can’t believe he is knit all in one piece, minus his hat, ADORABLE! Your halibut sweater is gorgeous and I like the colour choices. Have a wonderful Christmas and as always looking forward to the next podcast.
Thank you Shannon! Toys are so rewarding aren’t they? I don’t mind them because they really do make me happy. 🎄🤗🧑🏼🎄🤍 All the best of the season ahead and in 2024!!
Hi Leanne thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home and wonderful knits.I plan to definitely start busting my balls in 2024 with the caveat of souvenir yarn from Unwind in Okotoks when I visit my family in February and using a birthday day gift card at my gorgeous LYS Black Sheep Wools 😆😆That will keeping me going 🤪Have a wonderful Christmas🎄 and New Year 🥳with all your family and friends.Looking forward to knitting with you in 2024 🧶🌺
Love the latest “surprise”‘ addition, his colouring is gorgeous- kitty stew 🤣😂 Omg Sven!! That beard! That hat, he’s so good. Just looking at him makes me smile. You pulled his hat off and I thought I was going to pee myself 😆🤣 Your halibut looks so good, that collar 🖤 I’ve got tough skin so I could cope with it up 💪🏻😆 Thanks for another fab episode. Have a wonderful Christmas, fun flights and a Happy New Year. Karen 🥰
Thank you so much Karen for being here this year. Omg poor Sven and his MASSIVE lightbulb head 🤣💡 Cracks me up. Happy Holidays and Happy Making in 2024!! 🎄🤗🧑🏼🎄
Love Sven! I'll aim to knit that next year. All the best for the festive season. Hope you have safe travels until you can celebrate with peaceful relaxation.
Loved this podcast. Your fur babies are so cute. Sven is an adorable family addition. Those red and green Christmas trees at the end look awesome. Have a Merry Christmas and safe flying.
Leanne, thanks for sharing footage of family pictures and Christmas decor. What beautiful memories you've created over the years. Sven is just so stinkin cute and will be such a perfect addition to your home. Safe travels. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Your kitten is adorable. Life with animals is such a treasure. I need a Sven now and become my Christmas Day cast on and I’m th8nking what a great gift for a few special friends in 2024. I wish you and your family a healthy and happy holiday season and turning of the year.
Good Morning from NW Calgary! I’m sitting here knitting on the pressed flowers sweater, after just finishing the pressed flower shawl…….just love it! Merry Christmas to all.
Hi Barbara! Fellow Calgarian knitting away over here. I think I need more pressed flowers patterns in my life. Happy holidays to you and happy new year.🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗🤍
Leanne, your cats were so much fun and so beautiful. Enjoy them and no need to apologize for them. Your finished objects were great, the sweater scarf looks great on your daughter. Sven was just the cutest!!! Your gifts to yourself were wonderful and what you need. Enjoy, Have a Merry Christmas, great News Years, Safe travels. See you in the New year
Leanne your Christmas decorations are gorgeous, and your Sven is priceless, love the beard. As always your projects are inspiring and Beautiful, as you are. Have a very Merry Christmas. 🎄🤗
Wow love that Sven (I can see him skiing or chopping wood--hee hee) and your Halibut sweater is looking super. Thanks for all you share with us Leanne and hope you have a cozy December and New Year!
Love UR leg warmers,,,, and u got the sweater scarf for UR daughter!!!! Sven is so cute,,,,, Merry Christmas,,,,,Leanne,,, Elaine 🏘⛄ Love all the Kitkats,,,
I haven't knitted any toys lately but I adore Clair Garland's designs, which I found through you when you knit the cute little frog last year (I made quite a few of those). This year, I laughed out loud when you showed up Sven's bulbous head - reminds me of the Muppets character Beaker lol. I imagine just looking at Sven will make anyone smile. Beautiful handiwork! Also, I can definitely relate with pesky but adorbs kitties.
Thank you for all the podcasts about your travels.We used to travel to Canada often and I recognise some of the places you have visited. I think I'm ready to plan another visit and I will definitely be visiting some yarn shops. Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year. You inspire me with all your beautiful knitting projects. Happy Holidays to you and yours from Scotland.
Just catching up with you Leanne. Love Sven, he really is gorgeous! Hope you had a good Xmas and wishing you a very Happy peaceful New Year🎉🎇. Safe travels and happy knitting❤
Oh, the cats! You can post some cat clips at the end of your videos anytime. I❤cat chaos. The sweater (long sleeved + beige/oatmeal) you showed close to the end is beautiful, but i didn't catch the details. The mitten kit is a natural winner, too. I have to rework my one pair of colorwork mittens before i start a new pair. Happy holidays to you and your family. Many thanks for including us in your life.
Dear Leann; Yet another amazing video; loved every second of it!! I have kitties too, so watching yours was enjoyable to me!! Your projects and yarns always inspire me!! Wishing you and your family a Wonderful Holiday Season and A Peacful New Year! ✨🎄 🕊 Take Care, Happy Making & Safe Travels!! 🧶✈🤗 ~ Best Always ~ Lori ❤
Wishing everyone a season filled with warmth, joy, and endless moments of happiness! May your holidays be merry and bright, surrounded by the love of family and friends. Merry Christmas
Sven is a very handsome man, he reminds me of the logger in the cbc little animated log driver song. He was supposedly very popular with the ladies as he jumped from log to log on the river. 😂. Lovely video as usual , we have 2 new kittens who are just so sweet , they wrestle ,chase about wildly then collapse in a deep sleep. I hope you get some family time over the holidays, though it might be nice to see Christmas traditions in other parts of the world there is nothing better than being with family over the holidays🥰🙋🏼♀️
That’s so funny… someone else had mentioned that as well I might have to try and find that CBC log driver song! Merry Christmas to you and I hope the kitty chaos in your household makes you smile 🎄🤗🤍🧑🏼🎄
Your cats are hooligans, exactly like mine but we love them! What you can do with a scratchy neck sweater is to line it by sewing in one of those thin cotton stretchy neck/head bands. Here in UK Seasalt do beautiful ones AND right now they’re on sale.
Oh Christmas in the snow looks sooooo pretty! (It's pretty in a green way here in Victoria but snow sure brings out the lights and the trees! 😮) Happy turning of the year to you, Leanne 🎉❤ Thank you so much for a fabulous year of knitty stewing! Take care xo
What a riot. Bugs has a beautiful patterned coat. Love Sven. I'm going to cast on a Christopher Bunny designed by Susan B. Anderson. It will be my first stuffed toy (not counting the "million" little gnomes I've knit). Merry Christmas. No snow in mid-coast Maine or Down East. We had some and it was beautiful for a week. Even stayed on the trees. But rain washed it away. More rain due Mondqy.
Happy knitting to you Jackie! I am a BIG Susan B Anderson toy knitter… her patterns are guaranteed perfection. I have most of her books. Sending you a white Christmas miracle!
Sven - the scandinavian, I love him😍 Thank you, Leanne for all the inspiration you have giftet us this year and for all the trips you have taken us on❤ Wishing you and your family a blessed and merry christmas🌟 winter greetings from Norway
Happy New Year from the We(s)t Coast. Not caught up yet on your series but you keep asking what we are working on, so here goes: 1. a pair of self striping socks. Yarn from the talented indie dyer, Mudpunch, Vancouver. I bought 3 skeins last spring and this pair is the last set. 2. Jan 1st I cast on the Killer Queen shawl by Lyrical knits & making my way along, using Malabrigo, Rios, Azalea (from my stash!) and MC is Grey Harbour Woolstok worsted. Lots of joy happening on the shawl so far because I made an enormous swatch to test all the new stitches. I am working both borders *very loosely* Have a wonderful woolly 2024! 🇨🇦 ❤ 🐑 🧶 ☕ 🧦 ✈ 🧤 🧣
Love this home episodes and the mischievous kitty Bug! Now, I am totally inspired to knit a Sven! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄❤
Sven is adorable, even with his ginormous cranium!! . Thank you so much for being here I’m wishing you a cosy December Solange and all the best in 2024. 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗🤍✨
Hi Leanne, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. That’s the last year Christmas 23. This is 24. However your daughter is lovely and that sweater is just perfect for her and you did a great job. Yeah I really admire your work and I like your house too And the cats. Oh my gosh I love the cats. My daughter has three cats. They’re all Russian skin with her heels. Yeah she doesn’t like cat hair and three and three cats and they run the show so take care going with your work and I’m sure you had a great year cause now it’s 24 and you still banging away so just be careful don’t push the balls.
Just now catching up on watching podcasts from the holidays, had too many gifts to finish. This is my favorite episode, thank you for sharing your home and your fur babies with us. Love Sven! My house is filled with cats also. My oldest, Pepper, is 19. They are wonderful companions. Wishing you a safe and blessed New Year.
I hope you were able to relax and work on something for yourself after all the gift knits! Knitting and cats … i was destined to be a cat lady. Happy New Year!
Thank you Leanne for such a lovely video. The perfect way to end my day. And, I finished my sock wip! ❤ I look forward to your next video. Merry Christmas!
Being single, I'm inspired to knit up a darling little man like Sven for each season. He's SO CUTE. 😮
Absolutely! Do it. Sven is a sweetheart and will treat you right 😊
All the knits are great, Sven is adorable!
🎄🤗🧑🏼🎄🤍 Thank you!!

Thank you Tracey!! I think your Blythe dolls would appreciate having a hot Viking around the Craft Lair. The cats omg…Hooligans! That’s the word one viewer used to describe the kitties and that is a “perch-fect” description 🐟.
Sven turned out perfectly, wish I had thought of doing the beard that way, I spent way to much time on it.

This was definitely a Kitty Stew episode. It was too funny how your adult cat had its back turned when you came back from the tree rescue. ☺️
Filming from the hotel room is in theme for your channel. I was a little confused when I saw that you were not in a hotel room. 🙂

Toys are sooo fiddly but I usually find by the time i cast them off I forget because they are so cute. 🩵😊🎄

Love all the Kitkats,,,
Thank you Elaine merry Christmas to you and all the best in 2024. I appreciate you being here! 🎄🤗🧑🏼🎄🤍
I haven't knitted any toys lately but I adore Clair Garland's designs, which I found through you when you knit the cute little frog last year (I made quite a few of those). This year, I laughed out loud when you showed up Sven's bulbous head - reminds me of the Muppets character Beaker lol. I imagine just looking at Sven will make anyone smile. Beautiful handiwork! Also, I can definitely relate with pesky but adorbs kitties.
Hahaha 😂 You are so right. Without that toque Sven totally looks like Beaker!!! lol 💡
Thank you for all the podcasts about your travels.We used to travel to Canada often and I recognise some of the places you have visited. I think I'm ready to plan another visit and I will definitely be visiting some yarn shops. Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year. You inspire me with all your beautiful knitting projects.
Happy Holidays to you and yours from Scotland.
Thank you Gwyneth! I hope you have a wonderful trip if you do come on over!
Just catching up with you Leanne. Love Sven, he really is gorgeous! Hope you had a good Xmas and wishing you a very Happy peaceful New Year🎉🎇. Safe travels and happy knitting❤
Thank you Janette! I’m pretty smitten with Sven myself 😂 merry Christmas, and all the best into 2024!!!! 🎄 🌟
Sven is too 😊 Enjoy your travels and happy holidays 😊
Thank you! Happiest holidays to you 🤗🧑🏼🎄🎄
I always enjoy your videos. Your cats were a hoot! Thanks for all your making and sharing. Happy holidays to you and yours!
Thank you Heidi! Wishing you a cozy December and a wonderful 2024! 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗
Oh, the cats! You can post some cat clips at the end of your videos anytime. I❤cat chaos.
The sweater (long sleeved + beige/oatmeal) you showed close to the end is beautiful, but i didn't catch the details. The mitten kit is a natural winner, too. I have to rework my one pair of colorwork mittens before i start a new pair.
Happy holidays to you and your family. Many thanks for including us in your life.
Hi Valerie. The sweater is called Jule Do by Isabell Kraemer. So pretty! Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗
@theknittystew thanks! Unsure why I couldn't find that exact sweater. However, I am delighted at my of her other designs, eg. The purl code!
Dear Leann; Yet another amazing video; loved every second of it!! I have kitties too, so watching yours was enjoyable to me!! Your projects and yarns always inspire me!! Wishing you and your family a Wonderful Holiday Season and A Peacful New Year! ✨🎄 🕊
Take Care, Happy Making & Safe Travels!! 🧶✈🤗 ~ Best Always ~ Lori ❤
Thank you so much Lori! All the very best to you and yours! Merry Christmas 🎄!
What a fabulous Sven 😊 Thanks for a lovely episode, your cats are gorgeous. Merry Christmas
Thank you Ulla! Warmest wishes to you too!
Wishing everyone a season filled with warmth, joy, and endless moments of happiness! May your holidays be merry and bright, surrounded by the love of family and friends. Merry Christmas
Thank you Donna! Sending warmest wishes to you and yours 🤍🤍🤍
Sven is a very handsome man, he reminds me of the logger in the cbc little animated log driver song. He was supposedly very popular with the ladies as he jumped from log to log on the river. 😂. Lovely video as usual , we have 2 new kittens who are just so sweet , they wrestle ,chase about wildly then collapse in a deep sleep.
I hope you get some family time over the holidays, though it might be nice to see Christmas traditions in other parts of the world there is nothing better than being with family over the holidays🥰🙋🏼♀️
That’s so funny… someone else had mentioned that as well I might have to try and find that CBC log driver song! Merry Christmas to you and I hope the kitty chaos in your household makes you smile 🎄🤗🤍🧑🏼🎄
Oh my goodness Leanne! Sven just made me so happy :D Maybe Sven is gonna be my next project!
I'm so glad!
The wrap for your daughter is lovely, as is she. Great new hat on the needles. Have a very merry Christmas and happy New Year! 🎄🧑🏻🎄🎄🎊🥂🎊
Thank you! You too Evie! 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗🤍
I just did a test knit for the bluebird box. Love your kitties.
Yes, Anna has some beautiful patterns doesn’t she?!!
Your cats are hooligans, exactly like mine but we love them! What you can do with a scratchy neck sweater is to line it by sewing in one of those thin cotton stretchy neck/head bands. Here in UK Seasalt do beautiful ones AND right now they’re on sale.
Hooligans! Thats the best description! Stretchy headbands for non scratchy necks!! Genius!! Thanks for being here all the best to you 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗
Oh Christmas in the snow looks sooooo pretty! (It's pretty in a green way here in Victoria but snow sure brings out the lights and the trees! 😮) Happy turning of the year to you, Leanne 🎉❤ Thank you so much for a fabulous year of knitty stewing! Take care xo
Happy Turning of the Year !!
What a riot. Bugs has a beautiful patterned coat. Love Sven. I'm going to cast on a Christopher Bunny designed by Susan B. Anderson. It will be my first stuffed toy (not counting the "million" little gnomes I've knit). Merry Christmas. No snow in mid-coast Maine or Down East. We had some and it was beautiful for a week. Even stayed on the trees. But rain washed it away. More rain due Mondqy.
Happy knitting to you Jackie! I am a BIG Susan B Anderson toy knitter… her patterns are guaranteed perfection. I have most of her books. Sending you a white Christmas miracle!
Ally Kitty is gorgeous so intense, and Sven looks like a Viking, I was thinking that before you mentioned it.
Yesssss mission accomplished then! Yay! Thank you. 🎄🤗🧑🏼🎄
Sven - the scandinavian, I love him😍 Thank you, Leanne for all the inspiration you have giftet us this year and for all the trips you have taken us on❤ Wishing you and your family a blessed and merry christmas🌟 winter greetings from Norway
Thank YOU!! So happy to have you here!
I love your videos…in and out of Calgary!thank you for posting all your fun knitted objets d’art. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ⛄️
Thank you Ellena! 🎄💓🤶
Love your leg warms. Also great family photos. Merry Christmas
Thank you! Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024 to you Janette! 🤍🎄🧑🏼🎄
Happy New Year from the We(s)t Coast.
Not caught up yet on your series but you keep asking what we are working on, so here goes: 1. a pair of self striping socks. Yarn from the talented indie dyer, Mudpunch, Vancouver. I bought 3 skeins last spring and this pair is the last set.
2. Jan 1st I cast on the Killer Queen shawl by Lyrical knits & making my way along, using Malabrigo, Rios, Azalea (from my stash!) and MC is Grey Harbour Woolstok worsted.
Lots of joy happening on the shawl so far because I made an enormous swatch to test all the new stitches. I am working both borders *very loosely*
Have a wonderful woolly 2024! 🇨🇦 ❤ 🐑 🧶 ☕ 🧦 ✈ 🧤 🧣
Merry Christmas Leanne, and thank you for all the lovely podcasts this year. Lovely to see so many photos of you and your family in this video. ❤️
Thank you Sue! 🎄 Merry Christmas to you!
Love this home episodes and the mischievous kitty Bug! Now, I am totally inspired to knit a Sven! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄❤
Happy holidays Manon (((biiiig hugs)))!!!

Sven is adorable, even with his ginormous cranium!! . Thank you so much for being here I’m wishing you a cosy December Solange and all the best in 2024. 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗🤍✨
Merry Christmas to you, your family and the cats, Leanne! 🧑🎄🐈⬛
Thank you Alison you too! 🎄🤗🧑🏼🎄
Thank you for your chaotic kitty episode, I really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas Leanne 🎄⛄
Merry Christmas, and all the best in 2024 to you!!! 🌟
Hi. if Sven is a Viking he need som long hair. I am from Denmark. Love your new kitten.😁
Yes, you are so right! And he could use some hair to cover that big head of his!!
Another lovely episode. I too love the rituals of the holidays, bringing out special items. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones. See you soon.
Thank you Josee! Merry Christmas, and all the best in the new year! 🎄🎄🤗🤍
Hi Leanne, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. That’s the last year Christmas 23. This is 24. However your daughter is lovely and that sweater is just perfect for her and you did a great job. Yeah I really admire your work and I like your house too And the cats. Oh my gosh I love the cats. My daughter has three cats. They’re all Russian skin with her heels. Yeah she doesn’t like cat hair and three and three cats and they run the show so take care going with your work and I’m sure you had a great year cause now it’s 24 and you still banging away so just be careful don’t push the balls.
SVEN! Made me smile! Merry Christmas
He is making me smile every day when I look at him!! 🎄🧑🏼🎄🤗🤍
Just now catching up on watching podcasts from the holidays, had too many gifts to finish. This is my favorite episode, thank you for sharing your home and your fur babies with us. Love Sven! My house is filled with cats also. My oldest, Pepper, is 19. They are wonderful companions. Wishing you a safe and blessed New Year.
I hope you were able to relax and work on something for yourself after all the gift knits! Knitting and cats … i was destined to be a cat lady. Happy New Year!
Thank you Leanne for such a lovely video. The perfect way to end my day. And, I finished my sock wip! ❤ I look forward to your next video. Merry Christmas!
Wonderful! Thank you Deb! All the best to you 🎄 🧑🏼🎄
