Hi Leslie. lovely to see you. It's wonderful to hear you so upbeat. Wishing you the very best for the treatment, will be sending good vibes your way. Hoping to see you looking fabulous in your array of hats.
I’m so happy to see you. I love your braille hat, it’s perfect. ( I’m one of those people who could visually read it… and would heartedly agree when I did). ❤
From my own experience, you need to go easy on yourself. That said, I was glad to see all your WIPs and FOs, for your sake I’m glad you have this passion to help you fight all the unpleasantness. I had missed the podcast, as life gets in the way, so I had to seek you out. Lots of positive vibes flying your way! ❤❤❤
God Bless you Leslie! It's always so good to see your cheerful face! I'm praying that all will go well with future treatments & that soon all this will be in the past.
Lovely to hear from you, Lesley. Loving all your makes but especially the braille 😂and your cardi with the big twisted rib. Sending best wishes for a full recovery ❤

I send you and the lovely himself all my best wishes, stay strong and beat the f****** cancer in its a**. Sorry, I am not good at swearing on english, but trust me, if have some streong german words for that guy! You dont have to answer this, keep your energy for getting better! All the best for you! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
You and Himself are in my prayers. Your outlook on life is an inspiration for me! You "made" me buy the Recalibrate pattern...lol! I can't wait to get started on it. Love you 💗
Tampons up the nose best thing for unexpected nose bleeds! Keep hydrated and use vaseline up the nose to stop the dried blood irritation. Sorry life is a bit bumpy for you at the moment. Love the knitting especially the hat. Hope to watch you again when your ready, there is no pressure for another podcast until you are ready! Take care x
It is so, so good to see you! I have been thinking of you, so I was delighted to see your podcast pop up. It is because of your giving spirit that so many people want to give to you. I hope that crafting and your loved ones and friends will be comforting. I really like your holiday card display idea-it is a two for, decoration and a place to show your cards, instead of putting them in a basket as we do. Get lots of rest and absorb all of the healing energy and love being sent your way. See you soon!❤
Hello lovely Lesley, oh it's good to see you! Adore the braille hat, well all of the hats really. I think of you often, wishing the coming months to be kind to you. ❤
I got a new IPad and lost your podcast. I just remembered the name of this podcast. I’m very very sorry to find out you’ve been very sick. I will be praying for you and your healing. God bless you !
Hi Lesley, so lovely to see and spend time with you again ❤️ Hope your next treatments go as well as the first one and you dont suffer any bad reactions. You have made some lovely items, so glad youve been able to spend time on your crafts. Take care xxx
Hi lovely Leslie so pleased to see your podcast today. I have been checking to see if you were able to podcast. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you are well very soon. You can beat this, you are a strong person. Big gentle hugs to you, himself and your lovely little dog. Take care, keep smiling,until next time. Lol xxx🧶🐕💕👍🏻
I am chipper whenever I get to spend time with you!❤. Ive got you in my prayers. You are such a gift and I hope this upcoming week sort’s itself out. As we say here, “ Eat your dessert first!”
So good to see you, and you're sounding so up beat - even if that's just for us. (and no need to worry about answering, you have enough to think about) Take care of yourself.
Aw Leslie, I'd love to hear you being yourself and swearing like a sailor, your hilarious. It's so good to see you back for a wee catch-up, and I look forward to each one. Take care of yourself and listen to your body x
Hi, Lesley. It's been lovely to catch up with you. You've been in my thoughts. Love how the hat turned out. I hope it keeps you warm. Sending love and strength. Take care. Xx
"Mary made some modified mittens". Lovely to see you again. You're going to have the best dressed bonce in Brighton (nearest town for alliterative purposes). Gorgeous stole Bentha (sp?) made for you. Sending lots and lots of love. Good to hear Himself is rising to the occasion, and lovely to see Heidi as well.
Hello Lesley, so lovely to see you. I hope your treatments ❤️🩹. I think of you all the time. Sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts. Congratulations to the winners!
Sending oodles of love and best wishes. I had the nose bleeds too but not like yours. That sounds like a really stupendous one. Remember, rest and be kind to yourself. Our hubbies are real stars! HUgs
Hi Brenda - yes, they often drive us mad, but where would we be without them (not that I'll tell him that, of course! Hope you are going along well - I will be in touch soon, I promise. xx
Wow,I sent you an email last night and there you are today! Breast cancer survivor here,was fortunate not to need Chemo just 16 bouts of radiation. God bless all of you going through treatments and Lesley take all the time you need,we'll be here.❤
Hello Leslie. Lovely to see you, as usual and all the things you have been up to. I have a little advice on the nose bleeds, you may already know this already. My husband has some doosies, because he is on blood thinners. The one thing that helps him a lot is ice. I grind it up for him and munches on spoonfuls till things slow down. Cold compress on the back of the neck help as well. You might want to take a thermos of ice with you so you don't get caught short again. It's also a good excuse to keep ice lollies in the freezer. Wishing you all the best for your next round of treatment.
My dear beautiful Leasley, I was sorry you are having such a rough time, wish I could take your pain away. It was lovely to see your cheerful face, and hear your voice. Seeing your well behaved Heidi makes me smile, I have a 9 week old puppy, my my treading in poo is no fun. Time will pass and you will improve and soo will my naughty puppy. 😘🥰🫶🇦🇺
Thank you Lesley, it’s very affirming to see you being so positive and chirpy but I would expect no less. I hope the next session goes ok, see you when you feel like it and don’t bother to answer this. Star of the South Coast!
Lesley, wishing you the best for rounds 2-6. I’m so glad it’s been manageable so far! GREAT news. I was hoping so. My treatment recoveries were complicated so I’m very happy to hear that your first one went so well, minus the nose bleed. Your hats are great and ordering the bamboo caps is the way to go. Big hug from me to you from San Diego!
So good to see you and get a catch up. You’re looking great btw. Sending you all the love on the upcoming chemo. My mom breezed through her chemo so I hope you are as fortunate.
Hi, no need for an answer! Sending kind thoughts and just do as your told and rest whenever needed! 🎉 Use your potty mouth whenever you need too. Always makes me feel better even if its said silently in my head! 🤣🤣 ❤
Hi Sherry - you'd be shocked if I used my potty mouth - I'm not afraid of the four letters! And you're right - it does make us feel better. Hope all is well with you xx Thanks and take care xx
I’m so sorry you’re having to do treatments ! 2022 I had rectal cancer and did 5 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy (2 liquid and pills the rest of the time). I survived and I know you will ! Prayers galore.❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dang it you are so darn creative Leslie - I love your message in braille! I don't know anyone who would have come up with that solution! And yes, a big F ---- cancer is necessary in my world too. Thank you for sharing Leslie and I am so glad there was a kind lad y handy to offer assistance. Thinking of you a lot and sending loving and healing thoughts your way. Cheers from Minnesota. Please don't feel like you need to respond to this message ,
No need for reply’s I hope you do well after your next treatments My cousin that used to get bad nose bleeds used to carry slim tampons to put in his nose when he was bleeding bad. Your knits are beautiful and that crochet sweater is awesome. Merwood sends his love and hopes you are doing the best you can. Glad you have a great support group of family and friends. I wish I could be there to help. Take care
You are on my heart Leslie. I hope you don't have any more nosebleeds and that the next treatment goes ahead as planned. No need to reply, big hugs xox
Your Turtle Dove looks fantastic and so very different than how mine turned out. Mine is so thick and chunky it could possibly stand up on its own. I hope it works this winter. I finished it in the heat of summer, so haven't worn it much. Bless you.
Sorry to learn about the side effects Leslie, but good that you are much better today. The hats you made are beautiful, and you gave me such a giggle when you started talking about the last hat. With the intro you gave I was wondering what on earth you were going to come out with. But loved the final braille choice. You tell ‘em girl… xxx
Lovely to see you Lesley as you have been in my thoughts so much lately. I miss your wonderful sense of humour and a real treat to see it in action today! ( love your beaded hat 🤣) I’m glad to hear you are knitting and crocheting and getting a lot of things made. Don’t worry about commenting etc etc just concentrate on beating this ******* thing and feeling well again. We will be waiting for you whenever you are able to podcast and I send you the best virtual hugs and good wishes that I can. X
So pleased to see you today, I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are getting on with treatment, health etc. love all your makes.Ordering the soft caps to go under your fabulous handmade hats is a great idea. Love your grey cardigan and your Christmas card banner. Take care see you next month. Love Julie Tasmania Australia.❤❤ no reply needed you don’t need to stress over answering comments.❤❤
It’s lovely to see you again and that you haven’t lost your sense of humour 😂. Sorry you’re having a rough time with the treatment but you will get through it. Sending positive thoughts and lots of hugs 🥰 xx
Glad your knitting mojo is coming back. Hope your heling continues well. Still waiting for my mojo to return after surgery on Oct. 5. I did cake some yarn and hoping it encourages me LOL
Good to see you! Sorry your nosebleed kept you from a fun activity. Hopefully that will not become a usual reaction to treatment for you. All good wishes to you from Ohio, USA.❤🙏
Hi Les, take it easy, count down those treatments.Its horrible but you'll get there - shock for me was bone ache from paclitaxol, and correct rest is the answer. Big gentle hugs xxx
Leslie, you and I, having made countless items for others, really get it when someone knits or crochets something for us. It feels like Love! All the best as you continue to heal. x x x
Hi Lesley. Just found your podcast the other month. It’s super. I love your humour and attitude to life. I like to use humour to deal with life t Have you/ are you a teacher or done any acting. Definitely you remind me of someone who would be very good. I wish you all the best in your treatment journey. Again no reply needed. Look forward to next month
Thanks Fiona - lovely to have you here. I have done a bit of amateur dramatics in the past, which was a lot of fun. I've never been a teacher, but have usually ended up training colleagues in whatever job I have done - I guess it's the need to speak! Hope all is well with you and thanks for finding me. xx
@ could I ask a quick question. Mum is 91 and been knitting hats and scarfs for charity. First lot to homeless next to hospital for those in need at discharge. We thought after your video to see about giving the hats to the chemo unit at hospital. She uses acrylic wool for cost and ease of washing for recipient. Insists on very soft yarn much has been returned ! Would that be ok as I know you said about very sensitive heads x
@fionaskolsky560 Hi. I am no expert, but that sounds like great idea. My unit has a box of hats where folks can help themselves, so they will be able to choose the softness and warmth level that suits them best. I'm sure the recipients will be very grateful xx
Another lovely video. I particularly liked the hats you’ve created. I was bald on top going into chemo so I appreciate a nice warm cap. I greatly enjoyed your use of braille to convey the “F” word. Reminded me of Major Alexis Casdagli, born in Greece and emigrated to England. With the outbreak of WWII he enlisted in the British Army, was captured by the Germans and was a prisoner of war for several years. A talented embroiderer, he cross stitched a sampler using whatever fabrics and threads he could find which he hung on the walls of several prisons in which he was captive. He incorporated the swastika in it which probably pleased the Germans. But on one of the borders he stitched a number of dots and lines which were in keeping with the design. Yep, it was Morse Code for “God Save the King” and “F - - - Hitler.” His captors never twigged. His diary was later turned into a published book.
For all those who are in chemo or still have to, I'm thinking of you ❣️ I'm off it myself and know it was hell, but don't forget, when everything is over and the cancer is gone, you can enjoy life again. I still have a few residual symptoms, but I can live with them. It helped me mentally by thinking about the nice things I can do again afterwards, such as knitting and gardening. My family and my parents also helped me through it, but unfortunately my parents died at the end of my chemo.😢 I wish you all a lot of strength, and no matter how difficult it is, stay positive and think about nice things. One day it will be over. Lovely greetings Lily🌸
Hi Lesley. Really good to see you. I made a hat for my daughter’s partner. Pattern on ravelry by Pam Gabriel. It has the F word all over it. He loves it and wears it on site where there are only adults 🙈 although most kids these days are use to hearing it on tv and in music 😵💫. I’m sorry i didn’t get round to entering the mal. I had all good intentions and then forgot 🙈🙈. The nose bleed knocked you quite a bit by sound of it. Thank goodness himself was with you. I vaguely remember my grandmother having chemo. She would get v tired but i wasn’t aware of her other side effects. I was about 16/17 at the time. Typical teenage going through life with blinkers on 🙄. Hope you take the rest you need, when you need it and don’t try and do too much. Take good care of yourself xx
the hats you made are fabulous. also the squares which will become an interesting blankie. Benta (sp?) has treated you very well hope the side-effects don't continue to be nasty and annoying keep taking care xxxxxxx

Hi Lesley. Just found your podcast the other month. It’s super. I love your humour and attitude to life. I like to use humour to deal with life t
Have you/ are you a teacher or done any acting. Definitely you remind me of someone who would be very good. I wish you all the best in your treatment journey. Again no reply needed. Look forward to next month
Thanks Fiona - lovely to have you here.
I have done a bit of amateur dramatics in the past, which was a lot of fun. I've never been a teacher, but have usually ended up training colleagues in whatever job I have done - I guess it's the need to speak!
Hope all is well with you and thanks for finding me. xx
@ could I ask a quick question. Mum is 91 and been knitting hats and scarfs for charity. First lot to homeless next to hospital for those in need at discharge. We thought after your video to see about giving the hats to the chemo unit at hospital. She uses acrylic wool for cost and ease of washing for recipient. Insists on very soft yarn much has been returned ! Would that be ok as I know you said about very sensitive heads x
@fionaskolsky560 Hi. I am no expert, but that sounds like great idea. My unit has a box of hats where folks can help themselves, so they will be able to choose the softness and warmth level that suits them best. I'm sure the recipients will be very grateful xx
Always a pleasure to hangout with you 🤗💕
Another lovely video. I particularly liked the hats you’ve created. I was bald on top going into chemo so I appreciate a nice warm cap. I greatly enjoyed your use of braille to convey the “F” word. Reminded me of Major Alexis Casdagli, born in Greece and emigrated to England. With the outbreak of WWII he enlisted in the British Army, was captured by the Germans and was a prisoner of war for several years. A talented embroiderer, he cross stitched a sampler using whatever fabrics and threads he could find which he hung on the walls of several prisons in which he was captive. He incorporated the swastika in it which probably pleased the Germans. But on one of the borders he stitched a number of dots and lines which were in keeping with the design. Yep, it was Morse Code for “God Save the King” and “F - - - Hitler.” His captors never twigged. His diary was later turned into a published book.
Ah, there you are :) So good to see you!
For all those who are in chemo or still have to, I'm thinking of you ❣️
I'm off it myself and know it was hell, but don't forget, when everything is over and the cancer is gone, you can enjoy life again.
I still have a few residual symptoms, but I can live with them.
It helped me mentally by thinking about the nice things I can do again afterwards, such as knitting and gardening.
My family and my parents also helped me through it, but unfortunately my parents died at the end of my chemo.😢
I wish you all a lot of strength, and no matter how difficult it is, stay positive and think about nice things.
One day it will be over.
Lovely greetings Lily🌸
Signature move is fine!
Love you

Hi Lesley. Really good to see you.
I made a hat for my daughter’s partner. Pattern on ravelry by Pam Gabriel. It has the F word all over it. He loves it and wears it on site where there are only adults 🙈 although most kids these days are use to hearing it on tv and in music 😵💫.
I’m sorry i didn’t get round to entering the mal. I had all good intentions and then forgot 🙈🙈.
The nose bleed knocked you quite a bit by sound of it. Thank goodness himself was with you.
I vaguely remember my grandmother having chemo. She would get v tired but i wasn’t aware of her other side effects. I was about 16/17 at the time. Typical teenage going through life with blinkers on 🙄.
Hope you take the rest you need, when you need it and don’t try and do too much.
Take good care of yourself xx
the hats you made are fabulous. also the squares which will become an interesting blankie. Benta (sp?) has treated you very well hope the side-effects don't continue to be nasty and annoying keep taking care xxxxxxx
