Seeing you just made my day! I am sending you healing and healthy energy and thoughts and lots of love. ❤️
So glad to see you despite the pain and chills, sending nursely caring. Took in a cream tabby alley cat who insisted he is mine which other cats dispute . Life in US is challenging so spinning again to cope. You are very precious to many.
I am so glad to see you. I think of you often!!!! ❤
I'm sorry you have to go through the therapy. It's horrible I hear. Give yourself all the grace you need. ❤❤❤
Always a treat to see you Lesley! Sending love, solidarity and gentle woolly hugs xx
A knitter in southwest Washington state is very glad to see you here. Half way is important. Keep hanging tough, Leslie!
A knitter in northwest Washington state is too!
Who doesn’t need a sweater that starts with lazy hazy day and ends in the boudoir! Fabulous sweater, fantastic colours and looked amazing on. Best wishes
Lovley to see you Leslie ❤ I hope Thursday goes well
So lovely to see you again, I missed the podcast yesterday. The alpacas are funny, glad you had a good day there, take every little pleasure as they come, they are mood boosters, for when you’re feeling less in control. Extra hugs and take care xx ❤
It’s so lovely to see you. Thinking of you and praying for you. Sending you lots of very gentle hugs and lots of love xxx
Thank you so much for making the huge effort to record and episode. You are going through some rough seas these days. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that you’ll finish your treatments before too long. Fight on, Leslie. You are a brave warrior.
Happy to see you and sorry that the chemo is taking so much out of you. ❤ Thanks. Jane

Hello my dear Lesley. I'm so glad to see you. You've been on my mind so often. I was quite worried when you didn't pop up Saturday. Life sucks to the max sometimes. Cancer and chemo are positively brutal.
I'm glad you were able to have the lovely outing at the farm. Time with animals and in nature are good for the soul. Your Tanis is a beauty and suits you - and fits beautifully. Your friends will love the beret and cowl.
Always rest when you need / want to, it's so important when you're going thru such crap. Don't worry about comments, we're here because we care about you. Sending you positive thoughts and huge virtual hugs. Take very best care of yourself. Looking forward to seeing you next time, whenever that is. ❤️💖💕
Lesley it so lovely to see you, you have been on my mind a lot. You’re almost halfway there which is great. So sorry the treatment is hurting you so badly. We hope to see you again soon. ❤️🩹
I make everyone who stops by for whatever reason leave with SOMETHING. Even if they just throw it away after they leave, it is out of my house! Younger folks are pretty happy with my generousity but the older ones see right through my tactics. Good to see you, wishing you healing energy and happy holidays!
Wishing you the very best ❤. So lovely to see you today, I love your sense of humour! Take care of yourself! 🥰🇨🇦

Sending big healing hugs your way 🤗, You got this 💪🏼.
Loved your jumper, colours are pretty.
What a great way to spend the day, eating nice things and getting to be with alpacas and super cute goats 😊.
If I had the money I’d love a farm with alpacas, emus, pigmy goats, sheep…… I could go on. I have a shire so I’m some of the way there🥰.
Look after yourself xx
So glad you managed to have your.treat after all. Pygmy goats are my very favourite animals! 💕
Your sweater is absolutely stunning! In my opinion, the most beautiful garment you have shared 💎. Best wishes Lesley!
I thought the same thing!

As all the others - so happy to see you here❤❤❤ love your crochet sweater and am quite tempted .
Very good to see you again. Your new sweater is just gorgeous.
Oh, I'm so glad to see you. I've been checking and checking! Cheers!
Absolutely wonderful to see you. Sometimes life kinda sucks, but I’m glad you are getting through. Lots of love and thoughts heading your way. ❤️
Lovely to see you Lesley, keep plodding on, i know its hard, but you will get there. I am at the hematologist every Tuesday for blood tests, my white count is way up, and they dont know why, so may have to have another bone marrow biopsy , trying to cope with dizziness, and balance issues at the moment, and as you know fatigue. Thinking of you,and will keep you in my prayers. Big hug xx Jean.
I was quite concerned when you didn’t pop up on Saturday. So happy to see you today. Stay safe, and take care of yourself.
I was just thinking-- wonder how your doing and you popped up. So glad to see you. It looks like you 2 had a wonderful day at the farm with lots of fresh air and a change of scenery. You hang in there, be strong, you got this as your halfway through the chemo. 🤗
So glad you got to have your day out. Will look forward to seeing you again soon.
That Tannis sweater is really awesome! Looks great. Glad you are investing in yourself a bit with the 'good' yarns. Do more of that please!
Take care of yourself. I am glad that through all this you still have your great sense of humor

Love the Ursa you opened in, lovely colours
I wrote you a note but then managed to make it disappear 😢. I’m happy you had that lovely farm interlude with Himself on a good day. Those are such special moment in the brutality of chemotherapy. Glad you have all the warm woollies to keep you comfy. I developed a real appreciation for them and am especially enjoying them now as we move into the snowy weather. And finally, thank you so much for keeping in touch with all of us via your vlog. It is a wonderful gift! Love and HUgs
So glad to see you back!
Great to see you! Sending you lots of love!!

I have been checking in with your channel to see how you’re feeling. Glad that you posted and I hope you feel better soon.
Great to see you - take care and let things take time. ❤️
I was so happy when you popped up. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately and sending you lots of good thoughts I hope the second half of your chemo goes better than the first just take care of yourself. Your spinning and sweater are both beautiful glad you still feel like crafting. Take care
Sending healing thoughts, and thank you for the kind words ❤
Sorry to see you poorly, stay strong lovely lady ❤ we’re all here for you xx
Your gift giving attitude is refeshing. Slowly adopting similar approach. Bring on the joy of get together without obligations. Hope your treatments go well and you will have a Happy holiday.
Dear Lesley, you have been in my thoughts so much lately and I was overjoyed to see a video from you. I’m sorry the treatment you are undergoing is so rough but being half way through now will hopefully give you a boost! Please don’t worry about replying to comments etc. it is not necessary- we just want to know that you are doing OK. So pleased you enjoyed your day on the farm. It looked and sounded idyllic. Sending healing hugs and much love until you are able to video again. X
Delighted to watch your podcast. What a lovely day out . Sorry to hear of the difficulties with your treatment. I hope things improve soon. Take care.
It is so good to see you again.
That small holding looks like a great place. We’ve had Pygmy goats, chickens and other farm animals. I would really like to get more Pygmy goats, they are so much fun.
Please take care of yourself, I wish you well, thoughts and prayers are with you.
John
Lovely to see you again. Sending love and best wishes. ❤❤❤
So good to see you! Was a wee bit worried about you ❤
As a person with a larger than average head, I hated hats until I started knitting them. So I feel your friend's frustration.
What a beautiful beret, looks lovely. 🌹I am partial to the Warren Zevon version of the song :)
Sending you lots of love!!
Hi Lesley. Fab to see you and hear what you have been up to. The farm sounds like a great experience, especially as you get the experience to yourselves. Himself is enjoying it. If i had known you were going I would’ve asked you to put a pigmy goat 🐐 in your pocket 🤪🤣. I think the are soo cute (naughty but cute)
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough ride with the chemo. That can’t be any fun and i hope the worst of it will be over soon. Take good care of yourself please xxx
Oh Lesley, I am so sorry you have arrived at the brutal phase of chemo. I am so glad you had your lovely day out with the alpacas and Pygmy goats before the chemo knocked you down. Thank you for making my evening by sharing all you stitched and crocheted and knit and spun, and by making me laugh with your “this is not a Christmas present story.” Cancer does make you want to simplify! I am sending you all the good energy with hopes that love and caring can ease the days ahead just a little bit. harpingJanet
Sending a virtual hug 🤗
Great to see you and see the yarnie stuff
Love and hugs to you! ❤
Great sweater and so good to see your face.❤
hey there sweetie! well done on getting the podcast up, considering your ill health, I'm surprised you even managed it - and we all love you for being you, and dont mind in the slightest if you take a break - its totally understandable - be good to yourself xxx. My hubz is going through the same, and he's freeezing! his name is Ollie - just like the llama/alpaca?. Love the beret, the sweaters, the garland, et al. And, if the person feeding the llamas/alpacas is himself, how nice to actually meet him too! so much love to you Lesley
Good to see you! I made the v back t several years ago. The construction makes the fabric hang across the body on an angle. I have a belly and felt uncomfortable with how it wanted to accentuate it. Wishing you all the best. ❤
It’s so nice to see you, Leslie. I was just wondering how you were getting on. Wishing you a Happy Christmas season and sending you hugs!!
It was so lovely to see you Lesley. Delighted you did get to visit the farm in the end. My thoughts are with you at this time, warm hugs and best wishes for the treatment tomorrow. Half way through is a great milestone xxx
It was so good seeing you 🤗 thank you Lesley
Your crochet sweater turned out amazing and it fits you wonderfully 👏👏👏
Lovely that you were able to visit the farm with a little delay and had a great time with the animals and the nice food 😊
I’m sending you healing thoughts and many gentle hugs 🤗
All the best for your treatments and recovery - take good care and I’m looking forward to seeing you soon 🤗
Thinking of you! Hugs! ❤
Hey Lesley. Enjoyed your episode today, loved the beret, and you have inspired me to maybe cast one on for myself once I finish my gift knitting! I too send you healing thoughts, and hope that the second half of chemo goes by quickly and, hopefully, a little easier on you. Sending hugs. ❤🧶
Sending hugs 🤗 🤗
Our dearest Les - you are such a strong woman. I admire your courage in these rough times. I was thrilled to see you come up today. Continued success with that chemo.
So good to see you Lesley. Many positive thoughts and love coming your way 🥰
Good to see you 😊
My dear Leasley, so wonderful to see you. Love the new hair cut ( it looks like mine ). Sending all my healing powers to you, you are always on my mind. The farm looked like a lovely treat, how special. Big hug n many wishes my dear Leasley. ❤🩹🇦🇺🧚🏻♂🎄
