Testimonials

"Your designs are great, the patterns written clearly"
Judy


"We made the sweater...and it is a hit."
Patricia's Yarn Cabin


"I ordered a couple of patterns from her Web site, www.oknitting.com and asked a few questions about substituting yarns and needles. Leanne not only answered the questions clearly and thoroughly, but actually knitted a couple of special swatches to demonstrate the effects I could get at different gauges.

As another woman who runs a small business single-handedly I know how difficult it can be to get everything done, let alone go "above and beyond" the essentials. So this is a thank-you and a testimonial."
Barbara


"designs are innovative and fun"
Editor, Knit Together

 

"I really like your patterns.  They are unique and yet easy to create.  So perfect for today's knitter."

Paulette Lane, Editor of Accord Publishing's Knitting Calendars (2005 - 2007)
