What a beautiful tribute to your Mom and how great to have her knitted sweaters to wear! It’s never easy to lose Moms I have special memories of my Mom. ❤️🙏

Dear Leslie thank you for sharing your sweet mom with us and in previous episodes - it’s clear she was incredibly special to you and your family ❤️. She leaves her joy and knitting skills with you such a precious gift. Cherish it all as I’m sure you will. My momma passed in July of 2021- we were blessed to have her live with us the last 7 months of her life. We are so grateful. Like your mom, my mom also passed peacefully surrounded by all who loved her. Sending you hugs and love 💕

What a lovely tribute to your wonderful mother. I lost my mom a few years ago and she instilled in me the love of knitting. I think of her everyday as I knit. What a precious gift ours mothers left us. ❤️

How precious you have your Mom’s beautiful sweaters to wrap your self in her love of knitting. The video at the end is so beautiful. Your Mom’s baby sweater is just lovely. Your Mom raised a beautiful family and what a treasure to share the love of knitting with your Mom. Blessings Leslie to you and your family. You are in my prayers and I feel your heartache dear friend. ❤️

My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother Leslie. Mothers are such a special part of our lives; it's almost like losing a part of oneself. Barbie Lou was an amazing woman - you can tell just by the pictures shown and the video you shared with us. She passed on her love of knitting to you, and as you put it so eloquently, you now have her lovely stitches wrapped around you. ♥

Sending love to you Leslie and I think it's wonderful you can wear your mothers sweaters now and feel connected to her. I pour love into every stitch when knitting and bless everyone garment when it's done so whoever wears it will feel supported and loved. If we all did that think how much love would be anchored into the world! Sending you blessings 🙏❤️

Thank you for sharing your mom with us. What a beautiful person. I lost my mom at 12 years old. I too carry her knitting and sewing teachings with me today. It keeps our loved ones with us forever until we can be with them again. ❤

Thanks for the lovely tribute to your beloved mother Leslie. My mom passed away a few weeks ago and so I completely understand where you are at. It's an enormous loss. How blessed were were to have such wonderful mamas! To quote Emily Dickenson, "This world is not conclusion, A sequel stands beyond, Invisible as music, As positive as sound." Wishing you comfort and joy.
