I remember being eight years old, sitting on a taupe-colored couch, clutching pencil-sized, plastic, red knitting needles and wrapping multi-colored purple and green yarn (which, at the time, I thought was the most beautiful and ingenious color combination ever) around them. My grandmother was teaching me how to knit.

And so the obsession began.

My name is Leney, and I work full time as a knitwear designer and creator in Richmond Virginia. I've been artsy ever since I was a little girl, and I can't remember a time when I wasn't creating in some way shape or forum. (And I'm talkin' handmade vests out of paper grocery bags decorated with pom poms, glitter, and glue. And Caprisun purses. Oh and belts made from pop tabs. Yep. I was an extremely resourceful and stylish kid).

Additionally, I'm a photographer! Taking photos is another one of my many passions. Especially when I can couple it with traveling. You can read more about that on my website: www.agirlnamedleney.com

In short, creating is what I do, whether it's with yarn and knitting needles or with a camera capturing images. I live and breathe it every day, and through it I strive to give glory to my Creator, because He's the one who gave me these talents and abilities to begin with.


Thanks for stopping by.
Shoot me an email.
I also love new friends.

P.s. The Knitting Queen?
It's something a friend called me once, and it's monicker that's just sort of just stuck ever since.
Even Siri calls me that. So it's legit.
