I was born in the vibrant city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. My roots run deep, with my Lithuanian father hailing from Toronto and my Lithuanian mother from Cleveland, USA. Growing up in the suburbs of Mississauga with my two beautiful sisters and loving parents has shaped who I am today. From a young age, I’ve always embraced my creativity and nurtured a deep love for art. The joy of bringing something beautiful into existence has been my passion, a constant source of inspiration in my life. I thrive on learning new skills and continuously challenging myself to excel at everything I pursue. About five years ago, during a particularly difficult time in my life, I sought a creative outlet to help me cope. That’s when I stumbled upon crocheting. With determination and an eagerness to learn, I began my journey as a self-taught crocheter. What started as a means to heal soon blossomed into something far greater than I could have ever imagined. In 2019, I took a leap of faith and launched my very own small business. Since then, my venture has grown beyond my wildest dreams. Every stitch I make is infused with dedication, love, and a commitment to quality. Each item I create is 100% handmade, cruelty-free, and crafted from top-quality fabric. The most rewarding part of this journey is witnessing the joy my creations bring to my customers. Their smiles and satisfaction are what make every effort worthwhile. I invite you all to support small and local businesses, including my own, Knits by Leksy. Together, we can foster a community that values creativity, passion, and the beauty of handmade artistry. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to sharing my creations with you!
