Another sweater done…

Diana Poirier

I got my sweater sewn up! 😁 I’ve decided to call it “The Casual Friday Sweater”.



This is the fourth piece I want to write a pattern for, so I better get at it.

I promised most patterns would be available in August, and it’s now August!

I’ve just been feeling very creative lately and like to take advantage of that when I can.

It’s Friday today, so I’m wishing everyone an amazing weekend ahead!

No name yet…

Diana Poirier

It was a good day to finish a sweater! 😁

Well, not quite finished. I still have to sew it up and weaven in the ends! 🙄

This one is still nameless. It’s a super easy and quick chunky knit that’s stylish and versatile.

I’m hoping to have this pattern also available in the Fall of this year, so stay tuned!

Her name is Vivie…

My Vivie Sweater is now sewn up. 🙂  I still have to weave in the ends though.

I really don’t know why I procrastinate so much when it comes to sewing. 🤔 It never takes me long!

Anyways, now to write pattern out and take photos, but I’m not in a hurry.

I’m planning to publish this sweater and the Autumn Harvest Cocoon Sweater both in August, so stay tuned!

It’s going to be a hot, hot week here in Windsor so I’m planning to spend the rest of the week in the pool!! 🏊‍♀️

Second time’s a charm…

Diana Poirier

My Autumn Harvest cocoon sweater is off the needles! 😁

This is my second attempt at designing this sweater and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I pinned it together to try it on, so it still has to be sewn up.

We’re having friends for dinner this weekend, so I won’t have time to sew it today because I have to clean! 😅

Having finished all these projects lately, my house got a bit neglected. 🙄

Have a great day!

It’s off the needles…

Diana Poirier

I’m done!!! 😁 Well, I still have to sew it together, but it’s off my needles!

I pinned it together so I could try it on, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I don’t have a name yet though. 🤔 Maybe I’ll come up with one this weekend!

It’s finally supposed to warm up, so I’m hoping to get in the pool for a swim!

Happy Sunday!

A purple? sweater…

Diana Poirier

I don’t usually wear purple, but I’ve wanted to start incorporating more colour into my wardrobe.

I’m trying to show you the one side of the sweater I’ve finished, but it’s very difficult when I’m holding my phone in my other hand. 😅

I really hope it turns out the way I think it will, 🤞 but who knows. I’ve undone entire sweaters before after sewing them together and trying them on. 🙄

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Making headway…

Diana Poirier

I’m making headway on the re-do of my Autumn Harvest Cocoon Sweater.

I modified the pattern a bit and so far, this one is knitting up straight!

Whew!! 😁

Have a great day and happy knitting!

Back to the drawing board…

Diana Poirier

UGH!!! 🙄 I finally finished this cocoon sweater only to find out, for some reason, my corners don’t match up!!! When I sewed it up, it was so off!!

It looks as if I knit on a bit of a diagonal?? 🤔 Maybe I made some mistakes with the pattern while knitting and didn’t notice? Maybe my tension was different each time I went to work on it?

I did notice one corner was a little off, but I thought I might have accidentally sat on it and it stretched. And when I pinned it together for a try on, I thought it was because it was still on the needles!

So, after all this work, I guess it’s back to the drawing board for this cocoon sweater.

Thank goodness there’s still a ton of time before Fall gets here!

Off to start over!

A shower gift…

Diana Poirier

I’ve just finished knitting this baby blanket for a friend for a shower gift!

Now onto the sweater and hat that will be a part of the gift too.

Baby girl is due early April, so I just might be done in time! 🤞

What have you’ve been working on lately?
