For the love of all things cozy!!
Hello, I’m Diana Poirier, mother to Mathieu (my 21 year old son) and wife to Marc for the past 24 years. My knitting journey all began when my mother taught me how to knit when I was about 9 years old – how to cast on and the knit and purl stitches. I would knit … Read more My Story

I got my Mountain Cabin Cardigan off the needles last night!
Just have to add the cuffs, sew it up and reinforce the edges in the front so they sit more flat. Then it will be completely done! 😉 Oh, and weave in the ends!! Lol!
This was actually a pretty quick knit. I used 2 strands of Aran weight yarn held together and large needles.
I’m not too sure when I’ll have the pattern ready, but hopefully before the end of the year! 🤞
Have a wonderful day!

This gorgeous green piece is going to be a long vest! I don’t have a long vest in my wardrobe yet and wanted one, so what better than to make myself one! 😁
I’m going to add pockets (because pockets are great) and maybe fringes on the bottom. 🤔
Oh, and please don’t mind the stripped bed in the background! LOL! It’s linen washing day!
This weekend is sunny and warm here, so I’ll be heading into the pool soon. I want to get in as much swimming as I can before we close the pool for the season.
I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend! 😘

Here’s my current pile of projects — and they’re all so close to being finished!
I’ve got a Meet Me For Coffee sweater, a knitted vest, and my Mountain Cabin Cardigan (which I’ll be writing a pattern for!).
It’s Friday, and I’m working from home today… but these cozy projects are definitely calling my name! 😂
Maybe I’ll sneak in a few rows before I officially start the day.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!

The Vivie Sweater features a loose ribbing that flatters the waist, a graceful boat neckline, and beautifully dramatic long sleeves finished with deep cuffs.
Designed with versatility in mind, this sweater is made to complement and flatter a variety of body shapes.
This sweater is constructed of 2 pieces knit separately and sewn together, makes this pattern great for knitters looking to knit their first garment.
The Vivie sweater has become one of my favourite sweaters to pair with wide legged dress pants or a flared skirt and heels.
It has such an elegance to it – perfect for dinner dates and Holiday parties.
Head over to my Etsy shop or LoveCrafts to get your pattern today!
Happy knitting.

Well, I cast on another project! 😁
I promised myself I wouldn’t because I only had 2 projects on needles and was going to finish those first, but this gorgeous Ocean Blue yarn was just begging to be used!
I’m making myself another Meet Me For Coffee sweater. ☕️ A boxy, oversized sweater to throw on over a tank or tee for those casual coffee dates.
It’s a beginner friendly pattern and it’s available in my Etsy shop – http://www.etsy.ca/shop/PeartreeKnitting.
Check it out! You may want to make one for yourself too! 😉
Have a great weekend everyone!

A little Vivie Sweater photo shoot this afternoon.
I’m working on finishing up the pattern and hope to have it published by the end of August.
STAY TUNED!

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!

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!

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!! 🏊♀️
