Well I finally picked up my cardigan again that I started earlier in the year, or maybe even last year!! 🤔 Lol. I’m not too sure really.
Anyways, I am writing the pattern for this one and am hoping to have it out in a few weeks so please stay tuned.
It is created using the garter stitch and knit in one piece and sewn together. It will have the option to add pockets too!
So off I go to get this finished. Only 21 more rows to go before I cast off!
Happy Sunday.

Knitting blankets!! LOTS and lots of blankets. LOL!
I do have a cardigan pattern I’m working on, and I’m hoping to get that out before the end of October, but please don’t hold me to that. 😁

A customer who downloaded my Hillside Baby Blanket sent me some photos of the finished blanket.
Isn’t it GORGEOUS? She used an aran weight yarn and knit using 2 strands of yarn at one time, instead of using a bulky weight yarn. She also wanted to make the blanket wider, so she cast on more stitches than the pattern called for.
If you’re looking to make your own Hillside Baby Blanket, you can grab your copy HERE!
Thank you for sharing your pictures Corrinne. It was so lovely to see your finished project.
I hope everyone has a great day and happy knitting.

Hi there.
Still working away on the baby blankets. I have 3 done so far! I really love the colours! So Springy!! 💐
I still haven’t decided if I’m going to sell them on Etsy, just put them up on my Facebook page for local purchase or maybe just give them away! LOL! 🤔
I have started another one and will probably be done soon. It’s a soft, pale pink!
Well, off to finish up the next blanket.
Have a wonderful day!

Well hello there.
I wanted to share with you the next colour in my Spring/Summer baby blanket palette – Light Country Peach. 🍑
I’m trying to get a few blankets knit before putting them up in my Etsy shop for sale. I’m planning on having a Spring/Summer collection and then a Fall/Winter collection all based on 2024 colour trends for nurseries.
Below are images of nurseries that inspired the light country peach colour. Aren’t they gorgeous?
Well, off the start blanket number 3. The next colour up is “Persimmon” and it’s such a beautiful, vibrant colour. I can’t wait for you to see it.
Have a great day!

Hi there everyone. I hope you had a really wonderful holiday. Mine was nice, but quiet, spent with close family.
I wanted to share with you my most recent project – this gorgeous corner to corner baby blanket.
I’m thinking in 2024 I might try my hand at selling baby blankets. I have only sold patterns to date, but I LOVE creating baby blankets, so thought I would try selling a finished product.
I’ve researched trending nursery colours for 2024 and choose some of the most popular colours to use for the blankets.
Below are some photos of nurseries that inspired the my blanket colour choice and a photo of my corner to corner baby blanket in “Gold”.
I promise to keep you up to date with whether or not I decide to sell the blankets on line. I truly think though, I will give it a shot. Really, what do I have to lose?? 🙄
Well, off to get my second blanket started.
I hope you have a great day and that it involves some knitting! 😉

I forgot to share with you the finished Hillside Baby Blanket I made for my friend’s first grandbaby that was born in July! I’m so sorry! 🙄 It honestly completely slipped my mind. It guess life just got in the way! LOL!
Anyways, you can grab a copy of this pattern for FREE right here on my website if you’d like to give it a try. 🙂 It looks difficult, but it’s not. It’s a combination of knit and purl stitches in a 18 row repeat. The finished size is approximately 30″ x 35″.

Happy knitting.

Hey there everyone!
I have a new pattern out and it’s my first cardigan pattern.
The Cool Morning Cardigan is a heavier weight cardigan that is truly a cross between a cardigan and a light coat. It’s sure to become your favourite go to piece on those cool, chilly mornings. 😉
The Cool Morning Cardigan is made by holding 2 strands of yarn together creating a thicker knit. It has a full sleeve and falls mid calf. It features slits on the sides and a ribbed cuff.
It is 2 identical pieces that are sewn together so it’s a great pattern for a beginner knitter.
The pattern is written in one size, but notes are included should you wish to modify the size.
It’s available in both my Etsy shop and on lovecrafts.com so head on over and grab yourself a copy.
Happy knitting!
Diana
This gorgeous yarn is soon to become a Hillside Baby Blanket for a little guy due in July.
It’s been a while since I knit a Hillside Baby Blanket and I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to use Stylecraft Special Chunky in White.
The pattern is available for FREE here on my website. Just click here!
And I always love to see your finished projects, so if you’ve downloaded any of my patterns, please feel free to share a photo. You can send it to diana.poirier@yahoo.ca.
Happy knitting!
Diana
