The Coffee Shop Cardigan…

Diana Poirier

Meet the Coffee Shop Cardigan ☕💙

She’s officially finished and looking for her new home.

Designed with an effortless, relaxed silhouette, the Coffee Shop Cardigan is lightweight enough for layering while still giving you that cozy, wrapped-up feeling.

The kind of cardigan you’ll reach for with your morning coffee, weekend errands, or a quiet evening curled up with a good book.

The oversized fit is intentionally versatile, making it flattering on a variety of body types – perfectly slouchy on a women’s medium and a little more tailored on a women’s extra large.

For reference, I’m 5’4″ and wear a women’s large.

I still need to take some photos and add her to the website, but if you’ve had your eye on her, send me a message! I’m currently shipping anywhere in Ontario for a flat rate.

Have a great Sunday!

My Cardigan Prototype…

Diana Poirier

I’m excited to share with you my almost complete cardigan prototype that I’ll be offering for sale – “The Coffee Shop Cardigan”.

Of the people who answered my poll, the majority asked for a neutral, solid colour, lightweight oversized cardigan and I listened.

I will be making these also in even more neutral colours like Mink, Slate and Driftwood. This one is Caribbean Blue and I have started one in Juniper.

Eventually they will be offered in bulky weight too.

Well, off to get this cardigan done. I’m so looking forward to this next chapter of my knitting story!

A New Direction…

Diana Poirier

Hello there!

I just wanted to let everyone know that, after giving it a lot of thought and for a variety of personal reasons, I’ve decided that I will no longer be writing knitting patterns.

This wasn’t a decision I made lightly, as creating patterns has been such a meaningful part of my knitting journey. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported my work over the years by purchasing my patterns, sharing your finished projects, offering encouragement, and being part of this wonderful community. Your support has meant more to me than I can express.

Although I won’t be designing any new patterns, my Etsy shop will remain open, and all of the patterns I’ve already published will continue to be available for purchase whenever you’d like them.

Knitting itself isn’t going anywhere. It continues to bring me so much joy, peace, and comfort, and I look forward to spending more time simply creating for the love of it. From time to time, I’ll also be offering some of my finished knitted pieces for sale, and those will be available here through my website on the “Shop Knitwear” page.

Thank you again for being part of this chapter with me. I truly appreciate each and every one of you, and I hope you’ll continue to follow along as I share my knitting journey in this new way.

Sweater redo…

Diana Poirier

I didn’t like the project I was making with this yarn, so I made something else. 😁

I knit a new sweater right from the old one! Why waste time unraveling the yarn and making a new ball! 🧶

And I finished it in a weekend.

It was a super quick knit because of the bulky yarn and big needles I used.

And it’s nice and warm on these cold days we’ve been having. 🥶

I hope everyone has a great day and is staying super cozy! It’s still cold and snowy here!

A long vest…

Diana Poirier

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! 😘
