Sunday knitting & a baby blanket…

Hello everyone!

Since starting a new job recently, I don’t have nearly as much time as I used to to knit. 😦 So it’s turning out that Sundays are my knitting days.

Today I’ve started a baby blanket.

My husband’s co-worker is expecting a baby in October and since I  LOVE knitting baby blankets,  I thought I would knit one for him and his wife.

They don’t know the gender of the baby, so I chose this beautiful green yarn by Caron as opposed to the standard gender neutral yellow.  I adore the vibrancy of this colour!

I got the idea for this blanket from one I saw on Pinterest.  I really liked it because the body of the blanket is knit on a diagonal.  If you would like to make one too, you can click here for the pattern.

Off to work on the blanket some more.  It’s a hot one today, so I’ll be staying indoors!

Happy knitting!

Hi everyone.

I had some time this weekend to complete 1 of the projects I was working on and got the pattern written yesterday!

The pattern is now available over at loveknitting.com, in my Etsy shop and on Craftsy.

“The Little Royal” Bunting Bag and Beanie is the perfect gift for a soon to be prince or princess in your life.  It’s a quick and easy project that knits up on US size 6 straight needles using DK weight yarn.

I don’t have to work today, so I’ll be knitting away trying to get my Christmas gifts done!!

Happy knitting!

An ode to Canada…

Hello everyone!

I’ve finally finished my next pattern and it’s now available to purchase on loveknitting.com, in my Etsy shop and on Craftsy.com.

It’s the “Hooded Hudson Bay Inspired Bunting Bag” for babies ages newborn to 3 months old.

I had a TON of fun creating this pattern and I really hope you love it as much as I do.  It’s knit in one piece and then seamed up one side with snaps on the other making it super easy to get a squiggly little baby in and out!

And if anyone is looking for a gift for a baby to be, this one’s for sale.  Just shoot me a message at diana.poirier@yahoo.ca.

Happy knitting!

I’ve been commissioned…

So, I’ve been commissioned for the very first time to make some baby gifts.  Cool eh?? 😀

A friend sent me some pictures of what she was looking for and asked me if I could make them.  I said “Sure. Why not? I think I can do this. I have no pattern, but I’ll give it a go.”

Here’s one of the little hats.  I’m almost done.  Just have to sew it up and put on the pom-pom.

Next I’m going to start on the bunting bag to go with it.

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! It’s raining here so a great day to stay inside and knit!

Cheers!
