Baby blanket #6…

Hey everyone!

So I’ve completed baby blanket number 6!

I’ve decided to give the baby blanket making a bit of a break (it will be hard as I LOVE making baby blankets), but I’ve been making SO many of them lately!

This one was made with the super soft Red Heart Soft Essentials yarn – 2 balls of each colour. It’s one of my absolute favourite yarns for baby blanket making.

I saw this pattern on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. Adding a border would have been better as the edges really curled because it’s mostly a stockinette stitch. I should have known this would happen but wasn’t thinking ahead I guess. I’m going to leave it as it is though because it gives the blanket  some character. 😉

So, off to start a new project! LOL!

I think I’ll make some cushion covers. I haven’t done that in a while!

Happy knitting.

1 of 2 patterns done…

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.

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!

now down to 3…

I’m happy to say I’ve completed ANOTHER of my projects!

The cute little beanie and bunting bag I was commissioned to make is now done!

I’ve written a pattern for it so you can make one too! It’s super easy since it’s knit on straight needles and uses only knit and purl stitches.  PERFECT for the beginner knitters!!

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!

The classic baby blanket…

Good morning!

I’ve completed the baby blanket for my co-worker and the pattern I wrote to go with it.

It’s a super easy pattern that would work with just about any colour combination – navy blue and light blue, fuchsia and light pink, egg plant and lavender – the possibilities are endless!  The trendy colour combination for baby rooms these days is yellow and grey!

I chose to use yellows (Citron and Lemon) for this blanket as my co-worker and his wife do not know what the gender of the baby is.
