Back Porch Shawl…

I got my Back Porch Shawl done last night and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s been years since I made my last one.

For this one I used Caron Simply Soft in Charcoal Grey, Ocean Blue and Light Country Blue.

This is one of the very first patterns I ever wrote and remains my number one seller!

You can grab a copy in my Etsy shop!

Happy Sunday. 🙂

PATTERN RELEASE – The Casual Friday Sweater

The Casual Friday Sweater will quickly become one of your favourites – it’s one of those pieces you can reach for really any day of the week – not just Fridays!

For work, pair it with black slacks and flats for a polished, effortless look. And when evening rolls around, it transitions beautifully – just swap in a skirt and heels, and you’re ready for dinner out.

It’s cozy without being bulky, stylish without trying too hard, and will go with just about everything in your closet.

Head over to my Etsy shop or to Lovecrafts to grab your copy today!

Happy knitting.

A new Meet Me For Coffee sweater…

Coffee anyone?? ☕️  I got my “Meet Me For Coffee” sweater all sewn up and I’m loving it! Just in time for the cooler weather.


Knit in 1 piece using only the garter stitch, makes this pattern ideal for beginner knitter.

I like to wear mine with the seams exposed for a more casual look, but you have the option of also wearing it without the seams showing.

Great for casual dates with your person or, of course, coffee with friends!

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop and over at lovecrafts.

Why don’t you head over and grab yourself the pattern and start one this weekend? 😉

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to all my Canadian friends!

PATTERN RELEASE – The Vivie Sweater

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.

Oops…

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!

Photo shoot…

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!

No name yet…

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!

Diana

Her name is Vivie…

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!! 🏊‍♀️

Diana

It’s off the needles…

I’m done!!! 😁 Well, I still have to sew it together, but it’s off my needles!

I pinned it together so I could try it on, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I don’t have a name yet though. 🤔 Maybe I’ll come up with one this weekend!

It’s finally supposed to warm up, so I’m hoping to get in the pool for a swim!

Happy Sunday!

A new pattern in the works…

I pinned together this cocoon sweater to check the fit. I don’t think I have much left to knit! Yay! 👏

I’ll be writing a pattern for this one! The texture is just to die for!

It’s more of a Fall pattern, so I won’t be rushing to publish it, but I’ll certainly have it out by the end of the summer.

PATTERN: Autumn Harvest Cocoon Sweater (coming soon) 🍁🍂

Happy knitting!
