A Hillside Baby Blanket…

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!

Now that Christmas is over…

Hello everyone!

Now that the Christmas knitting rush is over, I finally have time to finish up some projects I started last summer.

I was on a HUGE blanket knitting kick when I first learned how to knit and I still have 2 left to finish. So, I thought I would finish the one that is most complete.

I’m using a very chunky yarn, big needles and an easy pattern so I should finish it quickly.

Click here for the blanket pattern I used.  I have made 5 other blankets with this pattern because it’s just so easy.

Below is one of my completed blankets using this pattern.

For this yellow and grey blanket, I pretty much followed the pattern only modifying how many colours I used.

For the blanket I’m now finishing up, I switched out the 2 worsted weight yarns for the 1 super chunky weight yarn and size 15 needles.

Well off to finish up my blanket.  It’s suppose to get really cold next week and I want to be ready!

Happy knitting!
