Dish towel set…

Diana Poirier

Hi there!

I’m finished the second dish towel in my set.

I used the same colours as in my first towel, but reversed them.

I didn’t have enough of the dark brown cotton yarn left to make a full third stripe, so I just knit 2 rows instead of the eight that the pattern calls for.  I still really like how it turned out.

For these towels, I used Rico Creative Cotton yarn available over at loveknitting.com. It’s easy to work with and washes up beautifully!

Off to make more dish towels, but this time for the girls at work!

Happy knitting!

So my order of yarn finally arrived the other day from loveknitting.com and I was able to finish my dish towel I was making!

waiting on yarn…

So, while waiting on a delivery of yarn from loveknitting.com in order to complete my dish towel, I decided I would make a pair of fingerless gloves.  A super quick project especially since I knit 2 at a time!

The gloves are made from a lightweight DK yarn and are a great weight to use during these chilly Spring mornings!

a dish towel or 2…

Diana Poirier

Hi everyone!

Yes, I’m still working on the second cushion for my co-worker’s wedding present, BUT yesterday I received my order from loveknitting.com and just had to  start the project I purchased the yarn for! LOL!

I’ve never knit with cotton before but wanted to give it a try and make some new dish towels for my kitchen. So far, I really like working with the cotton.

Here’s a sneak peek of my soon to be dish towel.

I’m using “Rico Creative Cotton Aran”.

Well, off to finish the dish towel and the cushion.

I’ll post pictures of both when I’m done.

Happy knitting!

I’m finished…

Hey there!

I finished my mock cable cushion cover!

It ended up a bit shorter than my other cushion covers I knitted, but once the cushion was put in and I sewed it up, it looked just fine.

I used 2 balls (320 yards each) of DK yarn.  I double knit using 2 strands of yarn at one time and used US size 9 single pointed needles. I casted on 62 stitches and followed the mock cable pattern until I came pretty much to the end of my yarn.

The yarn that I used (and use for just about every project I make!) is Stylecraft Special DK and I purchase it on line at loveknitting.com.

The mock cable pattern was written out in an earlier post.  You can click here to find it!

I was going to start my second matching cushion cover today, but I just found out one of my co-workers is getting married at the end of April and I want to make her a little something.  I will share it once it’s finished!

Happy knitting!

They’re done…

Diana Poirier

Hi everyone!

I’m done the 2 other pairs of slippers I was a making for a couple of girlfriends.  I delivered them today so I can share some photos without ruining the surprise!

DSCN2672

The slippers above were double knit using teal and lemon yellow yarn and for the slippers below I used dark purple and lemon yellow.  The yarn I used is Stylecraft Special DK and I purchase it on-line at loveknitting.com. They have such a large selection and the yarn is excellent quality.

These slippers are super easy and fast to make.

You can find the pattern here!

Now I’m off to finish an infinity scarf I was asked to make and maybe take a nap! Everyone here at my house has a cold and no one slept well last night! Well, maybe the puppy did!! LOL!!

Happy knitting!
