Hello there!
So, I’ve finished the pattern for my messy bun hat. I call it the “Honey” hat!
I have the pattern up for sale over at Craftsy.com , at loveknitting.com and in my Etsy store.
I used “Caron Simply Soft” yarn for this hat so it’s super cozy!
Thank you for all the interest in the hat and I would love to see your finished piece if you make one.
Be sure to share a photo of it on my Facebook page!
Happy knitting!

Hello everyone!
I have started on messy bun hat #2! 😀
I’ve had a lot of interest in the hat through Facebook and Pinterest, so I thought I would write the pattern for it too!
It’s such a super quick hat to make. Perfect for a weekend project.
So stay tuned for the pattern. I’m hoping to have it done by early next week and will have it for sale on loveknitting.com, in my Etsy shop and on Craftsy.com.
Stay warm today!

My yarn has arrived from PaintBox Yarn. Yay! 😀
I chose to work with their DK yarn for the pattern I’m creating for them. It’s SO soft and so easy to work with.
Here’s a little sneak peek.

Hello everyone.
I wanted to share with you one of the blankets I made for a Christmas gift.
I’m just thrilled with how it turned out and you can be sure I’ll be making one for myself! 😀
As most knitters know, when you use the stockinette stitch without some sort of border, your edges will curl. So when I was designing this blanket, I purposely didn’t add a border so the curled edges would create a soft, ripply edge on the blanket.
So if you want to make one too, here’s what you’ll need to know!
I used 5 balls of Caron Simply Soft yarn in Autumn Red and US size 8 circular needles (36″),
Cast on 200 stitches.
Row 1 – 20: Knit 20, Purl 20 across the row
Row 21 – 40: Purl 20, Knit 20 across the row
Repeat above pattern until you have come to the end of the 5 balls
Cast off on row 40.
The finished size is 43″w X 55″ l.
Well off to try and get my second blanket done in time for Christmas. Wish me luck! LOL!
Happy knitting!
Hello everyone.
So I finished my first pair of “slocks”! LOL!
Here they are:
I’m going to play around a bit and try to make them a bit more colourful; maybe add a different coloured trim and toe or perhaps make stripes. I’m also going to knit 2 at one time so they will end up being the exact same length.
It’s a super easy pattern. Click here to see it.
Well, off to finish my Christmas presents. Hopefully I won’t get distracted anymore! 😉
Happy knitting!
Hi everyone.

“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!
So! It’s finally starting to get chilly out there!
How about knitting an infinity scarf to keep you warm? Click here for the FREE pattern!
This scarf is really warm since it’s knit with 2 strands of yarn at one time.
It’s a great weekend project, so what are you waiting for?

Good afternoon everyone!
It’s a HOT one here today so a great day to stay indoors in the air conditioning and knit!!
I’ve started knitting these lovely gloves – I call them the “Princess Kelly” gloves, and will be writing the pattern for them too. I adore the frilly cuff on them!
I’m creating them using an ultra soft nylon and acrylic blend DK yarn from Cascade I purchased from loveknitting.com.
They’re going to be fingerless gloves, so perfect for the chilly days ahead. I know it doesn’t seem like the chilly days will ever return with all the hot weather we’ve been having, but I have faith it’s coming soon! LOL!!
Stay tuned. I hope to have the pattern complete soon!
Happy knitting!
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.
