Requests for a pattern…

Diana Poirier

So, I included pictures of my Ruana I made myself in my little selfie photo shoot I did on the weekend.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me if I was going to write up the pattern for it and I decided I would! 😀

Life has been pretty busy lately so I can’t say when it will be released so just stay tuned. I will post it here on my blog!

So off to organize all my knitting projects and prioritize them. I feel like I’m all over the place lately with all the WIP’s I have. Time to finish things up!!

Happy knitting!

I’m finally done…

Hey everyone!

I’m finally done my Ruana and I’m in love! ❤

It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.

The mornings are starting to get chilly so it will be perfect to just throw over anything and go. It will certainly keep me warm!

And our winters can be pretty mild, so I think I might be able to get a ton of use out of it.

I used about 2,400 yards of Stylecraft Special Aran in 6 different colours – about 12 balls in total – 2 of each colour.

Well, I just wanted to share this finished piece with you.

Now off to work on my other WIPs!

Have a great day everyone and happy knitting.

Ruana update…

Diana Poirier

Hi everyone!

I’ve started on the back of my Ruana so I was able to sort of try it on.

I think I’m in love! ❤

I’ve always just sold patterns but I’m thinking I might start selling finished products. Maybe just one item instead of trying to sell a ton of different things. I’m thinking the one thing I might want to sell are these Ruanas. 🤔

The turnaround time would be about 4 weeks for a custom order so I could only take about 1 order per month. I’m hoping to have a couple already made though if I launch a little shop.

I’m very undecided at this time but if anyone has any suggestions or experiences you would like to share, I would be happy to hear them.

For now, off to work more on this Ruana!

Happy knitting.
