PATTERN RELEASE – The Casual Friday Sweater

October 26, 2025October 26, 2025Diana Poirier

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…

October 10, 2025October 13, 2025Diana Poirier

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!

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!

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!

A new pattern in the works…

March 15, 2025Diana Poirier

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!

Garnet Red…

February 12, 2025Diana Poirier

I’m done my Brunch Anyone? sweater in Garnet red! Just in time for Valentine’s Day! ❤️

I’m choosing to wear this one without the seams exposed for a more polished look, but I could always turn it inside out exposing the seams for a casual, weekend feel.

This boxy sweater is knit using DK yarn and has 3/4 lengths sleeves and a boat neckline. The pattern is very beginner friendly and comes with instructions on how to modify the size.

Grab a copy today in my Etsy shop. It’s a quick knit and you could finish it in a few days! 🙂

Happy knitting!

The Ripple Effect sweater…

February 7, 2025Diana Poirier

I took some photos today of my Ripple Effect Sweater.

I’ve updated the pattern a bit so I wanted to take photos of the new one I made that reflects a better fit.

The updated version is now available in my Etsy shop and over at lovecrafts.com.

It’s a great sweater to transition you from Winter to Spring. 🦋

Happy knitting!

PATTERN RELEASE – Brunch Anyone?

December 13, 2022May 22, 2024Diana Poirier

Finally the Bruch Anyone? sweater pattern has been released!

The Brunch Anyone? sweater is a very boxy, loose fitting sweater that flatters many different shapes.

It’s a cropped sweater that features 3/4 length sleeves and a boat neckline.

Knit with US size 9 circular needles (to hold the stitches only as the piece is knit flat) using approximately 1000 yards of acrylic DK weight yarn (also known as #3 or light weight). I used Stylecraft Special DK in Khaki.

Available in my Etsy shop and over at loveknitting.com.

This pattern is beginner friendly, but if you need help, I’m always here to answer any questions you may have!

HAPPY KNITTING!
