New pattern idea…

Diana Poirier

I’ve been missing in action a bit, I know, but March has been a trying month for myself and my family.

But I’m happy to say things seem to be back on track a bit.

This is a sweater idea I started a while ago, but I’m not convinced yet that it will work out the way I want. It’s only pinned together right now. 🙄

I’m hoping it does though once I get around to sewing it.

I don’t wear many sleeveless tops because I’m self conscious of my arms, but I think the cowl neck takes away the focus from the arms a bit.

I’m working on getting my Wayward Vest pattern out soon, so stay tuned for that.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! 😊

Another sweater done…

Diana Poirier

I got my sweater sewn up! 😁 I’ve decided to call it “The Casual Friday Sweater”.



This is the fourth piece I want to write a pattern for, so I better get at it.

I promised most patterns would be available in August, and it’s now August!

I’ve just been feeling very creative lately and like to take advantage of that when I can.

It’s Friday today, so I’m wishing everyone an amazing weekend ahead!

A purple? sweater…

Diana Poirier

I don’t usually wear purple, but I’ve wanted to start incorporating more colour into my wardrobe.

I’m trying to show you the one side of the sweater I’ve finished, but it’s very difficult when I’m holding my phone in my other hand. 😅

I really hope it turns out the way I think it will, 🤞 but who knows. I’ve undone entire sweaters before after sewing them together and trying them on. 🙄

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

The Ripple Effect sweater…

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!

River Rocks Swoncho…

Diana Poirier

My “River Rocks Swoncho” is done!

It’s the ultimate big, cozy sweater that’s perfect paired with your favourite leggings. Or wear it as a poncho!

It’s knit in 2 pieces using 2 strands of yarn held at one time and seamed together so perfect for the beginner knitter.

I still have to finish writing out the pattern and take pictures so the pattern should be ready to release by mid January.

Stay tuned! 😁

Toddler sweaters…

Diana Poirier

These toddler sweaters are all tagged and ready to be delivered! I made them for a friend’s twin grandsons.

I started them over 6 months ago and used measurements she gave me then, so I hope they will fit! 🤞

They were so fun and easy to knit. I saw a picture of a similar sweater and just created these based on that image. And using 2 strands of DK yarn held together makes them extra squishy and warm.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy knitting!

PATTERN RELEASE – Brunch Anyone?

Diana 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!
