DIY Knitted Jumper

I just finished my second knitting project a roll-neck chunky jumper from Wool and The Gang called Burn Baby Burn. I used their 100% wool yarn in the new Beige Blonde shade, and I’m absolutely in love with how it turned out.

This is actually my third make using Crazy Sexy Wool. My first was a beanie hat, then a cable cardigan, and now this jumper. And let me tell you, this is only the beginning of what’s to come.

Let’s talk about the yarn. I love that it’s made from 100% wool, which makes everything you knit incredibly warm and cozy. The yarn is very chunky, and if you’re new to knitting (like me), this is the perfect choice. It’s soft, easy to work with, and gives such a satisfying result even if you’re still learning.

I’d be lying if I said this project was a piece of cake. I’m still very much a beginner when it comes to knitting, and I make a lot of mistakes. The most frustrating one happened after I finished the jumper and moved on to knit the neck only three-quarters of the way through did I realize I should have done it in reverse. I know! So obvious, which made it even more frustrating.

But the thing I love about knitting is that you can undo every single mistake and start over. It teaches patience, and somehow it’s part of the charm. 🙂

To anyone out there thinking, “I can’t do it,”
If I can, so can you!
