    THIS NEON SORBET 😍😍

    This was my first cardigang kit! Absolutely loved it, I’ve knitted scarves before but never an actual cardi! (I didn’t even have to call my mum for help!) Instructions were super easy, and the YouTube videos were helpful too. For someone who always wears black, grey and white - I LOVE the colour and I always get compliments when I wear it!!

    Love it!!

    I love this kit and it’s gotten me hooked on knitting! Easy to do despite being a total new beginner. The only thing was that some parts of the wool was poor quality - thick chunks or too thin that it would rip off!

    So satisfying!

    Very new knitter so I’m very happy with the final product which I gave to my 91 year old mum in aged care - she’s getting lots of compliments!

    Super easy and comfy!

    I'd only ever knitted scarves before and hadn't done any knitting in years, so had forgotten everything. The kit and instructions and videos made it super easy. Was both fun and relaxing. It's very comfortable and warm. The hardest part was definitely choosing the colours!

    Fun to make, more fun to wear

    I really enjoyed knitting this cardigan! The written instructions along with the videos made the process easy to follow. Yeah I messed up a few times, but I was able to fix it. Switching colors for the first time felt so exciting and finishing each piece, seeing it come together was awesome. I’ve only ever knit a scarf before, using the knit stitch the whole way. I couldn’t believe I could go from that to this!

    And then putting it on for the first time, I fell in love!! So excited about the colors I chose. It’s chunky, it’s cute, it’s fun. And it’s gonna be so warm for the Chicago winter. I cannot wait to start my next knitting project!

    This was really fun to knit! Was my second knit kit that I’ve completed and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Yes, you’ll see that the needles or hook needed for that kit comes pre-selected as part of the kit inclusions.
