Kitted this Christmas. Chunky wool on size 10 needles, made up the pattern myself and it only took me a week ^^ It’s big and baggy and red and I love it.

I would recommend using a pattern to others who want to do this, unless you want to go for the ‘oversized hobo’ look like I did :) Knitty (http://knitty.com/archive.html) has some very pretty free patterns online. A pattern helps when coming to do things like the neck and sewing it up too – my mum helped me figure those out.
