I love the way you make me feel warm and snuggly, like I'm being wrapped up in a big hug.
I love how freaking comfortable you are to wear. Like, seriously. Wearing you is like wearing a soft, fluffy cloud.
I love how effortlessly put-together you make me look. I can throw you on with some jeans and have an outfit, just like that.
I just really love you, knitwear...

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Sunday Scribbles!
So yesterday, I did a wee bit of shopping (oops) and I may or may not have picked up a few clothing bits for Autumn and Winter. I had a very clear aim for the day: to replenish my knitwear supplies, because they had been seriously low, and because being a sixth former means you have to put a new outfit together every single day (not as fun as it sounds, people) and I was running out of things to wear. So, find and buy knitwear I did.
Beady eyed readers may have noticed that a couple of posts ago I talked about how much the Autumn/Winter Primark collection this year had impressed me. Well, it impressed me so much that I decided to buy all of my knitwear for this year from Primark, and I'm absolutely chuffed with what I got!
The loot:
How cute is this jumper? I fell in love with it in the shop, partly due to the gorgeous colour of it, and knew it had to be mine. I tried it on once I'd bought it and OH MY GAWD, it is soft. I absolutely did not want to take it off. I cannot wait till it's freezing cold outside and I get to pull out this bad boy to keep me warm and cozy. Ugh, Winter, hurry up!
I thought that this little dress was simply darling. I'd been on the hunt for a dress I could wear to more formal events in Winter, and I loved the nautical striped pattern on this one. The fact that the dress is knitted, so is suitable for the colder months, but is also super flattering and pretty, pleased me immensely. The price tag was also rather darling too, don't you agree?
You can't see from my rubbish picture (apologies for that, by the way; I'm still getting the hang of taking good quality pictures for this blog) but this jumper-dress hybrid is a beautiful red wine colour and goes down to my knees, with some cute pockets added for good measure. I just loved this colour and thought it was high time I experimented with some deeper, more Autumnal colours (you'll be able to tell from this haul and also from my fifty facts post that I have a thing for pastels - and tend to dress solely in those) and branched out of my comfort zone. This is also really, really comfortable and figure-flattering.
I had to throw a novelty jumper in there somewhere, didn't I? I just loved the little animals on this jumper (not entirely sure what animals they are: let me come back to you on that) and the grey colour of it. I also loved the fact that this jumper was quite loose and of a nice thickness for Winter. I can't wait to wear this when the weather turns!
This jumper was the cheapest of the lot, and coincidentally the most comfortable (although they're all pretty comfortable). I tried it on and just knew it was for me; it's so so soft! I also really love the colour of this (it doesn't show up great in the picture but it's a light rose sort of colour) and the shape - I deliberately got a size up so that it would be really loose and lovely to wear.
And that's all I got! I didn't think that the prices were too bad, really - if you think about how much I spent on five clothing items (£46), that amount would probably only get you one thing at Topshop or River Island. AND everything I bought was super pretty and warm and perfect for Winter.
Until next week's edition of Sunday Scribbles,
