Lidl wool cardigan for £16

I went to Lidl just for a nosey round on the 28th December and spotted this wool for sale, at £3.99 for 4 balls and only (ONLY!!) 16 balls needed to make the cardigan on the front of the packaging I thought I would treat myself with some Christmas money I had received. 

I get put off usually buying wool to make myself clothes as it usually works out more expensive than buying a ready knitted item, but thought I would give this a go.

On looking at the pattern it is really simple knit a square split it in to 3 at the sleeves knit each section to a certain length then rejoin all three sections and knit across to form the top.Then knit really simple sleeves.

It has knitted up really quickly though I have reduced the length as I am not very tall and thought it would swamp me! It is lovely and thick wool and can imagine snuggling up in it on a cold day.
