Oh that takes me back a few years.... I used to do a lot of knitting, but as in Italy, wool is quite expensive to buy, and I found it much cheaper to buy the finished article.
I made pullovers, scarves, mittens hats and jackets at one time.
It's such a great feeling of satisfaction when the item is finished...and you can say "I made that myself". 😀
It's true, it's really a great feeling of satisfaction! Fortunately, If I don't need to have specific colors, in the market I can find some big skeins of wool less expensive than in the shops, but it's really "random" ;)
