With chillier weather upon us, I find myself wanting new knitwear, but it tends to be bulky, I have a lot of the same already, and my closet is overflowing. So, I vow not to buy anymore this year, but I know I am going to give in to the fluffiness and comfiness of the material. I really like the silhouettes of knitted fabrics and I am also attracted to the high-quality, cozy fits. So much so, that this year, I found a knitted bag! (Apart from its actual practicality, it’s cute.) Well, I think it’s quite obvious, I will be buying a lot of new knitwear this year.

Since we’re on the subject of knitted tops, I was wondering what is the correct word I should use.  For example, in the States they are called  “sweaters” or “pullovers,” and in the U.K., they call them “jumpers.” In Japanese, however, it felt right to call them “knitwear,” as that is what they are called.
