Is there such as thing as a “beautiful Christmas sweater?” Doubtful. Even Target makes no claims for their attractiveness. In compiling the following, it should be noted that many are in fact Christmas SWEATSHIRTS, which is cheating. To truly be an ugly Christmas SWEATER some knitting activity is required. But, as you can see, putting a Santa hat on beloved pop culture figures results in a sufficient level of horror.
…and here’s some general ugliness.
Have you ever worn a Christmas sweater? Were you embarrassed or empowered?
For those of us who don’t celebrate Christmas, I must recommend geltfiend.com and their hilarious Hanukkah sweaters.
The Desolation of Sweaters
I have to admit I am guilty of designing a few ugly pop culture sweater shirts…

I saw this t-shirt at Kohl’s:

If it had been a sweatshirt, I would have purchased it.
A stop at Goodwill did not find anything obnoxious… I suspect they sell quickly.
If you plan to make your own, I suggest using a Cosby Show sweater as the base. (Yes, someone has a list of every episode… “Cosby Sweater Project”)
Kate–those designs kick ass!
Thanks. :-)
