Culture Buzz And yet look undeniably cute in them. Check out all the crazy things that people have knitted sweaters for.
It has the dual benefit of keeping you cosy while looking crazy enough to keep anyone from disturbing you.
Style Buzz Let's play Sweaters!™ Here's how this works. Are you wearing a sweater today? Is it nice? Good. You're halfway there. Take a picture of yourself in your nice sweater and add it as an image response to this post. Whichever sweater gets the most hearts in the responses is the winner! But the real point of this exercise is to give us Sweater-enthusiasts an excuse to compare notes.

Nedroid and his friend Emmy found that after drawing Bill Cosby separately, their Cosbies were nearly identical! So they set out to explore the “collective consciousness of Cosby” by getting 190 people to draw the Cosby. They expected sweaters and pudding pop references, but discovered that not all associated Bill with those two stereotypes — only 8 of 190 drawings had both the Cosby sweater and the Jell-O pudding pop.
Culture Buzz Laughing Squid has introduced us to the Internet's newest favorite sexual fetish: the wool sweater. These talented knitters have created entire outfits made from wool that cover their entire body — which apparently, according to a French message board, is a sexual fetish. I don't know, maybe these people just want to be warm & cozy 24/7?
