Good news: ugly Christmas sweaters are a go this year. If you were in doubt that I would be without knitting implements upon arrival into Heropa ... you would be correct, but I bought new ones. Better ones. Knitting needles with a bright future ahead of them.

There will be no baubles this year, sadly. Instead there will be an assortment of odd looking cats and perhaps a jolly Santa. People who will receive an ugly sweater regardless of showing interest: Kanaya, Karkat, probably Derek Hale. Actually, if I know you, you are likely getting one. :)

Anyway, if anyone else would like one please register interest here. If you would like to vehemently show how opposed you are to sweaters (I am looking at you, Doctor F. Chilton), also reply here. (Read: you will still get a sweater, maybe even two).

Reasons you might not get a sweater: the apocalypse (again), I break an arm (or two), death or other extreme circumstances. I'm not really planning for any of the above, so it looks like we are all in luck.

I will not receive two sweaters, especially not against my will. No.

Doctor Chilton, the only way to overcome this sweaterphobia is to face it. Embrace it.

Can I request a color, assuming I'm in the running of willing participants?

(Is the color obvious? It's probably obvious. It had better be obvious.)

[nitidus]

Yes! Yes to both accounts. Purple it is. I'll find a way to get a bow in there, somehow. It might take some practice.

How festive.

[selfimage]

If an apocalypse even dares to infringe upon this festive mortal tradition it will meet with a very unfortunate cancelation. :)

[nitidus]

Well, I'm glad to know someone is looking out for us all. Would you like a sweater?

[acclimatized]

Nice. I had an elderly aunt who made Christmas jumpers.

[nitidus]

They are the best part of Christmas. My mom used to buy ones with wizards on them.

[gluestick]

are ugly sweaters some kinda tradition for christmas?

[nitidus]

They are when you are Rose Lalonde.

what makes them ugly

and why do you want to give people ugly things ?

text

[nitidus]

Because I love ugly sweaters specifically.

As for the what - usually they are in colors that do not compliment each other with particularly abhorrent designs.

Is knitting really fast your superpower or something? It's only a month until Christmas.

PS may I have one please

text;

[nitidus]

No, I am just a very fast knitter. Also I started last month.

Yes, you may.

[sanguineseams]

Don't call them ugly, you might hurt their feelings.

[senketsu please]

video

[nitidus]

They're sweaters?

[she's gonna need a moment.]

VIDEO.

[huitzilin]

[ she's over here looking really really really excited. she almost presses her face to the camera. ]

Oh, oh oh oh! I know about this, I've seen it! All the sweaters are so cute and I bet you make super super cute ones!

VIDEO.

[nitidus]

Yes. Yes they are absolutely adorable. My girlfriend has one of mine from last year, I'm sure. I just can't seem to find it.

[redhairring]

[ okay yeah, low profile, but WHATEVER this is too gold to pass up. ]

I'll pay you to get a picture of Chilton in a sweater.

voice;

[nitidus]

How much?

[earnedmystripes]

I'd like two, if that's okay.

[....]

Do you take requests?

video;

[nitidus]

I do, in fact, take requests.

VOICE.

[osreborn]

Consider me interested, Rose. I've been looking for a gift for someone.

And make it green.

VOICE.

I didn't know that you wasted time on the festivities of the season. Color me surprised.

[ex_question191]

If you knit Derek a sweater I promise to get a picture of him wearing it. That's my Christmas promise to you.

[nitidus]

That warms my heart. You don't happen to know his exact measurements do you? I'd like him to own clothes that aren't too tight.

voice.

[altercate]

[ exCUSE ME ]

You don't have to knit me a sweater.

voice.

[nitidus]

Of course I have to knit you a sweater, Derek. I owe you for pointing out all those noodles in my hair.

[symbionic]

I know somebody who could use one, if you're not overwhelmed. I'll definitely pay you for it.

[Ironically this isn't for Peter, who might normally be the target of friendly mischief.

It's for Valeria.]

[nitidus]

You don't have to pay me for anything. Christmas is the season of giving and such like.

[shuckit]

[ this sounds like the least amount of fun, and he is pretty opposed to ugly christmas sweaters, but voicing that sounds like a terrible idea. he'll just have to try to hide in newt's room anytime she has the knitting tools out. besides, he doesn't really know rose too well, aside from camping out in her house, so maybe he's safe. ]

are the cats getting sweaters?

[nitidus]

Oh yes, absolutely! I was thinking of giving the entire house matching sweaters, including the cats.

[THINK AGAIN, BUDDY. ]

[glowsferatu]

should i be offering at least a token resistance

text.

[nitidus]

I would suggest learning from last years resistance. As the saying goes: resistance is futile.

No more flirting, Momo. ]
