Ugly Sweater Design Contest
 

What better captures the festive spirit than one of these questionable holiday sweaters? You know, the kind you got from your aunt because she thought the marihuana leaves surrounding Rudolph the red nosed reindeer were mistletoe. Or the kind your older brother dares you to wear to your office party, since nothing says "I'm a respectable adult" better than a gingerbread kitten dressed like a snowman and munching on a candy cane.

You either have one in your drawer, or have been wanting one your whole life.

Show us your perfect ugly sweater!

You can use the template above, or also draw your own. Submitting a design earns you 30 icicles.

Vote for your favorites!
At the end of the event the most popular designs win additional prizes.

1st place - 300 icicles, a set of festive sweaters and Winter's Missionary
..........Wander around and spread the love of questionable holiday apparel!
2nd place - 250 icicles, a set of festive sweaters and Snow Bunny
..........Add a little angora fluff to your hand knitted garments!
3rd place - 200 icicles, a set of festive sweaters and Frost Dancer Cape
..........Become the superhero in the ugly sweater!

You may design more than one sweater, but you can only win once. If two or three of your designs are among the most popular, just the one with the most votes counts for scoring.

If we find your design creative, your sweater might even end up a future site item. There's no such thing as too many questionable holiday sweaters after all! (Please note however this is most likely not going to happen during the current event. Our knitting spiders and holiday elves are still busy bringing you lots of other shiny things.)

Time to vote! Send me a PM stating your favorite designs. You can nominate up to three different sweaters - one each for first, second and third place. Please only vote with one account if you have multiple alts on Trisphee.

I'd like to submit my ugly Christmas sweater for all the holiday people out there who are sick of the holidays! ^-^

That is a magnificent holiday design. Grumpy cat would be proud of you!

Thank you! ^~^ *blows bubble* this is my first attempt at making an art on this site hehe.

If you secretly hoped this counts as three sweaters, I refer to the second line of Merskelly's artwork. But an interesting design twist for sure.

I'm actually submitting the most beautiful sweater and I wish I had one like this!!

Rainbows and unicorns. A good old classical combination!

And with this Pengore will let you live one more day. Keep up the good work, my brave little knitters.

nah, this was just as far as my creativity goes lol

I like that there was a nice bow added to the inception llama sweater. ^-^

Yes, it's all about the bow.

I used all my creativity making an actual ugly sweater. Can I just post a picture lol

Legit want Merskelly's sweater irl. Only with the colors flipped. So mostly green with red details.
XD
Would wear all winter.

...Honestly, I'd probably wear Merskelly's sweater IRL.

Thank you. You're too kind! x'D

It certainly captures the holiday spirit to a T.

I don't know how to draw, and I especially don't know how to draw with just a touchpad.

I may or may not have gone dumpster diving to find the yarn to make this sweater. Ferrel cats may or may not have also peed on said yarn to create the beautifully unique shades of red and green.

Anyway, here's the sweater featuring a faux beer belly.

I see you went the extra mile to acquire this memorable look. Give the cats a treat from me. *grabs beer*

Hand Cramps be danged! Behold!

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Once.

Well once is all you need, isn't it? Boy, disposable holiday sweaters, what a concept.

that's the most beautiful sweater I've ever seen, Witchchylde
I'm aLMOST CRying and randomly hitting casps lock

I'm especially proud of the lit candles, personally.

They'll certainly keep you warm during the holidays.

Re-uploading my design for DbM! ^-^;

Thank you! *saves a backup this time*

I honestly would make one IRL like this if I had enough yarn and time: https://i.imgur.com/KMuf1FA.png

8D ahhhh! If that were a sweater I would wear the hell out of it! x]

Pick your favorites!

Which one is the absolute best sweater ever? Which a close second, and which do you still want to own? Nominate your personal first, second and third place in PM to me (Death by Mirrors). Which designer shall win the big prize?

Ooo, when will the winners be announced? :]

The event is still going on for at least one more day (or longer if you folks keep Pengore happy - chicken dance, anyone? *smirk*). Winners will be announced when it closes. Don't worry, the event shop is going to stay open for some more days after, so you can spend your icicles safely before they melt.

Meanwhile send me your votes if you haven't yet!

There are too many good ones! Derpy, come help decide! XD

I'd wear Den's design out in public. >w<

I would if it didn't have the skull.
I'm just not big on skulls.

Aww. :[ *blushes covering skully face with hair* .//-/.; That's too bad.

Lol. I just mean fashion-wise. I don't care for clothing with skulls on it. For me.
Specifically human skulls. Because I do have some fabric with full animal skeletons on it that I love and will hopefully eventually make an apron with.

:] Huh. Interesting. I guess there's a lot of clothing with human skulls on them that are associated with some bad groups and such. :/ Animal skulls just give me such a strong "magic" and "nature" sort of vibe. -w- <3 I guess human skulls either communicate intimidation, death and sadness more. :[ …*rolls eyeball in socket* But skulls are so badass anyway!~ <x]
