Can you see why? It's not the panda-inspired contrast body and sleeves, nor the lavish mix of intarsia, embroidery, appliqué, metallic thread, and beading, nor even the real jingle bell on the toy train engine.
It's not the shoulder pads that would make Nolan Miller weep for joy, nor the chenille tree.
No, no, no – it's the genius and glory of this design: the train wraps around the hips from front to back, placing the caboose on, yes, the caboose. Sometimes it's no wonder rampaging space aliens always make certain to obliterate New Jersey.
What say you? Wear it to MY SnB Knit n' Knog or no?

hell, yeah, wear it! atleast it'll provide some comedic relief, lol.
Seriously? I think I might want to spend next year knitting a hideous disgusting holiday sweater for the heck of it. The Caboose Caboose Sweater is quite inspirational! Wear it!!
(And are you geared up for the High French Toast Alert tomorrow?)
My eyes! They're burning, Burning!!!!!!!!!
Of course you should wear it.
A Christmas knitting event is really the ONLY event to which you should ever wear it. Why keep all those tacky design elements to yourself?
I thought you looked very festive and *BRIGHT* last night - it was the perfect sweater to wear for the occasion ;o)
OMG! It IS really cute, I can't help myself from liking it! Definitely wear it (oh...I see, you did wear it, good for you!)
P.S. The shoulder pads definitely come out though! ugh.
Are you kidding? It's the only time of year you can wear tacky and gaudy? Seriously, if you don't wear it, it would be a shame!
Okay so I'm scrolling through my RSS reader, getting caught up on blogs (okay SKIMMING. Ya caught me) and I'm suddenly FREAKING BLINDED by a chenille xmess tree.
Seriously, ya gotta warn people. ;op
not only yes but HELL YES!!!!
holiday sweaters are classic!!!
my mother in law has a different one for everyday of the month. at least it seems like that. :)
I am so glad you wore that hideous sweater to KnitnKnog! Sweaters like yours really make the holdiay season festering. Ooops, I mean festive. I didn't notice that the caboose was on your caboose. No wonder you remained seated most of the night!
That is the best Christmas sweater I have ever seen - did you wear it with leggings?
actually the SnB event would indeed be the best place to wear it. at least other knitters would appreciate it. It's a sweet little thing, even if you would perhaps not feel comfy wearing it. Use it for your knitting events - at least you can say you've made good use of it and let others enjoy the lovely handiwork that went into it!
