Surely I am not the only one here whose first thought was the hope that Scott and Leslie Hall might start a large, magnificent family together with many, many magnificent children.

Is this a sex thing.

If this was summertime, I'd probably die from hyperthermia from just looking at the sweaterdress pics.

I grew up having to rake the shag carpeting. I do not want to have to brush my sweater. Crumbs alone would be a nightmare. Besides, there is no way these things don't look awful in six months.

Also, the dress reminded me of this guy.

There's something wrong with your sentence but I can't decide if it's incorrect word order or a missing question mark.

So back in the day I used to run a very early build-your-own-website service and there was this customer of ours who set up a site selling these strange knitted things not entirely unlike these. Mostly ordinary knitwear but with odd features like collars that could extend above your head or whatever, and similarly hirsute. I'm pretty sure she was just some innocent artist type but one day she suddenly started getting a huge amount of unexpected traffic to her site and more orders than she could possibly handle. A little investigation into the source of the traffic made it pretty clear that rule 34 was in play. All credit to her, she went with it and carried on and did well AFAIK. Maybe this is even something to do with her, looking at some of the pieces.

So, in summary, I think incorrect word order. Or the answer is yes.

It's always a sex thing for somebody.

It's very hard to say, but I feel like the "Hood" item moves the category distinctly towards "it's a sex thing".

I would wear the shit out of "Pink Unisex", mind.

They are located in Florida, which seems strange. No one needs sweaters like that in Florida, ever. But, you know, as Scott himself says on his contact page, "Never deal with an Internet company that doesn't clearly state who they are and where they're located!"

Foci for Analysis, thanks for these links.

This reminds me of this, and in a nice way. As much as I like these sweaters, if I wore one I would probably look like this.

Oh, god. So many fibers in my mouth. Get me out of here before I have to start combing my tongue.

I love this: wedding sweaters. Who wouldn't want to get married in a Kate Middleton inspired angora hand-knitted no-button v-neck three-quarter sleeve, cropped/ bridal bolero?

How can you all be so cavalier? This man has Muppet blood on his hands!

Those are nightmare fuel for me. Just imagining the ticklish, frondy flagella things all over me gives me the creeps.

I do work with a guy, though, who is hairy enough that he looks like these sweaters with his shirt off, no knitting required.

The question mark was deemed unnecessary because it wasn't really a question.

OMG the bridal link:
I have a very talented knitter who specializes in creating the lovely wedding shrugs and shawls. She uses 100% angora yarn from three sources, seen in the pictures below. The last photo shows the angora she spins herself after being brushed from her own bunnies.

The site is coming from inside the rabbit!

For your cloaca costume.

Why would anyone want to resemble a blue Bigfoot? These put me in mind of a truly horrid pink sweater I had in 8th grade, it had long fur and looked like an old rug, or like the Easter Bunny had died and been made into a sweater. It was one of those things popular for 15 minutes in the early 60s, then mercifully faded away into oblivion, where it should stay!

Ok, see, this…this is what I come to MetaFilter for.

Highest and best use of the internet.

I was really hoping that Scott made all the sweaters himself.
