Just what every girl wants - super thick yarn and
enormous tassles to give her that linebacker look.

My grandmother had a bathmat that kind of looked like that. Now why would they steal my grandma’s bathmat? That would so go over well down here in South Texas, in say, August, when the temps are over 100 and the humidity can melt steel.
This is an astounding bit of design. Shoplifters could run off with three roast beasts and all of Cindy Lou Who’s toys and no one would know. I’m a little scared.
What has me curious, of course, being a nicely rounded woman, is, how on earth could anyone beyond age 10 wear something that has stripes going, well, across the entire body in a yarn that would make a good rug or toque? (I currently live in the frigid ice world of Calgary, AB, CA, where we have 3′ of snow). I guess if I wanted to look like one of my childrens snow-women….
Y’know, my sister & I fought over ownership of a similar item…in the 70’s. Pink, mohair, but at least it had sleeves and was huge enough to serve as a ’slouchy tunic’. We were young, and dumb, what did we know? Oh! AND it was extremely flamable…this crap just looks “melty”…..like 70’s Red Heart……
OMG, I just grossed myself out.
Ravenne just got my point…I’m not quite as skinny as that model, so I guess THAT THING would make me look like the Michelin Man, you know, that FAT and GOOFY snowman (or …whatever it is!!)
you can tell by the picture angles that this actually makes the skinny model look like a blimp on steroids. see the funny angle + torso twist? she’s got “the angles” so people will know she has a body under all that nasty yarn from the front this probably looks… yeeeeehhhheeee!
it looks like she’s bracing herself under the weight of that sweater
why do people have to do such things to super bulky yarn! it’s not right
i hope they paid the model and i really hope that they reimbursed her for her chiropractor visits… it looks like she might have needed some medical help after wearing that thing.

She looks like she’s wrapped in a cocoon!

It appears she got her inspiration from her kid’s sock drawer. It looks like a fuzzy tube sock.

It *could* have been nice… Just too thick. What happens if she raises BOTH hands at the same time?

Oh. Dear. Lord. What is she wearing? The Jolly Green Giant’s French tickler?

Both hands at the same time…chuckle.
Nice thick sweater with no sleeves–where is the sense in that? But you see it all the time. Not on actual people, I mean, only in pictures.

Maryann’s comment is cracking me up.

Good to be appreciated.

Can you imagine what it would look like on someone who is not stick-thin???

I think she looks great, I don’t that this sweater is to thick trust me I’ve seen alot thicker.

If the waist weren’t so close fitting this “might” be doable.
