Christmas Party – Ugly Sweater Holiday Party

It’s that time of year again! Dig out the decorations and pull on your cozy clothes. The holiday season is upon us.

While everyone is putting up their trees, wreaths, and lights, we can’t forget about the sillier traditions. We’re talking about Ugly Sweaters. Ugly sweaters have come a long way. It started off with just wearing winter sweaters that just happened to be less than visually appealing. Now, you can purchase ugly sweaters that light up or make noise. You can even DIY your very own festive sweater to stand out in the crowd.

If you’re looking to host an Ugly Sweater Party this holiday season, we’ve got you covered.

We’ll take the guesswork out of planning the perfect celebration. Just refer to our Ugly Sweater Holiday Party Ideas to get inspired. From the invites to the party favors, we’ll help you put together the perfect holiday party. And if you’re in need of an ugly sweater, Wholesale Halloween Costumes has got you covered. Check out their inventory of all the holiday wearables that will be a hit at any ugly sweater party.

If you’ve been around here long, you know that I’m in a perpetual battle with my stash. I feel like I haven’t bought yarn in years unless I needed it for a specific project. I knit fairly a lot, and crochet some, too, but it feels like my stash never gets any smaller.

It’s not just the unused balls of yarn that are a problem. In fact, maybe a bigger issue is all the odd balls and leftover bits that seem to pile up without any effort. Even though I love scrappy projects (and knit a whole sweater dress with scraps earlier this year) it still feels like a never-ending quest to use up all the little bits.

So I’m always on the lookout for good patterns that are made to use of the extra bits of yarn. If they are super easy, too, that’s so much the better.

So it is with the Lalu Scarf by Sheena Stone. This any yarn, any gauge pattern is designed to use up whatever scraps you have on hand (assuming they’re mostly the same weight or can be held double to make the same weight).

It’s a tube scarf worked in the round, and she specifically notes that she works it outside in, so the back of the scarf is on the outside as you knit. The needle tips are on the part of the circle farthest away from you as you knit.

It also has an attached I-cord edging, which sounds really time consuming but does give the edges a nice, finished look.

The way the colors are changed as you knit you don’t really need a lot of each color. It would probably be good if you had at least enough of a color to complete one round, but you can change colors more often than every round if you need to because you’re using all your tiny bits.
