As usual, we probably went too high-concept with our Christmas party costumes. The theme was “Celebrity Safari,” and we appear to be the only ones who went for the Bojack-style celeb-animal puns. https://t.co/4bGtSN6J52

My FAVOURITE costume of the night was THIS GUY, and every time he walked past me I yelled out “HEY SETH ROGEN!” and he totally hated me. https://t.co/v2Zp6CjKFG

👏 Even harder than it looks. That ABC logo is in intarsia, meaning this jumper is knit flat and sewn up. Thus the fairisle bit with the snowflakes has added difficulty due to stranding on the purl side. 💯 #knittingnerd @bengubana https://t.co/9dffvxOjBI

@bengubana Hm. Although she could’ve knit the bottom in the round, I suppose, as long as the logo is all above the split for the arm holes… (Reverse engineering is fun!)
