Sweater season brings cozy knits, holiday parties and, of course, ugly Christmas sweater contests. Knitting vocabulary is perfect for puns: "knit" sounds like "neat" and "nit," "purl" sounds like "pearl," "yarn" means both wool and a long story, and "sweater" sits right next to "sweeter" and "better."
