Meet the geeky couple behind this ‘talking’ ugly Christmas sweater #WearableWednesday
Over the top Christmas sweater lets Rudolph and Santa chat! Fun story from GeekWire:
When Paul and Cathy Dietz learned they could score free tickets to the GeekWire Gala earlier this month by winning GeekWire’s ugly sweater contest, the engineers got to work. In just two days, Cathy Dietz designed and knitted an entire Christmas sweater dress from scratch while her husband created the parts to animate it.
The result was perhaps the geekiest ugly Christmas sweater ever. It features two talking characters: Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
