Yep but I think cable-nit and cardigan slightly ease it out, unless you have a Argyle Cardigan...

polar fleece.

none
I need to return the one mom got me for my b'day.

Generally hate. I like sweatshirts.

Does American Apparel make sweaters? Those would be my favorite!

None of them!

I prefer a screamer.
Badum-chee

Cotton.

Also a huge fan of these. I usually don't have the cash for full-on cashmere though, so I have to get a cotton/cashmere blend (usually about 2% cashmere ). More often then not though, I'll see a huge table of sweaters on sale at J.Crew or somewhere, and they'll all be v-necks. Not a fan of those so much.

Yeah, tempted to hit the thrift stores this weekend...

Ebay, second-hand/resale shops, and patience! I usually shop in the men's section because it's the most likely to have this classic cut of sweater available in multiple sizes and colours. Also: oversized!

2nd'd. Over the past couple years I've procured no less than 4 full cashmere sweaters, all good/decent brands, on ridiculous clearance at different stores (1 Macy's, 1 JCP, 2 online retailers). I don't think I payed more than $25 for any of them. Keep those eyes open and wandering and you'll find the deal you're looking for.

I think with modern climate controlled buildings and houses, sweaters are a bit of an anachronism. What is the point? If it is cold outside I am going to be wearing a jacket/coat to keep warm, and everywhere I have worked and 90% of houses I go to have the thermostat set between 68 and 74 degrees year round. That's only an 6 degree swing, and even on the cold end, that is hardly deserving of more than a long sleeve shirt.

It is a shame, because I like the look of a nice sweater, but they end up living up to their name when I wear them. If this was 1920 and most houses had drafty windows and unreliable heat sources, I could see the point. In 2012... not so much.

I DON'T WEAR SWEATERS AT ALL.

In 20+ years, I have never worked in an office that was maintained at a comfortable temperature for 'office work'. Either freezing or melting--and freezing is better because adding layers is an option. At some point, there isn't more one can take off to cool down.

Irish Knit sweaters from Donegal!!!

A cheap, warm one.

I slay a bear, and wear him like a sweater, and his head like a hat.

I don't wear sweaters anymore.

The short sleeve, dolman layering type sweater. I've been searching far and wide for a white one without metallic thread - not having good luck.

Aran sweaters for me.

Sweater dresses! My favorite part of winter is wearing one from my collection over leggings/tights and with a pair of boots.

Even when it's 20 degrees I'll wear, at most, a regular long sleeve shirt or long sleeve base layer under my jacket. If I'm cold at home it'll be a short sleeve tee with my Woot hoodie to keep warm. Haven't worn a sweater since Grandma made me

Of course if Woot sold sweaters, I'd probably buy one...

A cardigan. Not only does it make us aging grunge kids feel like it's still 1993, but you can keep warm while still allowing people to appreciate the awesomeness of your t-shirt.

d and i don't wear sweaters

Just got back from the mall. I swear they only sell v-neck sweaters anymore.

I concur. However, I'm still partial to the hooded, pocket-y sweatshirt variety of knitted sweaters (which is odd because I don't enjoy pullover hoodies - they always feel like they're strangling me.)

Yes.
