I don't know why they call them "ugly sweaters" either. I have 2 Christmas vests that I suppose would qualify, but I enjoy wearing them. I've always wanted a Christmas sweater, but since I have the vests (bought separately in a thrift store), I don't need one anymore! I guess their original owners thought they were ugly; lucky me!
The ornament is cute! And I'd love to make one (or 3)!
