whoopi will probably still sell these even if she moves out of the united states. whoopi<u+2019>s new sweater line/getty image 




from ny post : whoopi goldberg , who has emmy, grammy, oscar and tony awards to her name, can officially call herself a designer. 




the 60-year-old <u+201c> view <u+201d> co-host has designed nine <u+201c>ugly christmas sweaters<u+201d> to go on sale at lord & taylor and hudson<u+2019>s bay beginning tuesday. 




<u+201c>i<u+2019>ve always liked them,<u+201d> goldberg told the new york times . <u+201c>they make me happy. i<u+2019>ve worn them for many years. i thought about all the things i<u+2019>d love to see on a sweater.<u+201d> 




the sweaters retail for $139 each and are made from wool, alpaca, cashmere and cotton. and the designs range from an octopus-menorah mash-up to images of both black and white santa clauses. 




<u+201c>you might start right after thanksgiving, and wear them all the way through hanukkah and new year<u+2019>s and then you<u+2019>re done for another 12 months until it rolls around again,<u+201d> she says. <u+201c>anything before thanksgiving is too early. i<u+2019>m old school. i come from the protocol of <u+2018>o.k., here<u+2019>s halloween and then you have thanksgiving.<u+2019> no christmas at halloween.<u+201d> this womyn is now a <u+201c>fashion designer<u+201d> 




while this is goldberg<u+2019>s first foray into the fashion world, if the sweaters fly off the shelves, she may design other items . 




<u+201c>i<u+2019>d love to design holiday footwear,<u+201d> goldberg mused. <u+201c>i<u+2019>d love to design housewares. if you<u+2019>re going to have things in the house, you might as well not be bored by them.<u+201d>
