Lee Wildish.
After the KnitWit family moves into a new home, they throw a housewarming party, which they believe requires sweaters; a few more amiable play-on-words misunderstandings follow. It's Amelia Bedelia meets Harry Allard's Stupids, without the latter's riotous relentlessness. In an interesting juxtaposition, the KnitWits, pictured as stuffed animals in color photos, cavort against cartoony backdrops.
