There is an ancient knitting law that every soldier of the stitch learns very early on: never knit your man a sweater (unless you have a ring). Even with a ring it is frowned upon to launch yourself into a bit of husband-hugging handmade. The Sweater Curse is lurking there in the shadows of knitting superstition just waiting to take your relationship by the heartstrings and cruelly cut every single one.
All is explained by Molly from Rocketboom, a non-knitter's take on why the Sweater Curse is a very real danger in the form of an informative video. Molly gives us some damn good reasons why it will all go wrong should you decide to take on that sweater for the one who makes you swoon.
It's worth watching just for Molly's knitting style as she stitches while she explain. It looks a damn sight easier than the way most of us knit. You don't end up with any actual knitting on your needles but surely it's the thought that counts.
