The Boyfriend Sweater Curse

Posted by Renee Blixt Feb 7, 2009

We've all heard about it.

We've been warned.

If you knit a sweater for your boyfriend, expect him to bolt.

I've written before on the topic, "What do Men Really Want?" I limited myself to what they want in knitting. Lord only knows what else they want. And while I don't have much to share in the way of the rest of that broad topic, I certainly seem to have a knack for the opposite. If anyone needs any help with that, I'll be happy to share.

This week, I've taken on The Sweater Curse. I personally think it's simply a term for a collection of actions that make men run away faster than you can unravel a sweater. But, I could be wrong.

So, those of you who have experience here, please share! And if any of you have the opposite problem, (you know, having to beat men away from you with a stick) we'd love to hear about it! Of course, no one will blame you if you don't want to share those trade secrets, but we would be forever indebted to you.

Otherwise, I'm going to buy into The Curse. It's just a whole lot less embarrassing that way.
