Experiences with the ´sweater curse´

Ok, so for those who are not familiar with what the sweater curse is:

Term used by knitters and crocheters to describe the belief that if a knitter or crocheter gives a hand-knit sweater to a significant other, it will lead to the recipient breaking up with the knitter.

Has anyone experienced the curse? I almost did in the past and unraveled the whole thing.

Not with sweaters, but with stuffies. Both of the guys that I made stuffies for no longer want anything to do with me. Could be because I chose to make them stuffies instead of something more ‘manly’ :unamused_face:

I gave my husband, who is very masculine ( think cowboy boots, chain saw, carpenter, builder) , a huge tiger stuffie one year. He LOVED it!
Granted at the time, we already married 18 years.

The right guy will come along, don’t settle for a non productive male.
