Is this actually a widespread thing? I’d never heard of it (sorry if this doesn’tfit the sub)

Experienced it, no. Heard of it? Yes. And I’m pretty oblivious, so if I’m aware of it I bet it’s a widespread concept…
It’s totally a thing! I never believed in it until I started a huge blanket in celebration of our anniversary but never got to finish it.
Haven’t heard of it outside of the internet tbh. Also, I feel like it’s more a running gag than an actual belief. We can probably all agree that a breakup happening every 100 sweaters or so is not exactly a curse.
I found out about it online, I think because of an IG reel that mentioned it and prompted me to look it online because I hadn’t heard about it. I started knitting after a -big- breakup so I haven’t had the chance to ‘test’ the curse lol
Experienced it.
The curse is likely based on the item being too much pressure on a relationship that’s not ready for it.
If you’re a really experienced and fast knitter that’s regularly knocking of sweaters for yourself and perhaps have done small ones as gifts for friends kids, it wouldn’t be the same.
But if you’re looking for love to motivate you through your first big project, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. All the more so if you’re toting your project with you and knitting in public.
