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

    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 first heard of the sweater curse more than 30 years ago.

      It’s been a thing in knitting circles for generations as far as I can tell.
