Curses

Back in the day, I didn't know about the curse of the love sweater. I never actually knit a love sweater, but I did knit two scarves and mittens. And it's a fact that one of these gifts actually caused (ok, partially caused) the beginning of the end of the relationship. When the frog and I got together and he found out I knit he asked me to make something for him. I immediately said no. I was kind of vague about why, but I eventually told him about the curse and the story of one of the nicest things I ever designed and knit and gave away and got dumped because of. He never asked again. But now that we are married, I figured it would be safe and wanted to make him at least a little something for winter so I asked what he would like. He doesn't want anything because, even though he is usually a thoroughly unsuperstitious person, he's afraid something bad will happen. So, the frog wants confirmation from the knitting community that if I knit him something, it will not mark the end of our very short marriage.
