I...just...knitting and crocheting are not the same thing? The terms are not interchangeable? Also knitters call it the sweater curse. Mostly because knitting is not crochet so them calling it the crochet curse would be insane. Crocheters I'm sure do call it the crochet curse.

Oh gee the phenomenon even has its own Wikipedia page:

Want 2 knit my partners’ sweaters bc I love them but I’m also terrified of The Curse

[bakedbakermom]

fanfic is not content. fanfic is not a service.

fanfic is a HOBBY.

and like. i knit. i knit for other people. i share my knitting and give it as gifts and enjoy the process and the feedback and seeing someone love something i made and sometimes i will even take requests if i like you enough. but if i'm not having fun, or the person doesn't appreciate it, or they ask for something that will make me miserable or in a way that makes me feel obligated instead of excited... i will frog that shit so fast and you'll never get another sweater again.

people who make demands of fic writers, or scrape our content for sale or ai or whatever, or bitch and moan about our fic not meeting your expectations... you're the same people who will buy a $3 machine-made walmart sweater and then complain when you try to buy a handknit one and it's $350. babe that thing took 80 hours to make and i poured my heart and soul into it. i started with a ball of string and two sticks, and turned it into a hug you can wear. love it or go back to walmart.

Sleep deprivation is one hell of a drug

[apollos-polls]

The "sweater curse" or "curse of the love sweater" is a 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

[gornwen]

So I knit a sweater for my boyfriend once.

I no longer have a boyfriend. Well, I do. Just not that boyfriend.

Not that we broke up or anything. There was a severe depression, a lot of doctors appointments. Many therapy appointments.

And now I have a girlfriend.

I believe in the sweater curse. I'm a victim of it.

Sweater curse poll! if you dont know what it is check out my previous post, the comments are really insightful. please reblog! im trying to get as many votes as i can.

The Sweater Curse

Darcy looked at the pattern he had on his lap and then stared at him in horror. “Bucky, are you insane? Have you not heard of the Sweater Curse?”

Bucky’s eyebrows flew up in surprise at Darcy’s comment. “The Sweater Curse? What’s that?”

“Holy shit, how can you not have heard of it? It’s when you make a sweater for a significant other and they dump you. Are you trying to get dumped by Steve?”

as a fiber artist I fucking LOVE the sweater curse

it's such a good litmus test for relationships

cause like.... would we feel certain that the sweater curse is going to affect us if we didn't already know that our partner would take our skills and generosity for granted? would we know that the sweater curse was going to prove that we're taken for granted if our partner wasn't someone who asks "when are you going to make me x?"

it's a litmus test- if you believe in the sweater curse and you think about making one for your partner and a little voice in the back of your head doesn't say "but they've shown me they won't be like this" then maybe think about some things

anthony boyle's Scorpius pulling his sweater sleeves over his hands to wipe his tears away is so very precious to me

[dragon-tidbits]

So

I can crochet

And since @dipperpines-kin told me the jacket of my Ford plush can come off-

CLEARLY I had to make him a proper little turtle neck

Race likes knitting sweaters but hates knitting sleeves so Spot's wardrobe ends up being like 50% hand-knitted tank tops
