An article written by Karin Schott in the February 1, 2016 Huffington Post, The Ex-Husband Sweater, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/karin-schott/the-exhusband-sweater_b_9132208.html speaks to the emotional investment a knitter has to her work. How many of you can understand her thoughts expressed in the article? I certainly do.

I’m not a knitter and didn’t know about the sweater curse but that was a great article to read. We humans do find symbolism everywhere we look, don’t we?

I too have never knitted a sweater for my second husband and we’ve been married 32 years. Nice to hear from you. XO Mary Lou
