This is a variation on the theme, but as I was reading "A Passion For Knitting" this morning, I came across an interesting tidbit. In the foreward, Melanie Falick relates a story of how she wanted to knit a scarf for her new boyfriend (she really really liked him). She wanted to surprise him and so she did. Melanie says the end result is that they stayed together and are happily married. So guess there's always hope.
Happy knitting!

Or socks and they walk away. LOL. My theory is even simpler. Compare the percentage of boyfriends you break up with to the percentage you live happily ever after with. No wonder it got such a bad rep.

Just the same, I don't think a man rates a sweater until after the wedding.

| I made my husband of 34 years a sweater when were dating, it was made from very expensive wool and turn out beautiful! After we were married - less than a year - he decided to help me out by doing the wash. Guess what he washed and put in the dryer! You guessed it! It was my first "felted" project. I was so upset I have not knit a sweater since. I'm surprised we are still together after that. That must be grounds for a divorce don't you think. He still tries to help out by doing the wash even though the girls and I have fired him many a times. And yes, he continues to ruin our clothes. What is a woman to do. Homebody Knits |

Steve, my SO, has discovered the joys of wool sweaters this awful winter. I have knitted him a ton of sweaters, well about 6 or 7. All are wool or wool blends. Until this winter he only wore them occasionally because (1) they're too good to wear around the house; and (2) it's not cold enough.
This winter it's been frigid and natural gas prices have skyrocketed again so our heating bills are ridiculous. He's wearing his wool handknits at home and is surprised at how warm and comfortable they are. He's bonded to me for life, or as long as we're in the Northeast.
