The "Sweater Curse" for Stalkers
I saw this gorgeous cabled sweater in The Knitter magazine and I want to make it. It's a man's sweater, but I don't have a man to knit it for. (though, I have to admit I would wear it myself)
It made me think of the "sweater curse" and the possibility of reversing it.
If I knit a sweater for someone I've never met, would they then want to meet me? (duh, I had someone in mind) Is that too stalker-y?
I decided it was a bit stalker-y and anyway, I wouldn't know what size. It's not like that's on his IMDB bio.
And then I realized, using PhotoShop and some basic figuring I could get damn close.
I haven't actually done this. Yet.
I think I've creeped myself out with this. I know it would creep me out if someone did this to me.
Besides, I'm not going to spend that much time or money just to long-distance stalk someone. (right?)
I have made several baby hats and scratch mitts, a tea cozy, and a cat toy; I'm working on my first pair of socks, a stroller blanket, and some baby socks; I'm planning on a cute top using a bamboo/silk yarn and socks/legwarmers for my nieces.
This knitting thing is doing weird things to my brain.
