At lunch conversation with grace_alina and I got thinking about knitting superstitions... just last night I read in Stich n' Bitch that it's bad luck to knit a boyfriend a gift and she had heard the same thing.... the thing is that I never heard about that till recently and I have already knitted Rodney a scarf... have I doomed us to failure? Here are a few other old wives tales...
KNITTING It's bad luck to leave a project unfinished. The intended recepient will get bad luck from the unfinished item. Stabbing your needles though your yarn balls brings bad luck to anyone who wears something made from that yarn. Don't knit a pair of socks for your boyfriend or he'll walk away from you. If you knit one of your own hairs into a garment, it will bind the recipient to you. Knitting for children you may have in the future, but before you are pregnant, is bad luck (it may prevent one from getting pregnant, or bring ill health to the baby).
