"This is a story about how you are not supposed to knit a sweater for your boyfriend." "Entanglement, or How I Failed to Knit a Sweater for My Boyfriend," is a short story by Carrie Vaughn featuring the dreaded "sweater curse" and how to knit for the man who has wings. Interview with the author about the story's origins can be found here.

Nope, brainwane didn't post this. I just saw it and loved it.

"A big part of knitting that beginners don’t always understand is you have to be ready to unravel anything, no matter how much work you’ve already put in." Something I need to learn about my own hobbies and the things I make.

Thanks for posting this, jenfullmoon!
