Yes, I've been making a ton of things, but the camera has exactly 0 batteries. So pictures will come later, from various sources (ie the people that I gave the presents to).
But I have a deep, philosophical question that probes the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, and the answer ain't 42.
WHY is knitting your SO a sweater supposedly a relationship-death-wish?
All the time I hear people joke about it, and I've even see it happen- you knit your boy a sweater and WHAM. he dumps you. WTF? Why?
I know for a fact that if I knit my boy a sweater he'd wear it with pride. He asks me to make him things all the time. He wears the scarf that I made him two years ago even in the summer! He shows off this terrible little card case that I made for his sheep's head deck to random strangers!
I don't get it. I really don't. Is it committment phobia? If so, people need to GROW UP. These men dumping their girls over a handknit (with love, I might add) are not teenagers. They are adults, who should be able to accept a gift graciously. It's not like the sweaters were ugly, or misshapen, or bill-cosby-type monstrosities. These are nice, classy (in one case cashmere!) sweaters.
Sigh. people depress me.
In other news:
I can crochet! Last week at work I taught myself using the videos at nexstitch. I made a misshapen ball first, and then made my adorable new purse using this tutorial. It's so dang adorable. Pics later.
:D :D :D crocheting rules...

In response to your question abut relationships and sweaters:
Part of it may be some bizarre guy thing where the guy is afraid of being marked (the person was probably equally opposed to getting married) because he liked the thought of being 'out there' still and getting other girl's attention. Perhaps he found the sweater ugly and couldn't tell her -- granted that he would let it go so far as to break up, I'm confused. Maybe the guy has some weird thing about homemade sweaters from his mom and carried it through to this relationship. Generally, if the relationship gets broken up, there was a problem to begin with, whether the people saw it or not, it was there.
