Yesterday I
was putting up a post in my (Hungarian language) FB spinning group about St
Distaff day, and I remembered, that back, when I was writing that BA thesis on
knitting (In the English / American institute of my university no less), I looked
into knitting and spinning superstitions. It was not a major point so my
research was not very deep, but lately it seems I keep bumping into the
topic. I keep mentioning „The Boyfriend
Curse”… Yeah, Xmas times and gift knitting goes hand in hand… so much another
blogger have written about it, but his viewpoint is not exactly mine… but then
what about the other superstitions? There are a ton of them concerning
spinning, knitting weaving or sewing… Do we know them? What if I would explore
them here one by one? Knowing myself I cannot promise that it will be a weekly column,
but I will try and bring a superstition, and maybe my thoughts about it here.
You could even tell me what do you think and we can talk… What do you think? What should be the first
one?
