You know you've been knitting too long when...

...you get a catalog from Lion Brand featuring a photo of a heavy cabled sweater...


...displayed on a wire hanger...


...and you feel like someone is scraping their fingernails across the chalkboard.

Lordy, don't you think the people designing the sweater would know better?

They aren't the people taking the photos. Anyway, it's not going to hurt the sweater for the length of a photo shoot any more than wearing it would.

LOL I fold sweaters and put them in drawers.

Dunno - I don't knit at all, and I've known for YEARS that you aren't supposed to hang knitted jumpers on hangers because they're too heavy, and will stretch under their own weight. I've always folded them and put them away in a drawer.

Is it worth you writing to the manufacturer & pointing out this is a lousy advert for their product? Do you particularly care about this manufacturer & want people to buy their product?
