What is true, as long as we are nesting lovely sweater information, is that traditional fisherman ganseys would have the initials of the wearer knit into them.

Which is considerably more practical in either sense. These myths on Aran sweaters are silly and have been widely debunked. Many books on them too. Sigh.

Hah it was a man who invented these myths actually, although I can’t remember his name. German chap I think though.
