@CrayonMaster
I think it's confirmation bias.

A lot of relationships break up at some point. A lot of people knit or crochet or quilt (I've seen this as blanket curse, too). So of course sometimes this breakup will happen just after a big project has been finished and gifted.

Once you start asking around the internet some will have experienced it, some will have heard of a case where it happened ➡️ a new meme is created.
