Emily: What is your favorite thing about my knitting?
Michael: That I get stuff to wear. Even though I don’t get to wear it for very long. Because of the heat. But socks, you know, you can wear socks all year round.

E: What is your least favorite thing about my knitting?
M: The quantity of sock yarn stashed around our house. In random places.

E: Like where?
M: Like shoved in the little desk upstairs. There’s probably some under the bed. (There’s not.)

E: What is something I have knitted that you recall as being good?
M: There are lots of things that you’ve made that are good. I love my cardigan.

E: Do you think knitters have an expensive hobby?
M (carefully): Umm. Some of them do.

E: Do you have any hobbies?
M: Yes.

E: What are your hobbies?
M: I don’t know if any of my computer stuff counts as a hobby. So that leaves ham radio and sailing.

E: If we compared money spent on hobbies, who would win?
M: Over the long run, I’m sure it’s me.

E: Has my knitting in public ever embarrassed you?
M: No. You knit in public?

E: Do you know my favorite kind of yarn?
M: Obviously, it’s sock yarn. You’re fond of the Lorna’s Laces.

E: Can you name another knit blog?
M: I’m Knitting as Fast as I Can, Lookie What I Made, Sugar Bunny Boulevard, there are tons of So-And-So Knits.

E: Do you mind that I want to go to yarn stores everywhere we go?
M (reluctantly): Not really. It bothers me that you rarely buy anything. Because, why are we there?

E: Look! Look! Did you see that? Dear, she’s on her knees!

E: Do you understand the importance of a swatch?
M: Absolutely.

E: And that is?
M: It’s to make sure you have your gauge right. Which is a combination of needles and yarn sizes.

E: Do you read Yarn Miracle?
M: Yes.

E: Have you ever left a comment?
M: Yes.

E: Do you think the house would be cleaner if I didn’t knit?
M: Probably not. I don’t think the reason the house is not clean has anything to do with you spending time knitting.

E: Is there anything you would like to add in closing?
M: Unh-unh.
