Interview (I can’t resist.)
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.

Hee hee, I just did this too.

Good man.

I noticed your husband mentioned hame radios as a hobby. I am a licensed ham radio operation- KC2-VXN is my call sign. My husband also has the same hobby. When I graduated last year it was really important to him that I get my license so I did. Just thought I would pass that on!

I’m impressed! I feel like my future-husband is informed but not that informed. He’s a golfer…. tee fees of $50 a game ensure that usually costs more.
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:10 am
He so gets brownie points for the clean house question. lol

I also said that I thought there was a knitblog named “Knitsplosion!” and that if there wasn’t, there should be.

Great job by Michael. I love reading these interviews!
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:53 am
Funny, I have had the very same conversation with my Commander and the response was pretty similar too!
He is also a Hamm KB2CDY - all of his gear is still in boxes. And he is a computer geek (Network Administrator). His hobbies are significantly more expensive than mine will ever been or will be.

That is great!!
I will have to see what I get from my fiance. 
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:16 am
What a good husband M is! I’m impressed!
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:35 am
Haha very cute. I love the comment about shopping… What a good husband
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:41 am
He’s definitely a keeper! lol And it’s amazing that she’s up on her knees already. Seems like just yesterday we were competing in DRT-the first, and awaiting her arrival.
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:20 am
I love this interview of hard-hitting questions & carefully executed answers….he noticed some random stashing but didn’t actually exhibit real irritation over it. Well done.
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:21 am
Wait - she’s on her knees?!?! Wow!
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:23 am
what a cutie M is…. and he even knew other blog names! WTG M !
so Ellie really is trying to pull herself up now? (or was that reference to someone else?)
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
I think your DH is a good man! It sound like your little one is already trying to get around on her own… Wow quite surprising! Strong girl!
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I’m extremely impressed & it’s nice to know that some DH’s actually listen…..
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Hope you don’t mind but I copied this with my dh’s answers to my blog. Was really curious how he would answer. Your husband really knows what’s going on with knitting.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:50 am
I’m impressed! Micheal knows his knitting!
August 28th, 2008 at 11:37 am
By all means BUY something at those yarn shops you stop in!
Did you know I started this meme in June? NEVER imagining it would become a meme or imagining how much fun I would have seeing it go round and round the knit blog world. It has been hugely fun.
