And Now For Something Completely Different

Seems there's a bunch of bloggers interviewing their husbands.  I found this on Terry's blog, and enjoyed it so much I followed the linkfest back several bloggers.

Here's what my darling hubbo had to say...

Me: What is your favorite thing about my knitting?

Scott: I love seeing you do what you love all the time.  That just gives me so much joy. [Awwww...]

Me: What is your least favorite thing about my knitting?

S: That it's spread out all over the house.

Me: What is something I have knitted, that you recall as good?

S: Everything! Are you kidding?

Me: Do you think knitters have an expensive hobby?

S: Yeah, relatively.  But as hobbies go, it's probably on par with others.  Drumming [Scott's "hobby," although like me with knitting, it's definitely more than a hobby] is potentially more expensive.

Me: Do you have a stash of any kind?

S: Sure. 

Me: Have I ever embarrassed you, knitting in public?

S: No. Well, I would say once or twice there were circumstances I thought it was inappropriate to be knitting.  Well, no.  When we first met, I felt like the fact that we were knitting when we were just hanging out meant that you weren't paying attention to me.  Then I realized you could do two things at once.

Me: Do you know my favorite kind of yarn?

S: I don't know specifically, but I've heard you talk about merino.  Not lately though.  But you used to talk about merino.  Is alpaca a kind of yarn? 

Me: Can you name another blog?

S: Is Ravelry a blog?

Me: Do you mind my wanting to stop at knit shops wherever we go?

S: No.  Because I would stop at drum shops wherever we go if I could.  [Here we should pause, and be thankful for the abundance of yarn shops.]

Me: Do you understand the importance of a swatch?

S: Oh, yeah.

Me: Do you read AlisonKnits?

S: No. Occasionally, but not regularly.  I should.  I always feel like it's such a knitting-specific thing, but the times I've read it I see that it's more about you. 

Me: Have you ever left a comment?

S: I don't think so.  Maybe once.

Me: Do you think the house would be cleaner if I didn't knit?

S: You'd have some other hobby.

Me: Anything you'd like to add?

S: I love that you're a knitter, and I wouldn't change a thing.  It brightens my world.  And of course I love being the beneficiary of things you knit.  I also love telling people that you're a famous knit designer.

I am loving reading this meme from everyone, but I'm afraid to hear my hubs answers!

[britt]

his answers are cute. it seems he knows more about knitting than my husband :-)

Give that man a cookie. Or something else that is also tasty and pleasant. *smishes him virtually* What an awesome guy!

You are very lucky to have a husband who loves your craft. My husband, on the other hand, would have answered everything in a negative way. He hates that I knit, hates the expense, what a bear. You should count your blessings!

hi. I came across helena in knitty and had to leave you a note. i love the sweater. i blogged about it a couple days ago. i am actually writing this from the coffee shop/yarn store - where i'm supposed to be writing my dissertation proposal - i keep staring at that long wall of gorgeous yarn and daydreaming about helena. (yeah, i know, it's my fault for trying to write at the yarn store in the first place!) looks like i'll have a bit of retail therapy before i leave. thanks for your creativity and inspiration.

the interview is great too - my husband and i would have a very similar conversation. he knows as much about short rows as i know about jigs (a woodworking thing), which is a suprising amount:)

What a sweet husband he sounds like. I wonder how my Huz would respond?

I loved taking your lace workshop at the Fiber Revival, you were great.

I love your new pattern. I am planning to make Helena for a baby I know, I am pretty sure I will have to make Hermia for me. Very lovely.

I loved this! Thanks for posting it. :)
