In Which I Become An Investigative Reporter

I spent last night following back links when I found this little gem on Karen's blog. I'll let you follow the linkfest yourself, but it is interesting that the husbands' answers are quite similar which can only mean one thing. They all wanted to get through it without falling through the thin ice they felt they were on. Heh. Here goes:

Me:  What is your favorite thing about my knitting?
Him:  It makes you happy.
Me: What is your least favorite thing about my knitting?
Him: That you don't talk to me as much when you are knitting.
Me: That's not true! Anyway, what is something I have knitted that you recall as being good?
Him: My socks.
Me: Do you think knitters have and expensive hobby?
Him: Yes.
Me: Do you have any hobbies?
Him: (Laughs)  (He sees where this is going) Yes.
Me: What are your hobbies?
Him: Scuba Diving, biking, hiking, motorcycling, boating, tennis.......
Me: Let's not forget Winter Hiking, so, if we compared money spent on hobbies, who would win?
Him: Me.
Me: Has my knitting in public ever embarrassed you?
Him: I'm sure once or twice.
Me: You can't remember any times in particular?
Him: Maybe it was a hockey game or something....
Me: Do you know my favorite kind of yarn?
Him: Ummm...... Sock yarn?
Me: Good guess, but lace is really my favorite, for the moment. Can you name another blog?
Him: Ummmm, How the West Was Spun?
Me: Good one! You really know everybody by their real names, anyway. So, do you mind that I want to check out yarn stores everywhere we go?
Him: No.
Me: Do you understand the importance of a swatch?
Him: Oh yes, it is to get the gauge right.
Me: Excellent! But being my husband, you'd better know that one. Do you read Knitting the Blues?
Him: Yes.
Me: Have you ever left a comment?
Him: Ummm, I think so.
Me: Do you think the house would be cleaner if I didn't knit?
Him: Nah, you'd find something else to do.
Me: Thanks so much for playing along, is there anything you would like to add in closing?
Him: Nothing, except that I think the knitting, spinning, blogging thing is great. I really do. And I want more socks.
Me: Awww!

One hundred fifty to go. Well, now you know.

Good for the husband! Although, I don't know, those answers sounded awfully skewed toward "I helped you, now would you please knit me more socks" ... not that he doesn't deserve them, I'm sure!

[Kim]

That Pete....he's a pretty darn good catch :)

[Laurie]

Oh FABULOUS. He is a keeper for this reason, also. He reads you!

[Laurie]

I just followed the links, and Mr. E gets interviewed at the first opportunity. Do they get to know at the start that it is an interview?

[margene]

He knows on which side his bread is butter. So when will he get his sock reward?

[Carole]

Great job, Pete. I'm going to do this one, too. Can't wait to see if Dale fits the mold.

[Nora]

Pete is my hero. I don't think I'd get past the first question with my DH - who appears to collect bikes as a hobby, but he still thinks that any money I spend on yarn is squandered.

[Karen]

Gasp! You were knitting at a manly hockey game?? haha He did good!

[Marcia]

Sounds like the answers my hubby would give, although he's got different hobbies: woodworking, book collecting, clock collecting, wine collecting (and drinking), so he'd also win. Compare the price of a spinning wheel to the price of a power tool or case of wine. Yeah. And he knows what a swatch is, too! And wants more socks!

[Vicki]

Good man.

[maryse]

i don't want to give this to joe because of the house cleaning questions. let's let sleeping dogs (and their fur) lie.

but honestly, like terry i'd just find something else to do.

[Danielle]

Oh, I really need to interview Thom now :)

[Leah]

To cute. I guess I missed this on Karen's blog. But it will be a fun project.

[Cookie]

He's a keeper.

[Anne]

Wow! I'm suitably impressed he knows my blog name. I am not 100% sure my husband does and he lives here. Wow again!

[claudia]

Pete, nicely done.

[Lucia]

Excellent! I may have to do this one. Also, happy birthday, Erin! Also, lovely sweater. (This is called speed commenting.)

[Emily]

Aww! I love it.
