Today's interview with Fireman

By -


I was interviewing Fireman for the blog today and he was giving me sarcastic kind of answers.
For instance, I asked how many days a week I knit and he said, 'Geez that's a hard one, how about 8?'

WE went a few rounds and then I asked,
"do you like to buy me knit gifts" and he said, no!
He said it is too difficult AND it looks like nothing when he wraps it.

Well, then I had this awful idea. I'll volunteer to help your spouse, boyfriends, family when
they need to buy you a knit gift! Send them on over.

As far as it looking like a small thing, well geez diamonds are small too right? I love knit theme gifts. What's more fun than new yarn????

Thanks for the offer but I think I need to maintain the status quo. DH and I have an agreement--I don't question how many times he plays golf and he doesn't ask how much yarn I buy. If he got involved in buying it as a gift we might upset the delicate balance and give him information about yarn that I don't really want him to have! You know how it is, what happens at the yarn store stays at the yarn store. Haha!!

?? he has a problem with buying yarny gifts?? I make a list for DH and I usually get a couple things off the list and then something he surprises me with that is non-knitting related. He's a great supporter of my habit, lol.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
