is of the devil
Me: Can I interview you for my blog?
Him: Sure.
Me: [e-mail him interview questions]
Him: Some of these answers are a tad tongue in cheek.
Me: Don’t you want to elaborate any on some of the answers?
Him: No thanks. I like to maintain a certain air of mystery.
Me: Fine. I’ll just fill them in for you.But I’ll make sure it’s clear who’s saying what.
Him: So you’re going to put words in my mouth and paraphrase and misquote and interject in my witticisms?
Me: Yes. Just like in real print!
Him: I thought you were going to say “yes, just like at home!” ;P
Me: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
So without further ado, the interview:
What is your favorite thing about my knitting?
makes you happy
What is your least favorite thing about my knitting?
I dunno
What is something I have knitted, that you recall as good?
that sweater
He’s talking about this:

Do you think knitters have an expensive hobby?
that’s an understatement
[I’m pretty sure he lumped in the spinning when he thought about this because really, it could be worse.]
Any hobbies?
yes
[That would be collecting tikis and drinking beer. Not necessarily in that order.]
Do you have a stash of any kind?
Don’t bogart my stash dude
[FACEPLANT]
Have I ever embarrassed you, knitting in public?
no
Do you know my favorite kind of yarn?
the soft kind?
[This answer is actually correct. Except he forgot to mention my disdain for acrylic.]
Can you name another blog?
yes
Do you mind my wanting to stop at knit shops wherever we go?
not always
Do you understand the importance of a swatch?
I don’t think you do either, I’ve never seen you do one.
[Uh… I did one for that sweater!]
Do you read my blog?
yes
Have you ever left a comment?
yes
Do you think the house would be cleaner if I didn’t knit?
yeah right
[We’re still training the Boy to take over all the chores. It’s slow going because he keeps needing stupid stuff like FOOD and SLEEP and can’t lift anything “heavy.” I swear! Kids these days!]
Anything you’d like to add?
no
[Garrulous, this one.]
And there you have it.
This is the blog of Miss Drama Pants. She likes to talk about knitting, spinning, life and anything else she can think of. Apparently she also likes to talk about herself in the third person. If you want to know more, check out her about page.

LOL! I have the same problem. Everything’s “too-o heh-veee…” (Said in a whiny voice, of course.) I tried to get him to help dry dishes, but realized my dishes were way too important to chance on his still developing hand-eye coordination.
Hey, sorry I haven’t been around to read your blog. I’ve been oh, so, busy doing important things….Right…Anyhow, I switch blogs and went back to blogger. (Make a note!)
Catch you later! (Maybe.)

I always get misquoted in interviews. That’s why I always lie when being interviewed.

I have only been slightly successful in getting my children and employees to pick up after themselves and throw away trash.

heh heh heh He’s really chatty. At least he knows what kind of yarn to buy in a pinch.
