I had seen this interview a long time ago on a couple of blogs I read. I always wanted to do it and now I'm finally getting around to it.
Me: What is your favorite thing about my knitting?
Jeff: That it gives you a creative, constructive hobby.
Me: What is your least favorite thing about my knitting?
Jeff: That it distracts from other things you could be doing.
Me: What is something I have knitted that you recall as being good?
Jeff: My gray sweater.
Me: Do you think knitters have an expensive hobby?
Jeff: No. An expensive hobby would be like collecting cars, racing motorcycles or golf. I think men have more expensive hobbies. Knitting isn't a cheap hobby, but it's not expensive. It's average.
Me: Do you have any hobbies?
Jeff: Yes
Me: What are your hobbies?
Jeff: Running and watching NFL Football on TV.
Me: If we compared money spent on hobbies, who would win?
Jeff: What does winning mean? Spending less money or spending more?
Me: Who spends more?
Jeff: I think mine are more expensive.
(Let me explain, because you're probably wondering how just how expensive running and watching football can be, right? Jeff is a serious runner. He runs 2-3 marathons a year. He buys new shoes every two months and we travel to other cities for marathons, so he's figuring in these costs.
As for football, we have NFL Sunday Ticket which is a service Direct TV offers which gives you access to every football game being played each week. He's also in three fantasy football leagues and traveled twice this year for two of the drafts.
I think we're probably even when you factor in my expenses at Stitches. But I'm glad he doesn't think so. wink)
Me: Has my knitting in public ever embarrassed you?
Jeff: No
Me: Do you know my favorite kind of yarn?
Jeff: No. I know that you don't like synthetics, but I don't know what your favorite type of yarn is. I don't even know if you have one. I thought it depended on what you were going make with it.
Me: Can you name another blog?
Jeff: Brooklyn Tweed. And then there's also the Yarn Harlot.
Me: Do you mind that I want to check out yarn stores everywhere we go?
Jeff: No.
Me: Do you understand the importance of a swatch?
Jeff: No.Me: What is something I have knitted that you recall as being good?

Me: Do you read my blog?
Jeff: Yes
Me: Have you ever left a comment?
Jeff: Yes
Me: Do you think the house would be cleaner if I didn’t knit?
Jeff: Yes
Me: Is there anything you would like to add in closing?
Jeff: I'm happy that you have a hobby that you enjoy. I'm glad that you're into your thing and it makes you happy.
Jeff: What is the importance of a swatch? Is that what you knit first when you start a FO?
And with that, I'm off to explain the importance of swatching and what a FO is.....

Sweet! Very sweet. I may just have to interview Mr. Larry for my blog!
Not my best picture, but I am handsome.
And modest too. ;)
That Jeff, he is goo-oooo-ooood! What a keeper!
Good Man! I'm not sure my jeff could name any other knit blogs. Your trip to the farmer's market made jealous- ours isn't so great.
