The final interviews
That’s right. The final interviews. There will be no more interviewing on Dogs Steal Yarn after the three that follow here. It was fun while it lasted, but all good things etc etc.
And so, the questions.
1. If Elvis isnt dead, whats he been up to lately?
2. What was your biggest knitting disaster?
3. What, exactly, is a rabbitch? Do they make good pets?
4. I love the chicken hat. I really do. I plan to knit one for my nephew-to-be… But it does bear asking… What kind of sick mind came up with it in the first place? Imagine the scenario that led to the birth of that idea and describe it.
5. Drunken knitting, you say? Hmmm… Ever wake up in the morning to find out that youve engaged in some questionable intarsia while blacked out?
Anita
1. What was the strangest search engine entry that led someone to your blog?
2. Has V retaliated yet for the April fools coffee caper? If not, what do you imagine he might do? If so, what had you been imagining that would have been oh so much worse than what he really did?
3. Whats your most embarrassing guilty pleasure song?
4. Whats the very last place on earth youd want to live? And if you had to move there, what would you do to cope?
5. Have you ever written a fan letter? To whom?
Andrea
1. So Im interview number six for you… (What am I? Just another notch on your blogbelt? And I thought what we had was special! Sob, sniff)… What question do you wish someone would ask that hasnt come up yet?
2. Do crocheters ever get needle envy? I mean, knitters get to use two but you guys only have that hook and all… And everyone calls you hookers, and frankly the knitters do get all the glory… How does it feel to be a crocheter in a world where knitting seems to dominate?
3. Or do you knit too and I missed that?
4. Whats the best, most gratifying reaction youve gotten from a handcrafted gift?
5. And the worst?

I spent the weekend at my mom’s house. Today was my sister-in-law’s baby shower. It was a great weekend, but I’m rather tired. No news to share anyway. Picture the front of the corset pullover with seven more inches added. Picture a little green cotton cap with a belly button knot on top gifted at the baby shower today instead of the blanket that I haven’t even cast on for yet. (Whoops! I need to start that soon. The baby is due at the end of May.) Picture the Lopi cardi abandoned because not only is the chart screwed up, but the math is also wrong. I’ll rewrite the pattern in the fall. Picture me with my head on my desk. I’m tired. Tired. I have to have second draft of the novel done by the 7th. We’re in crunch time. Please send good revision vibes!

It sounds to me like you need a nice of cup of tea and a cookie.

Why is it that now that it’s spring and we’d like to spend all day outside doing nothing, we’re all so darn busy? It hardly seems fair. I’ll be sending good vibes your way! 🙂

I love revising–go Cari go! It’ll be tough for a week and then it’ll feel great.

You can do it, Cari! The vibes are on their way — hope they don’t get held up at the border…

Good Vibes coming your way – as always.
I’m sad the interviews are over – you came up with some really great, thought-provoking questions.
I liked the one about the SUV full of knitters and the Alpaca. And the “What is Elvis doing?” question.
My friend Sarah christened my car “Elvis” because “Elvis never dies.”
My last car’s name was “Lumpy.”
Anyway – love your blog. Best wishes and kind thoughts,
Suzanne from The Frog’s Blog

Hey, Rachel suggested that I get in touch with you. I have been lurking for a while anyway…I love IGs and have always wanted one, although I have the absolute WRONG set up for one right now…as I am sure the woman from IG Rescue understood, which is why she has never returned my message! Anyway, a woman who blogs about knitting and IGs is a woman after my own heart…:-)
Anyway, I am looking for someone to share expenses so that I can go to Maryland, and Rachel thought you might not be going for monetary reasons. Anyway, drop me a line and let me know if you have any interest in going.

I dreamed of being a writer more than once, but those hopes were dashed once I realized that I can’t do rewrites. Any creativity I have is dumped onto the paper with one big plotz and I can’t bear to change a jot or a tittle once I’m done.
