Holiday Q&A

I love these Q&As. I got this from nothingbutknit2, but it was originally posted by compassionknit. I hope it’s okay I jump on the bandwagon!

Have you asked your kids to do something you wouldn’t do?

I can’t think of anything. At work, one of my staff told me she respects me because I do not ask them to do anything I am not willing to do myself. I guess I’m that way with my kids, too.

Do you understand: Football, Bridge, or Cricket?

If by Football we mean the same thing as Soccer, then yes. I also understand the basics of American Football. I do not understand Bridge or Cricket. I also do not watch sports as a rule, unless my children are marching in the band during half time. I have never played Bridge. I am fascinated by Rugby and Curling, though.

Have you talked to your family about Organ Donation?

No, I am a registered organ donor, though. It’s a little scary signing up because I always think about Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life” movie when they come for the man’s liver while he is “still using it.” I almost included a link to the video on youtube, but you know what? It is so gruesome, if you really want to see it, you can google it.

Did you knit something that you thought you might not be able to this year?

I think I can knit anything, and I probably have knit almost everything, at least once. There are some things I choose not to knit because I do not enjoy it. The fact that I am knitting at all at this point is pretty remarkable, because I had almost given it up. I’m so glad I clung to knitting!

I-phone or Samsung?

I have an iPhone. It’s fine.

Do you put bows or trinkets on your packages?

We wrap gifts in reusable holiday fabric bags that I made. So, no.

Do your pets get a Holiday treat?

Yes, if we remember. Thanks for the reminder.

Do you use headphones, earbuds or nothing when you watch something on your phone, computer or tablet?

Earbuds.

If you could take a craft/knit/crochet class in January for free, what would it be?

Weaving. Jewelry casting.

Have you ever made a traveling knit? (you knit part and send it on?)

No, but I would love to do that. I participated in an Exquisite Corpse art exhibit where my part of a piece was wire knitting. Here’s a pic!

I guess I couldn’t get away from the gruesome today.

A Look Back

I thought the best way to move forward would be to look back. In 2009, I began knitting and showing art. Although I haven’t made art or knit much of anything the past few years, I’m still proud of this work, and I don’t want to forget this important and prolific time. I’ve selected some of my favorite works to share here.
