My friends Kelli and Noelle have interviewed their children and I thought it was a cute idea. So here is my interview with Aidan, who is six-almost seven - I have not changed his answers in any way:
1. What is something mommy always says to you? I love you.
2. What makes mommy happy? A hug and a kiss.
3. What makes mommy sad? When I am bad.
4. How does your mommy make you laugh? Definitely by tickling me.
5. What was your mommy like as a little girl? Cute.
6. How old is your mommy? 45.
7. How tall is your mommy? 95 feet tall.
8. What is her favorite thing to do? Knit.
9. What does your mommy do when you're not around? Go shopping for birthday presents for me.
10. If your mommy becomes famous, what will it be for? Knitting.
11. What is your mommy really good at? Cooking.
12. What is your mommy not very good at? Running.
13. What does your mommy do for a job? Works at our house.
14. What is your mommy's favorite food? One of them is pork roast, and also Hoppin’ John.
15. What makes you proud of your mommy? I don’t know.
16. If your mommy were a cartoon character, who would she be? The squirrel on Sponge Bob Square Pants.
17. What do you and your mommy do together? Read.
18. How are you and your mommy the same? We both love each other.
19. How are you and your mommy different? Mommy wears glasses and I do not.
20. How do you know your mommy loves you? Because she says she loves me.
21. What does your mommy like most about you? I don’t really know.
22. Where is your mommy's favorite place to go? I don’t know.
Some of the answers were a bit surprising; I think I am definitely more like Word Girl than the squirrel in SpongeBob! And while he is still too young to grasp some of the more abstract questions, I generally enjoyed his ansers. Noelle intends to interview her daughter at various ages in her life to see how the answers change, which I think is a great idea.

Local yarns
My happiness rating just went up a few ticks because an LYS opened near me! For non-fiber fanatics, an LYS is a Local Yarn Store, not to be confused in any way with a big box craft store, such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby.
Sugarfoot Yarns opened its doors yesterday and today was the not-so-grand opening (official Chamber of Commerce grand opening will happen in May), but it was grand enough for me. Since I started knitting last year, I have not had the opportunity to go to an LYS, since the closest ones are in Atlanta and not convenient to visit.
I was very very good with my spending - since the store is so convenient, I don’t have to buy and hoard. I wandered happily around the store, petting all kinds of lovely yarns. And how wonderful to have knitting expertise at the ready - I told the owner, Cheryl, what I wanted to knit and she made some excellent suggestions!
Here is what I left with:
I bought one skein each of Cascade Fixation and Mission Falls 1824 Cotton (for baby hats) and two skeins of Cascade 220. I want to make a felted clutch bag that calls for bulky weight but I didn’t like any of the colors she had in bulky, so at her suggestion I am going to hold the 220 doubled.
Cheryl also threw in sample cards of yarn, a sample of Soak and a pad of sticky notes with the store name and logo. We had a great chat and I also enjoyed chatting with other knitters in the store.
Yippee! I have an LYS!
