On the couch with Oprah
I mean Elizabeth:
1. What is your favorite movie soundtrack? If your life had a soundtrack, what would that soundtrack be and why?
My gut reaction is Pretty In Pink, that soundtrack got me through High School and when I hear any of the songs today, I am instantly transported back to a brief wave of happiness amid a sea of awkwardness.
If I could pick my own soundtrack for my life so far, it would be made up of:
The Cure – Just Like Heaven
The Dead – Estimated -> Eyes
Indigo Girls – Love’s Recovery
Phish – Bouncing Round The Room
Green Day – When I come around
Dave Matthews Band – Crash
O.A.R. – That Was A Crazy Game Of Poker
Dan Zanes & Father Goose – Hokey Pokey (yes, you put your right arm in ..)
2. If someone said to you that a woman who knits cannot call herself a feminist, what would your response be?
After I stopped laughing, I might ask them what the connection could possibly be. I can’t paint or sing or sculpt masterpieces out of blocks of marble, knitting is one of the few mediums I can manipulate and explore. Also, my knitting is my connection to the women in my family and my heritage, and if I can’t honor and respect the women in my past, how can I honor and respect women in the present or the in the future. Luckily, the feminist movement in America isn’t organized like the Catholic Church, we don’t have a head feminist who can declare knitting a sin against women and feminism, because if we did, I’d probably be brought up on charges of heresy, and not just for knitting, but for a whole host of other issues.
3. What has been your best blogging experience? Worst?
The answer to both is the Great Stash Redistribution Project – which had such promise, and many people enjoyed, but I let the criticism get to me at a point when I was particularly vulnerable.
4. When deciding whether or not to knit someone a gift, do you have any criteria to determine if someone is “knit worthy”?
My gift knitting has been, for the most part, a failure. Now, if someone asks, I’m more than happy to, but other than a new baby, nobody gets my handknits but me, and that now includes my children as well.
5. Do you have a guilty pleasure, if so, please tell all!!
It used to be ice cream, but now it is probably “Queer as Folk.” I’ve run through all the past episodes on DVD thanks to Netflix and am eagerly awaiting the next season. I’m a sucker for gay porn, and gay porn with real storylines is too hard to pass up.
Thanks, Elizabeth, this was fun! I’d love to interview you - leave me a comment and I’ll put on my thinking cap.

Hi Amy!
Do you have any updates on the GSRP? I was excited to see that Indigirl found the Lace (Canadian) box in her garage in Calgary and was going to be sending it on back to BC!
Please let me know if it’s still going on, or if it’s become a T.O.A.D.; in which case, I’ll stop buggin’ you about it.
Warmly,
Miranda II
clearly enthusiastic GSRP participant

I love those questions and awesome answers. “What about prom?” What happened to “the prom”? Kevin and I joke about that quite a bit. I love that Furs song.
