The Husband gets it! I apparently do not!

Yesterday, my husband said 2 different things to me that made me think he gets my obsession.  Now, he knew about it and loved me anyway, but yesterday he proved that he gets it. 

Example A:  I was going to take the Boy to get his hair cut yesterday morning.  However, I started feeling shaky and my eye was getting twitchy, so I decided that I should not drive until it went away.  I asked the husband to drive us to the haircut.  (This haircut has waited way too long so putting it off was not an option.)  He said "I was hoping to clean some while you guys were gone."  Sweet!  He still drove and in the car I apologized for not being better at cleaning the house.  That's kinda my JOB now.  I would have fired me long ago, but he's a saint.

He said... wait for it...  "Its o.k., honey, you were trying to get something done quickly for your friend's baby.  That was important." 

I said "So as long as I'm knitting projects that will be gifts for friends, you'll clean the house?"  Dude... be careful how you answer that, because I have a knitted gifts list a mile long.  He just smiled.  I better not abuse that. 

Example B:  With part of my tax check money (we each got $100 to blow as we saw fit before being responsible with the rest), I ordered a new knitting book off of Amazon.  Its Berroco Comfort's newest Afghan book.  I am SUPER EXCITED about it!  There was 1 specific pattern that I wanted to try and I have Berroco Comfort waiting that my Grandma bought me for Christmas a couple years ago.  I have 10 skeins in a nice green that is supposed to be for a throw blanket for me.

Yes... I am actually planning to knit something for myself for a change.  Shocker!  I get my book and guess what... the much coveted Textured Knots pattern requires 17 skeins.  I only have 10.  The husband says "can't you just buy 7 more?"  (I love that he totally was going to let me buy more yarn.)

Then he says "Oh, wait... I know.  It wouldn't be the same dye lot."  HE GETS IT!! 

And now for the part where I do not get it... I messed up the left front of Abbie's Cardigan.  This is why I was confused about the button holes.  Looking at the side that I had already completed, the button hole placement didn't make sense to me. 

If you look closely... the seed stitch edging up the right side is where I started the armhole.  Ummmm... that's wrong.  I should have put the armhole on the other side.  The seed stitch edging is where the buttons go.  So this piece will be tossed and started over.  I am finishing the Right Front side right now.  Then I will reknit the Left Front.  

Once I figured out that I had done it wrong the first time, the buttonholes and finishing of the Right side made much more sense and I have 2 buttonholes completed!  :) 

Time to go make the husband a lunch for today!  See... I do some domestic duties when I'm not knitting!!  Or blogging about knitting.  Or looking up new patterns/yarn/techniques.  LOL
