Ask the Geeky Girls - Jayne (jcstormy) from Wisconsin asks:
Dami, I am wondering if you’ve been homeschooled all your life, or just since moving Edinburgh? Regardless, has your high school curriculum been based off of US Education Standards, or England Education Standards. Was attending a Scottish high school an option, or because you are only there on a Visa was this not an option. Congratulations on completing high school! I’m guessing the past few years have been a bit more challenging, but what an accomplishment!!

Ask the Geeky Girls - Mary (jamn2knit) from Florida asks:
I know you answered similar questions in your last episode “pink heffelumps” in regards to visiting Scotland and yarn shops. My kids (19 and 23) and I are planning to travel to Ireland, Scotland and England late February/ early March 2018. I know most people go during the warmer, tourist months but we want to avoid the “tourist ” time. I also understand the weather will not be ideal but that’s what wool socks and sweaters are for, right? We’re looking at approximately 3-4 days in Dublin and the surrounding area, 2-3 days in Edinburgh, a train to London and stay there for a day or two until we return home.
Now for my question, would you still recommend someone visit during that time period or not? Dami, I would like your thoughts on this, as well. At least I know what yarn shops to visit in Edinburgh, but I can’t remember if you suggested any in London. I’ve been told there aren’t many in Ireland but I’ll still take a look. I’m thinking we’ll do some sightseeing and museums or just walking around during the day and check out the local pubs in the evening, where I’m looking forward to experience the atmosphere while knitting.
