Ask the Geeky Girls -
Cay (SOEDragon) from Maryland asks:
C.C., I notice you knit a lot of shawls. Shawls are my favorite thing to knit and I wear one nearly every day. I’m starting to get quite a collection going but I’m struggling with how to store them. They fall off hangers in the closet and I hate having to dig through drawers and bins to find the one I want. So, I was wondering how do you store your shawls?
This isn't the exact organiser we mentioned, but it's pretty close. Organiser
