Ask the Geeky Girls -
Rhonda (DuellingNeedles) from Pennsylvania asks:
I am currently watching old episodes of your podcast and have a question about the issue that was going on with BlipTV. Were they only targeting knitting, and why were they getting rid of knitting shows? I had never even heard of Blip before and was just curious what the issue was.
